Antur Stiniog

Antur Stiniog is one of North Wales’ classic gravity riding spots: steep slate scenery, fast uplift laps and purpose-built downhill trails above Blaenau Ffestiniog.

ShredShots photo days here are focused on capturing proper riding moments — body position, commitment, roost, style and the landscape around you. Because the park is uplift-based, riders often get plenty of runs in during the day, which gives a good chance of appearing in more than one shot.

After a ride day, use this page to find your photos by event, time, trail, bike, kit colours or other details we’ve tagged. If you rode multiple laps, check the full burst as there may be several images from the same section.

Rider tips

Book and check park information before travelling. Uplift spaces, trail availability and weather conditions can change, so always use the official Antur Stiniog website for the latest details.
Expect gravity-focused riding. Antur Stiniog is best known for uplift-assisted downhill and freeride trails, with rocky sections, berms, jumps and technical lines.
Choose trails that match your ability. Start steady if it is your first visit. The terrain can feel very different from smoother trail centres, especially in wet or windy conditions.
Bring suitable kit. A well-maintained bike, proper helmet, gloves, eye protection and weather-appropriate layers are strongly recommended. Full-face helmets and body protection are common for this style of riding.
Make yourself easy to find in photos. Bright helmets, distinctive jerseys, bike colours and branded kit can all help when searching later on ShredShots.
Look ahead and ride naturally. The best photos usually come when you are focused on the trail, not the camera. Keep your eyes up, stay loose and ride the section as you normally would.
Respect the trails and other riders. Follow marshal or staff instructions, keep clear of closed sections, and do not stop in blind or high-speed areas.
