The North of England has so little like this on our doorstep. Without DHDBP, families and young riders could be facing hours of travelling just to find somewhere comparable to ride.

We are incredibly lucky to have Danny Hart’s Descend Bike Park at Hamsterley.

Carlton and his friends absolutely love riding there. It keeps them active, gives them something they are passionate about and, most importantly, gives them somewhere to dream big. ❤️

It’s where they challenge themselves, learn new skills, build confidence, make friendships and encourage each other. You can see how much riding means to them — and places like DHDBP give young people the opportunity to turn those dreams into something real.

This is about so much more than mountain biking.

It’s about our kids. Our community. Physical activity. Mental wellbeing. Friendships. Opportunities. Dreams.

We cannot just accept losing something this special.

Every signature matters. Every share matters.

Let’s show that the North East wants to SAVE DHDBP and find a way for this incredible facility to have a future beyond 2028.

What a fantastic day at Danny Hart’s Summer Shredders! 🚵‍♂️

Today was Carlton’s first proper downhill race, and we’re so proud of him. He finished 9th out of 30 riders in Run 2 from 6th in Run 1—an amazing achievement in such a strong field. Most importantly, he had a brilliant time doing what he loves.

As a family, we wanted to support the sport and the next generation of riders, so Burnell Timber & DIY Ltd was proud to provide the trophies for the event. Seeing so many young riders pushing themselves, encouraging each other and having fun made it all worthwhile.

A massive congratulations to every single boy and girl who took part today. 🏆

Winning isn’t the be-all and end-all. It’s about having the courage to get on the start line, giving it your best, learning with every run and enjoying the experience.

We hope everyone loves their trophies, and we’d love to see even more young riders taking part next year. See you on the hill! 👏🚵
