The plan behind Surface 2 Air was to create a little piece of Whistler in the home counties. Fortunately we had our own Cannuck-wannabe - freshly returned from seasoning in Canada - and initial drawings for Surface 2 Air started to take shape.
After a year of manual earth moving and several tonnes of surfacing material later, Surface 2 Air was born.
Moving away from Hill’s trademark steep, rooty, natural trails, Surface 2 Air is the first all-weather track on the Hill; it takes contemporary freeride mountain biking and adds an Aston twist.
Surface 2 Air is steep, fast and fun; getting air is the main dish on the menu, and it’s served red hot. It really is the most fun you can have with your shorts on.
Is this the trail for you?
Surface 2 Air is suitable for riders aspiring to an elite level of technical ability and incorporates everything from full on downhill riding to optional big-air jumps.
Trail surface types: Severe constructed trails and/or natural features. All sections will be challenging. Includes extreme levels of exposure and/or risk. Jumping ability obligatory.
Gradients and technical trail features (TTFs): Will include a range of small medium and large TTFs including downhill trails, freeride sections and mandatory jumps.
Suggested fitness level: A good standard of fitness but technical skills are more important.
What we recommend
We advise a full face helmet, gloves and body armour and recommend you familiarise yourself with the track before attacking at full speed.
For your own safety, do not push back up the trail! Use the push path provided.
