Who are we?

What is FlyUp ?

Flyup was born in May 2010 by husband and wife team Simon & Angela Ruskin.  The concept of uplifting came when Simon, a keen DH rider returned from a Mountain bike holiday in France. Like many people he had a busy life and got fed up of spending most of his precious riding day pushing up rather than riding. They launched their first uplift service at the Cannop Cycle Centre at the Forest of Dean helping to firmly put the cycle centre on the DH map! 

In 2013 the opportunity came to purchase and develop a 100 acre farm on Crickley Hill in Gloucestershire. The 417 Bike Park is the biggest privately owned mountain bike facility in England offering a variety of riding disciplines within one venue.
