Jonathan Rimmington on the Mountainboard Derby Facebook page suggested a couple of sites in and around Nottingham. I got a bit confused and wrote down the name of one and the directions to the other but eventually ended up at:
...just off Greenwood Road, plenty of parking space!
Bar the obvious grassy slopes, several possible trails were found. Nothing too long but a nice mix of tighter grassy channels, tracks, grass slope to wood tracks and wood tracks to grassy slope.
Some pics below so that you don't have to imagine....

[grass to track]
[Path to drop]
[Grassy Channel]
[Nice track]
[Nice bottom, 200m or so further down]
[More grass!]
[Nice, short bit of track leading to the grassy slope shown above]
In summary, Colwick park has a good number of tracks that would suit people who are bored of the open slopes and want to start hitting some tighter tracks instead. A lot of the tracks are straight and narrow and could be a bit of a squeeze with all the dog walkers around, but nothing a good spotter wouldn't sort out. I reckon there's possibly a bit more to discover around by the reservoir though the woods generally are a bit dense so its the footpaths or nothing. A nice location though and I'll certainly be back if I want a change of scenery at any point.
