Where in the uk is there good mtb trails involving rock slab descents?

This is what made me want to ride some: http://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2014/07/pat-foster-rides-one-of...

I don't know about trails but somebody rode their bike down Balches Slide at Fairy Cave Quarry, that's a good rock slab (I don't condone this by the way).

There's Air's Rock at Wolftrax.
Great outlook to Creag Meagaidh too so it's just like the video you linked too. Honest.

The obvious ones are the slab at Dalbeattie and MacMoab at Kirroughtree. There's a short rocky section on the red route at Gisburn Forest.

That vid totally blows away the one in the OP. I remember seeing something in a really old MBUK mag of someone riding down a massive (~60 foot) ~45 degree slope in scotland that looked pretty mental but I can't remember where it was.

That was Rob Warner and Co from MBUK in the Avon Gorge, on the slab on the south side. Inspirational and totally mad.

I was trying to remember when it was... must have been in the 90's?
