Exchequer Mountain Bike Park, Mariposa, CA


Sponsor: Merced Irrigation District

The Bell Built trail will be a highlight of a new bike park located within two hours of the Bay Area, home of hundreds of thousands of mountain bikers. With a handful of trails already in place the gravity run will challenge riders and offer panoramic views of the open terrain.

Spirit Mountain Bike Park, Duluth, MN


Sponsor: Cyclists of Gitchee Gumee Shores (COGGS)

Spirit Mountain already offers the best lift-served riding in the Upper Midwest and the proposed new descent will up the ante by taking advantage of the mountain's abundant bedrock for steep roll downs, hucks, and rock gardens.

Urban Wilderness Gravity Trail, Knoxville, TN

Situated in the heart of Knoxville, this bike park is being constructed with a range of trails that will appeal to a variety of riders. The highlight will be the proposed gravity trail that will feature rock gardens, drops, and constructed features in a highly visible area that will draw attention to this regionally unique trail.

 I've got to vote for Knoxville specifically because it is urban, which is a movement I would like to see pick up steam in Portland (the most bike friendly city in the country, unless you have knobby tires). We have the "largest urban forest" in the country and it is entirely closed to mountain bikes except on fireroads... Success in Knoxville might show the whackos in Portland that bike trails do NOT equal environmental devastation and widespread flattening of hikers...

 Agreed. We need more urban trail systems. I love riding, but fighting traffic to get after work dirt completely kills the momentum. Flagstaff is great in that regard, 60+ miles of trails all accessible via an urban gravel trail system. Riding out the back door at its finest. I hope more cities can replicate Flag's accessible trail network while providing a better cost of living ratio.

 Success in Duluth should show your local gov. that urban green space and mountain bikes work great together.

Duluth is over 50% finished with the Duluth Traverse, a 100 mile multiuse trail that connects all the mountain bike trails in the City of Duluth together. This includes the lift served downhill at Spirit Mountain.
The Duluth Traverse is not a bike path, it has rollers and berms, rock hucks and roll downs.
Check this out.

I'm very jealous. Portland is nearly 20x bigger though. The metro area is almost twice as populous as Knoxville even.

 Please vote Exchequer! This place is a paradise in the winter, spring and late summer. We have been with putting in miles of hand built legal single track pre ridden by riders that have decades of experience. Please vote west coast and then come sample the goods. No matter what this place is going to be a rad place to ride! Haltal!
