The mini bike park at the top of Burnaby Mountain built by UniverCity will be open again on April 17 (don't know what time). So assuming it's not pouring rain, the pre-DH warm-up will be available once again.

There will likely be some closures in April, as Jay Hoots is coming back to reshape and repack some of the jumps and the pump track (raking, lip re-builds, and plate packing). He will also be adding a 3rd jump line to the right of the "larger" jump line. It'll be innovative, as he's just gonna' design-build something fun dug right into the dirt.

Remember, if anyone starts self-digging or altering the jumps and pump track in any way, it will be shut down due to pretty firm insurance regulations. So just like what you've got!

A note: that pump track gets damn fast if you take the time to learn it. Several transition lines as well.

Alright. The dirt jumps and pump track at the top of the mountain at UniverCity are now open. Rain showers forecast the next few days so avoid the jumps if it's pooling or mushy.

The weekend looks glorious so hopefully families on top of the mountain get at it and the big line is riding well enough for the Burnaby Mountain Shuttle Monkey Coalition.

Jay Hoots will be on-site in the next couple weeks to repack and plate tamp and rake the jumps and pump track. He will also be building a THIRD jump line on the right hand side that will be in-ground (excavated) to hopefully boost a bit more. No specific design, he'll just build what feels right.

This photo is from this morning after the fence and signs were pulled. It's running a bit slow, and in 3 laps, I could easily clear 2 of the 3 and just slightly case the last one. But I'm old and I'd just ridden up Cardiac, so was a bit pooped. The Pump track is a bit of work until it firms up.

Remember, due to insurance, any new digging or alterations and the park will be closed permanently.

The new jumps are open as of yesterday afternoon. Seems that it's designed for dirtjumper bikes but I was still able to clear it on my DH if I pedalled the whole way in. Thanks Hoots for building them!

You can take the 145 bus from production way station right to the top or you could take it from the gaglardi way stop
