Starting to build


The park will feature a cross-country loop with climbs, BMX zone, beginner/sport/expert sections, rhythms, foam pit, resi jump, street park, grind room, pump track and much more.

It will also house concessions, bike rentals and in the near future coaching services & a spin studio.

Programs, skills workshops, day camps, private rentals, races/competitions, demo days, and PK sessions will all be offered at the park.

There will be something for everyone – beginner riders to pros will find challenges, fun, and fitness.

Further details will be announced on our website, www.gtabikepark.com, as they become available in the coming weeks. Check often for updates & photos!

 jezzah&premiumbmx24 >>

We do have nice weather and perfect mountains . We have no federation to organize DH/4x races though(only open events) and no forward thinking brains to build a skate-bikepark etc. in the cities. They re like back in 80's building only basketball & 5x5 courts everywhere..So just practice, work & tickets to Europe or Whistler=)

 indoor XC is possible. it will probably be like a long loop around the entire perimeter of the building. the place is pretty big if you look at there website. they are most likely trying to appeal to every type of biker.

 chipboard??? OSB dude...and it's the only way to make those structures indoors. They act a substrate and then the final layer is put over top. Way to go guys...see you soon

 I really dont think this is Canada's first indoor mtb park...I know there is one being built in sherwood park, AB at the moment. Maybe the first huge public one. Im not saying im a genious, but you gotta think that theres small indoor parks scattered all across Canada.

 I live in Canada I dont feel that lucky for having this place cause it would take me probably 3 days to drive there if I got good weather. The people in the surrounding area of this place in Ontario are lucky to have it. not so much for BC

 What's a resi jump?
  • 1 0
 the landing is some material, where you can land on it and not fall if you land right, but if you have to bail, it cushions the landing.

 sorta like a gymnastics mat?
  • 1 0
 i guess? i dunno how to explain it.
  • 1 0
 Fairly hard, thick layer of rubber, over a layer of soft foam, so you can roll out easily (unlike a foampit obviously), but is not too painful if you bail. Basically the stepping stone between a foam pit and jump box.
