The
International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) is seeking your input. Take
IMBA's new bike park survey and you can win a set of Mavic Crossmax ST wheels (MSRP $799) or sweet Mavic riding gear. It's a brief survey—only about 10 minutes—and your input really helps us stay informed about the worldwide bike park scene. (International riders apply!)
More of this:Santa Fe, New Mexico
And this:Steamboat Springs, Colorado
This builds off of a similar survey IMBA did in 2012 prior to its World Summit. From lift-accessed resort parks to neighborhood pump tracks, we're looking to hear about your experiences at bike parks to better inform us of where they're happening, how they're happening, and what separates the best bike park designs from the worst.
Updated information from both surveys will appear in IMBA's upcoming book, due out this fall, about the planning and construction of large-scale bike parks. Thanks!

@wuzupjosh, you have highlighted your own point. People make / would make use of smaller, local riding spots i.e pumptracks so that they are able to progress, and when you are at a level where progression can happen then you go further afield. There is nothing stopping pro level riders riding pump, but a lot stopping novices riding Rampage.
Think of it in education terms. It would be amazing if everyone was educated to University level, and there was an A* University in every town, but if there aren't any junior schools, then the universities are pointless
PS: And we don't have post codes.
it would be great to ride some kind of rollercoaster track
i like drops step ups ravine gaps and rollercoaster etc just to give you some ideas i would like to win those rims mine are bend ..]
