Åre bike park in sweden is a very very good bikepark I’ve been to. and it’s even have a chairlift and over 50 different trails from green to black and a “Åre bike festival” in the middle of the summer. Search Åre bike festival 2017 on youtube.
Port du soleil... its sooooo Big and cheap. Ten Bikeparkdays for 140€ and it has to over many bikeparks ... Les gets, Chatel,Morzine, Pleney, champery... every Bikepark was unique. At the end of the season, some trails are pretty bombed out but its still worth it
Hey Martyn I’m from Rotorua, New Zealand and the first couple clips aren’t actually from skyline bike park, that is actually a jump line in the Whakarewarewa forest not to far away. Whakarewarewa has a lot more trails about 131km of pure dirt gold!
Couldn't agree more. Skyline is fun for a little bit but the real fun is over in Whakarewarewa just a few km away on the other side of town which also has a shuttle uplift. Good to see Crankworx Rotorua doing more events over there this year.
Maydena Mountian bike park brand new park that is changing the sport in Tasmania with 800 meters of vertical descent to play on and is built by dirt art.
For me Portes du Soleil, 12 bikeparks all together you can access by lift paying the same ticket. For me is unbeatable!all bike parks mentioned together on that list are a tiny part of Portes du Soleil The weather maybe is weird but it worth it.
Lovely list! 😁 My favorites so far: Åre (Sweden) PdS (Portes du soleil incl Châtel, Les Gets, Morzine & Morgins) Geißkopf (Germany) where the famous Flow Country trail is) Spičak (Czech Republik) & Schulenberg (also Germany) where it feels more like riding with family as showing off the gear! But Black Mountain Bikepark and Kamploops are also on top of my still very long to-do-list 😉
Top 5 in the U.K. Would be great! Might be good for tourism too. Would be cool if you did behind the scenes at a bike park, so people can really appreciate the work that goes in constantly
My favourite trail is Whinlatter's Red trail, south loop in Cumbria. The baptism of fire 7 years ago, it was my first MTB day out and I got air! The trail has been improved year on year, its still my fav. Love you Whinlatter!
It should be noted that Ray from Ray's bike park took a hard fall and really messed up his spine. He had a GoFundMe page set up. www.gofundme.com/RayPetro
funny thing is first half from the footage of skyline Rotorua is not even from the bike park it is from the dodzy skill park. But the bike park is fun and the trails in the Redwoods are amazing. I think Queenstown and Hafjell are missing
Hey guys, my name is Mark Rutter, and I love the show! You mentioned not ever riding in Florida. In Ocala we have a massive trail system with over 100k of trails. We have red(double black diamond) and yellow(beginner) trails as well. There are drops up to 30ft, a massive jump line, pump track, and skills park. We have 5 local shops and a large helpful cycling community. Plenty of coffee shops and beer on top of all that with only an hour or so to get to the beach. You should come check it out whenever it might be able to fall on your schedule. I recommend around fat tire festival in March.
Great video guys, have ridden skyline and loved it, but just rode the new maydena bike park here in Tasmania yesterday and was blown away by it. It will definitely end up in your future top 5.
Believe it or not the east coast USA has some really great parks, alot different than uk or west coast, much more technical and tight, and the steepest stuff you've ever seen, Killington, Highland, Burke mountain, Sugarbush all insane
I think I would put Silver Star in Vernon, BC up there. It's the second best bike park in Canada after Whistler. Big, variety of trails (tech and jump) plus access to pedal network.
I might go there this summer. Is it mostly for downhill or are there good AM-trails around as well? Might be bringing my roadbike as well, do you know if there any nice spots for that, what's the traffic like?
I went to Rays indoor MTB a couple of years ago and had a fantastic time there. I’ve never ridden anything like it Great bunch of guys! We need one in the U.K. !!!!
My Favorit bikepark: Berfelden in Germany Why:it isn't the biggest one in the Word infact it's really small but because of it's sise you can go on on every trail in under 2houres. Also there are only Flow trails and they are getting msintenanced every weekend. Only negativ point is that there are no really big jumps the biggest jump is about 6m far but with a bit of creativity you can finde some 10m transferes 😂👌
Anton Paris Winterberg is sik and you have big jumps and much more runs and stuff but i love Flow trails and sometimes i just feel like doing some chilled out runs and don't get this scary seconds when you decide to Hit something really big 😂
I'd put Spirit Mountain in Duluth, Minnesota on the list. Great trails with lift service. Close to town for post ride munchies and beautiful views as well. Honorable mention goes to Detroit Mountain in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Small mountain but tons of fun. Plus it's minutes from my house.
If you're coming to Rotorua, you must also visit Whakarewarewa/Redwoods too. For a Brit who's moved to NZ, there's no better. Meet for a beer too; miss the British banter and love the website
Redwoods Rotorua New Zealand is my favourite place to ride it's got everything from flow tracks to steep downhill to massive jump lines and technical singletrack and something like 200km of tracks total (I might be wrong on that last bit but it's amazing)
If you ever do get to Rotorua, you need to go the Redwoods/Whakarewarewa forest. Whilst there is little in the way of shuttles to get up the hills, the single track riding is awesome!
Afan bike park is sick aswell even thought it’s not the biggest and best place but it’s a great place to practice and progress also it’s got lots of different trails and you can find lots of good trails from the park
Bikepark Beerfelden (2h by train from where I live, it's super rad), Bikepark Großer Feldberg; now this one is still under construction but it has three official trails ready to ride and the best thing? It's free. And the area, the Taunus Mountains in Germany, they're full of amazing single-track and some amazing, bikepark like but veeerryy challenging trails. Come and visit, you'll love it!!
Rostrevoiur in Co. Down is an amazing bike park Everything from jump park to downhill tracks and natural tracks 19km red loop that will test the fittest
Snow Summit has a very special place in my heart as it was the first place I ever rode in the mountains, back around 2010 on a family holiday all the way from the UK. This was in the days before the proper park was built when you were only allowed to take bikes on the chair with less than 100mm of travel. My dad drove us up from Long Beach with a couple of ancient XC bikes borrowed from our friends that made for some sketchy fire road bombing and one hell of a crazy ride down a very un-groomed Pirates! I still consider the very windy section of skyline with the small berms just after you pass the big rocks on the right to be some of the best single track in the world.
So sad, we had a Ray's in wisconsin 30 min from where I live and it got shut down because the renters jacked the price once they found out trek sponsored it. Now all we've got is a little bike park run by volunteers.
Even if it's not on our (very concise) list...what is your favourite bike park to ride at!?
Let us know down here 👇 👍
Global Mountain Bike Network Leogang is one of the bests
Bike park Ireland in tipperary
Do one for the UK this was a sick video
Åre bike park in sweden is a very very good bikepark I’ve been to. and it’s even have a chairlift and over 50 different trails from green to black and a “Åre bike festival” in the middle of the summer. Search Åre bike festival 2017 on youtube.
Leogang too
We are so proud of being on the video, thank you so much guys!
Port du soleil... its sooooo Big and cheap. Ten Bikeparkdays for 140€ and it has to over many bikeparks ... Les gets, Chatel,Morzine, Pleney, champery... every Bikepark was unique. At the end of the season, some trails are pretty bombed out but its still worth it
happy to see someone mention it ! it's the best place in the world !! mostly because it is so huuuge !
Hey Martyn I’m from Rotorua, New Zealand and the first couple clips aren’t actually from skyline bike park, that is actually a jump line in the Whakarewarewa forest not to far away. Whakarewarewa has a lot more trails about 131km of pure dirt gold!
the Redwoods are so amazing just the jumpline sucks
Anton Stamm Old jump line or the newly rebuilt line after the logging last year?
When I saw that it thought that it wasn’t it
Couldn't agree more. Skyline is fun for a little bit but the real fun is over in Whakarewarewa just a few km away on the other side of town which also has a shuttle uplift. Good to see Crankworx Rotorua doing more events over there this year.
Yeah the skyline rotorua is tiny but still fun to ride but prefer queenstown
Do the top 5 in the UK aswell
Maydena Mountian bike park brand new park that is changing the sport in Tasmania with 800 meters of vertical descent to play on and is built by dirt art.
whitt I agree and Thredbo is good to
I can't wait to hit Blue Derby again but Maydena is way closer to me, not done it yet though.
THREDBO in NSW Australia 🇦🇺 how could you miss that!!!!
For me Portes du Soleil, 12 bikeparks all together you can access by lift paying the same ticket. For me is unbeatable!all bike parks mentioned together on that list are a tiny part of Portes du Soleil The weather maybe is weird but it worth it.
Ray’s is celebrating 20 years this season. It keeps growing & getting better!

SilverStar BC. It's essentially Whistler but without any crowds. Perfect trails

Åre (Sweden)
PdS (Portes du soleil incl Châtel, Les Gets, Morzine & Morgins)
Geißkopf (Germany) where the famous Flow Country trail is)
Spičak (Czech Republik)

Schulenberg (also Germany) where it feels more like riding with family as showing off the gear!
But Black Mountain Bikepark and Kamploops are also on top of my still very long to-do-list 😉
Revolution Bike Park🤘🤘
Top 5 in the U.K. Would be great!
Might be good for tourism too.
Would be cool if you did behind the scenes at a bike park, so people can really appreciate the work that goes in constantly

Pilllaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Skied there, seen the trails. They look fun, but not enough of them to really class as a bikepark.
Panorama! I love this park because of all the awesome worldcup downhill trails and it’s where the next generation is starting !
Maydena bike park in Tasmania. Its brand new (about a week old) and is said to be as good if not better than new zealand.

Great video guys, have ridden skyline and loved it, but just rode the new maydena bike park here in Tasmania yesterday and was blown away by it. It will definitely end up in your future top 5.
I like Frisco bike park in Frisco Colorado because it has some sweet slope style features, dirt jumps, and a sick skatepark
Believe it or not the east coast USA has some really great parks, alot different than uk or west coast, much more technical and tight, and the steepest stuff you've ever seen, Killington, Highland, Burke mountain, Sugarbush all insane
I think I would put Silver Star in Vernon, BC up there. It's the second best bike park in Canada after Whistler. Big, variety of trails (tech and jump) plus access to pedal network.
My favourite bikepark is bikepark leogang because it's my local park and the trails are so sick
FREESKIER AND DOWNHILLER for life I went there on holiday

I might go there this summer. Is it mostly for downhill or are there good AM-trails around as well? Might be bringing my roadbike as well, do you know if there any nice spots for that, what's the traffic like?
Trestle Winter Park, CO
Favourite I've been to is Mt Baldy, Atherton Tablelands, Australia. It has so many trails for everyone with some great views
Highland MTB park in New Hampshire!
highland mountain bike park, Nicholie Rogatkin ultimate training camp
You should head to the maydena bike park here in Tasmania it just opened up
My favourite bike park is Bali Bike Park in Bali, it has heaps of short downhill runs.
derby in tassie
It’s not particularly a bike park but the whole les gets/ morzine area is incredible
Angel Fire in the USA. The first park I ever went to, always a blast.
I went to Rays indoor MTB a couple of years ago and had a fantastic time there. I’ve never ridden anything like it Great bunch of guys! We need one in the U.K. !!!!

My Favorit bikepark:
Berfelden in Germany
Why:it isn't the biggest one in the Word infact it's really small but because of it's sise you can go on on every trail in under 2houres. Also there are only Flow trails and they are getting msintenanced every weekend. Only negativ point is that there are no really big jumps the biggest jump is about 6m far but with a bit of creativity you can finde some 10m transferes 😂👌
freerider_jgr erster Kommentar den ich lese ist Beerfelden, so muss das 😂🤘🏽
I live an hour and a half away from beerfelden but I still prefer to take the extra 30min drive to winterberg, much better bikepark imo, so sick
Anton Paris Winterberg is sik and you have big jumps and much more runs and stuff but i love Flow trails and sometimes i just feel like doing some chilled out runs and don't get this scary seconds when you decide to Hit something really big
😂
freerider_jgr Winterberg has a few, the fourcross, flow country, continental trail, the freerider trail and maybe even the North shore
What really big jumps are in Winterberg? I think there are no jumps that are much bigger then in beerfeldeb
Maydena bike park in Tasmania, think derby from the EWS, after skulling a couple of red bulls and ya have Maydena
I live in Rotorua! The trails are awesome
Chatel bikepark
Blue Derby!!
BikePark Hürtgenwald! Kinda small but, awesome Trails and very cool People!
I'd put Spirit Mountain in Duluth, Minnesota on the list. Great trails with lift service. Close to town for post ride munchies and beautiful views as well. Honorable mention goes to Detroit Mountain in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Small mountain but tons of fun. Plus it's minutes from my house.
I love Ray's

If you're coming to Rotorua, you must also visit Whakarewarewa/Redwoods too. For a Brit who's moved to NZ, there's no better. Meet for a beer too; miss the British banter and love the website
Redwoods Rotorua New Zealand is my favourite place to ride it's got everything from flow tracks to steep downhill to massive jump lines and technical singletrack and something like 200km of tracks total (I might be wrong on that last bit but it's amazing)
If you ever do get to Rotorua, you need to go the Redwoods/Whakarewarewa forest.
Whilst there is little in the way of shuttles to get up the hills, the single track riding is awesome!
Trestle bike park in Colorado! They are the largest in the US, I believe, and have some of the best lift accessed trails anywhere
leogang in austria. big amount of different trails and great views
Afan bike park is sick aswell even thought it’s not the biggest and best place but it’s a great place to practice and progress also it’s got lots of different trails and you can find lots of good trails from the park
My favourite trail is sixtapod at bpw because it flows and has a red run off of it when is just drops and it's really fun
Good video and Hallo from Greece
Bikepark Beerfelden (2h by train from where I live, it's super rad), Bikepark Großer Feldberg; now this one is still under construction but it has three official trails ready to ride and the best thing? It's free. And the area, the Taunus Mountains in Germany, they're full of amazing single-track and some amazing, bikepark like but veeerryy challenging trails. Come and visit, you'll love it!!
I knew rays would make the list! Great place to ride. #TheLand
Amazing video.
My personal fave is Killington, but it closes in the winter for skiing.
A couple of my friends and I are heading out to Ray's bike park tomorrow because of this video
Hope they love it Nate!
Showing sequences of Dodzy Skillspark in Rotorua and saying it is Skyline? Honestly? One Ale too much? 😉😂
Chris Longliveenduro ikr
Those gaps r fun tho
Blue Derby!?!?
Yeah Martin totally agree best trail I've ever ridden (Terry's belly)
sick video you should definitely come and ride tidworth freeride in the summer its sick!!!
Sick video, please do top five bike parks in UK
Only ever been to llandegla & Cannock lol, most of my trails are natural, love the Peak District too 😁
Skyline queenstown and rotorua
My favourite bike park is chicksands bike park because it has so many different tracks e.g. 4X, duel slalom and many more dh tracks
Rostrevoiur in Co. Down is an amazing bike park Everything from jump park to downhill tracks and natural tracks 19km red loop that will test the fittest
Marc Darr Agreed, red loop is great, but the climb to the top is hard work
I've seen Louisville Mega Cavern Bike Park in Phil Kmetz videos, I think that is unreal place for riding!
Snow summit, California
!!
Snow Summit has a very special place in my heart as it was the first place I ever rode in the mountains, back around 2010 on a family holiday all the way from the UK. This was in the days before the proper park was built when you were only allowed to take bikes on the chair with less than 100mm of travel.

I still consider the very windy section of skyline with the small berms just after you pass the big rocks on the right to be some of the best single track in the world.
Revolution fastest uplift av been on/ mad tracks something to suite most riders and mean burgers 👊🏻
My Buller and falls creek
Love love love Rays indoor mtb
Great Martyn 👍🏼
Maydena?
How lucky I am to be near one of these!
one of my favourites is Bikepark Maribor :)
Im a local to Windhill b1kepark and its flippin amazing🤘
Highland MTB Park is #1
Hey Martin, when you come to ride Skyline allow another couple of days so you can properly check out the Redwoods tracks across town.
It,s not really a bike park, but you guys need to come ride Jonkershoek near Cape Town, South Africa, Amazing place.
Blue derby tas and maydena tas are amazing
So sad, we had a Ray's in wisconsin 30 min from where I live and it got shut down because the renters jacked the price once they found out trek sponsored it. Now all we've got is a little bike park run by volunteers.
My favourite bike park is Åre in sweden especially during the Åre Bike Festival
Check out "Bernex vtt" in the French alps or "Châtel vtt" also in the French alps
I wish rays in Milwaukee was still open :(
TheWaldowski i drove there once a year for 5 years from my home in Indiana. I’m pretty bummed they closed too.
Hafjell, Queenstown, Châtel, Whistler, Schladming
Would be great to have insights into the best lift access Trail rides, like in Verbier for those who prefer more natural trails
Craters of the Moon in Taupo, New Zealand. 😁
CHLYBN Nice 👍 part of the world 🌎 their Bro .
If you're going to Rotorua you need to go to Whakarewarewa Forest. It's much bigger than Skyline and I reckon it's much better.
Revolution Bike Park... because it's SICK
