THE LOW DOWN - Wind Hill is the second newest addition to the B1KEPARK network. Previously known as 'The Allotment' and more recently as 'The Black Canon Trails', the site has been enjoyed over the years by many riders. Our aim has been to develop the site to reach its full riding potential. As well as reinvigorating some old established lines and extending them, we have also added a whole array o
f new stuff as well. A park that provides a 'progression pathway' so that riders with a range of abilities and from a range of disciplines will find terrain to suit both their current ability and riding aspirations. What have we done? The trails are graded using the recognised 'Lozenge' grading system and there will be a good mix of 1, 2 & 3 Lozenge trails. Features range from small to extreme. As well as reworking and extending existing trails to utilise the space available, we have also created some new lines
Top to bottom trails - All of our trails run from top to bottom. Starting on the start ramp at the top of the park there are a total of 10 tracks to choose from starting with the blue run and progressing up to the blacks. The Pro Line - probably one of the most renowned tracks in the country, Vi**ra Falls offers a big hitting line for only the most confident of riders. Featuring a wooden on-off, multiple doubles, huge step-downs and of course the infamous ladder drop! This track is not for beginners, advanced riders only! Chris Smith has designed features aimed at pushing the boundaries of expert riders. Something for the pro/expert riders out there to enjoy and for us mere mortals to aspire to / dream about. The Downhill trails - there are Four downhill trails to choose from. The aim has been to retain the natural technicality of the trails whilst ensuring they hold up to both the weather and the increased usage. Roots and natural features throughout and we have added some additional length to all. All of our downhill trails offer at least a full minute of pure gnar. Whether you are a racer in training or a trail rider looking to develop your skills there will be trails for you. Flow trails - Although we all aspire to hit the big stuff, until we are ready everyone (even the very best riders) enjoy a flowing, feature packed (yet rollable) trail. Two of the three flow lines are the longest trails on the hill offering tables, rollers, doubles and drops. Trails that can be ridden by a wide range of riders to progress and improve their abilities. The Step Up - We have a standalone step up jump in the park as well, this is perfect for practicing riding bigger and steeper take offs as riders progress towards the big jump lines. The Step Up is also a fantastic place for learning new tricks. Who can ride there? Anyone who joins the B1KEPARK network. you must be a member to ride the B1ke Network of parks.
