SEASON ONE | 2019
North American Bike Park Review Tour
THE INTRODUCTION
Summer is here and it’s time for us mountain bikers to take over the ski resorts and skid up villages around the globe! Chances are bike park season is one of your favorites too and that’s why we’ve committed to the painstaking quest of visiting as many bike parks as we can across North America this summer. We know time is short and resources are few when it comes to picking your next bike park adventure so we’re hoping to deliver some valuable recon information for your crew’s next trip. Whether that’s you and ten of your bros looking to get wild for a bachelor party, or a family looking for off-mountain activities with a little riding sprinkled in.
Although you may be expecting a full trail report, our bike park review tour is going to look way beyond the park boundaries to help give you the info you need to truly consider what park will be the best bet for your next trip. Our crew will be diving deep into the local scene at each stop. We’ll be reporting on and rating overall affordability, local restaurants and diners, nightlife, and options for lodging or camping.
We’ve been fortunate enough to get some very gracious sponsors for our trip and they’re helping us achieve this dream of reviewing bike parks for our fans. Along with helping us pay for gas and meals along they way, two of our biggest supporters have asked us to do some fun product giveaways and scavenger hunts at random stops and bike parks all summer long! Be sure to follow @rideconcepts and @ridebontrager as we’re going to be stashing Ride Concepts shoes and Bontrager tires and sending them photo clues to share on Instagram. If you want to get a jump start on the giveaways, see our detailed travel schedule and meet up with us for rides, dinner parties and more, visit our Patreon page. Along with helping support us even further, you’ll get exclusive behind the scenes access, swag you can’t find anywhere else and plenty more perks!
As always, we love getting feedback from the Pack so feel free to leave any comments, suggestions on parks you’d like to see us review or aspects of each park you’d like to see us add to the review list.
