Tom van Steenbergen - This Is Home - BIKE BIG WHITE

What an epic project to be apart of. Tom teamed up with our crew out at Bike Big White and we built this all time roaster of a line. (Catch the Big White section in the 2nd half of the edit.) The shear scale and vertical covered in this soon to be named trail is massive.

The Ruby Hill Bike Park Pre-Opening

Alpine Bike Parks is pleased to release that the 7 acre Ruby Hill Bike Park is in the final stages of completion.

The Ruby Hill Bike Park and loop trail features a series of terrain features specifically designed to promote a progressive riding and learning experience for novice riders up through expert riders. Alpine's scope of work included building highly specialized trails and riding features, jumps, pump tracks, drop zones, and custom rock features for developing riding skills in the bike park and along the loop trail in a stunning setting in Denver, Colorado. The project has spanned throughout the last year ensuring a trend-setting world class experience.

The Hamilton Ontario Pumptrack

Are pumptracks the future playgounds? The survey at the new Hamilton, Ontario pumptrack says: YES. The response to the Gage Bike Park Pumptrack has been immensely positive and the community that surrounds the park is the reason. The ecstatic community engagement in the beginning stages helped the project get off the ground and in the end dug a little deeper to make it a reality. Its a daunting thing for 3 youths to go to to their city council and ask for a bike park. But in Hamilton's case, this is what sparked the entire project.

Bike Park Maintenance - The Valmont Bike Park

The City of Boulder employ 2 full-time gentlemen and over half a dozen seasonal bike park maintenance employees a year at the Valmont Bike Park. Dustin Zeis and crew know whats up. The crew at VBP dig, maintain, and shred the park! Valmont is a direct representation of the passion that the crew put into preserving their park. There are very few municipal bike park facilities in North America that can say they have a year round maintenance crew like this. The Valmont Bike Park is the precedent bench mark for bike parks, not just for the scale and caliber of features but for the park's maintenance program.

The Ruby Hill Bike Park - Denver Colorado

The Ruby Hill Bike Park will be the largest municipal bike park in North America. Much to the acclaim of setting the industry standard; Valmont Bike Park in neighbouring Boulder, Alpine Bike Parks was the go to bike park contractor for the Ruby Hill project in Denver, Colorado. Alpine has their heads down stacking, packing, and moving earth into what will be an all-around engaging bike park for all users. Alpine ensures overall project fulfillment and a high quality finished product.



In the winter months Ruby Hill Park is a terrain park for skis, snowboards and sleds aplenty. Ruby Hill is the first free winter terrain park in a downtown area in the USA. So it only makes sense for the City of Denver to convert winter operations into summer action sport activities. Hence, The Ruby Hill Bike Park - the park will be dressed up with all the fixings and then some.

The Oskar Blues Reeb Ranch West - Hops & Huckers Blue Groove Invitational

The Oskar Blues Reeb Ranch West Blue Groove Invitational went down on Halloween and it was the perfect occasion to ride in all the lines out at the ranch. From far and wide invites came to shred the new course and had a great time doing it. Its always interesting seeing all levels of riders try out a new spot and its safe to say that the Hops & Huckers course caters to everyone.

The Oskar Blues Reeb Ranch West Build

The Oskar Blues Reeb Ranch West design and build was an awesome project for Alpine Bike Parks. The design process started off with a visit to the site with the ABP crew and Cam McCaul in tow. Over some Dales Pale Ales it became apparent that there was a good amount of elevation to take advantage of and visionary ideas flowed down the hill all the way to the hops in the distance.

Procuring a slopestyle-esque course that incorporated an adjacent roller line was in order, as well as completing the existing flow course that trail boss Troy Mandery maintains down to the picturesque pond that sits out in the low lands of Longmount, Colorado. A few iterations of design sketches later Alpine came up with quite a line that boosts through trees, jackknifes around a curved wall, plunges into a belter of a large left hip and straightens out for two long doubles that round out a rad track that the locals will be amped on for a long time to come. An optional seasonal lake jump is in the works, rolling in from the second to last jump's landing leading to a dock that will have all the daring folks flying.

The Gage Bike Park Pumptrack

Alpine Bike Parks designed and built The Gage Bike Park Pumptrack incorporating a small beginner pumptrack and a more advanced intermediate pumptrack design. The pumptracks cater to inner city youth and illustrates what these types of projects can produce. Within the first week of the parks use, Eco-Counters tallied up 47,000 tires rolling over the pumptracks. The pumptracks are constructed of dirt and were built in 3 weeks. The pilot project will be assessed to determine the potential future implementation of other permanent pumptracks in the city of Hamilton, Ontario.

The entire process has been a positive movement and the story is a great example of what can happen when the youth dream big. Thru community involvement and a maintenance program the project is well on its way to being a benchmark for bike park curious communities to follow and use as a precedent.

The Specialized Bikescape

Alpine Bike Parks collaborated with Specialized Bicycle Components this past June to design and build The Specialized Bikescape. The surrounding bikescape infastructure incorporates cues from multiple riding disciplines and is constructed of asphalt, natural surfacing, wood, and cobblestones to tie together an awesome atmosphere at Specialized Headquarters in Morgan Hill, California.

Cam's Jam Tour - Powell River Bike & Skate Park Recap

The Cam Jam in Powell River, British Columbia was the epitome of what bikeparks are all about. Easy goodtimes, roasty lines, lots of trains, all the locals sending it, tunes, the perfect temperature and pizza. After a few hectic weeks of shaking off an appendicitis and announcing all of Crankworks, Cam McCaul made the beauty of a journey out to the Sunshine Coast to round out his stay up in BC. The skys parted for the early weekend and things were definitely jammin'.

The Powell River Bike and Skate Park is quite the sight, and is a great showcase of where action sports parks are today. Its got an old school bowl for all the die hards, a spanky new tech skatepark and what we all went out there for; the bikepark. The team at Alpine Bike Parks did a bang up job on this impressive place. Its got all the bells and whistles for all the hungry slopestyle kids out there. A fast roller double line, a tot pumptrack, an intermediate double jump line and some fast and boosty advanced lines, all done up to the 9's with the newest FlowForm Bike Ramps. Not to leave out the shining poured in place, concrete pumptrack that allows for head to head style racing with its symmetrical design that really seals the deal on Powell River being the leading bike & skate park for anyone with 2 or 4 wheels looking to get rad on the Sunshine Coast. The locals are amped, as they should be and it shows in the riding and the times that they have out there!

A huge shout out to the City of Powell River for providing the space for such a place, all the locals and non-locals who came out and made the jam a rad one, and Gravity for all the prizes. Check the park out on Trailforks!
