Top 5 Things You Need To Know Before Hitting the Park

1. Helmets are mandatory

Helmets are mandatory in the Bike Park, and full-face helmets are recommended, even if you only plan to ride the blue trails.

2. Not just any bike will do

The bike trails and jumps are most suitable for bmx bikes, dirt jump bikes and mountain bikes.

3. Stay on the trails

Riding off trails can cause damage to the park.

4. Brakes Matter

Being able to stop is important for your safety and the safety of others using the park. Make sure you have well-functioning brakes that you can rely on to stop you quickly if need be.

5. Ride Smart

Pre-Ride: Start slow, scope out every feature, every day
Re-Ride: Lap the trail a few times to get to know the flow of the features.
Free-Ride: Start small and work your way up to faster speeds and larger features.

Park Rules

  • Rules of the Trail

    The way we ride today shapes mountain bike access tomorrow. Do your part to preserve and enhance our sport’s access and image by observing the following rules of the trail, formulated by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA).

    • Riding off trails or when wet can cause damage to the park.
    • Do not modify trails or features.
    • Ride on open trails only – respect trail and road closures. Avoid trespassing on private land.
    • Leave no trace – be sensitive to the dirt beneath you. Recognize different types of soils and trail construction; practice low impact cycling. Wet and muddy trails are more vulnerable to damage. When the trail bed is soft, consider other riding options. This also means staying on existing trails and not creating new ones. Don’t cut switchbacks.
    • Control your bicycle – inattention, even briefly, can cause problems. Obey all bicycle speed regulations and recommendations.
    • Always yield the trail – let your fellow trail users know you’re coming.
  • Pedestrian and Spectator Safety

    For your safety please stay off the specialized bike trails. Do not stop in areas with poor visibility. Find a safe area to watch riders.

    Parents, please make sure your kids do not wander in front of bikes on the trails. Do not walk on terrain features. Respect the native vegetation and wildlife.

  • Signed Waiver Required to Ride

    The bike park is an unsupervised facility. All riders must complete and return the Bike Park Waiver before riding. Riders under 18 must have a guardian’s signature with their waiver submission.

    • Take time to get familiar with the trail map before riding.
    • Ride at your own risk.
    • Helmets and protective gear are required.
    • Features can be dangerous in any condition.
    • Ride only during park operating hours: dawn to dusk.

     

    Please complete the waiver online prior to riding.

Rider Safety

  • Safety Rules for Riding
    • Ride within your abilities. Progression is available throughout the park and so start small and progress upwards.
    • No Spartanburg BCycles in the park.
    • Stay on the trails.
    • Riding off trails can cause damage to the park.
    • Respect trail closures.
    • Follow all directional signage, and remember trail intersections come quickly.
    • Remain aware of other users at all times.
    • Yield to pedestrians and uphill bike traffic in the park.
    • Strive to make each pass safe and courteous.
  • Safety Gear

    Dirt jumping is inherently dangerous and may cause injury. You can minimize injuries with the proper safety gear. 

    • Helmets are required; a full face helmet is encouraged over a regular helmet and should fit snugly. 
    • Shin, knee, and elbow armor provide impact protection for high speed collisions. 
    • Body armor can save someone from broken ribs or vertebrae. 
    • Consider a neck brace.
