Dirt Jump Field

Over the last 6 years the Dirt Jump Field at the 417 Bike Park has evolved into a progressive set of trails from beginner table lines to big pro line doubles making dirt jumping accessible for all.

Dual Slalom

A set of two identical tracks running side by side and about the most fun you can have with friends on bikes! Brush up on fast cornering skills on your own or race friends in a two way battle for bragging rights. Look out for small summer race jams at the 417 bike park if you want to see how you fair against other riders. The track is usually closed in winter to avoid water damage to the track but is open in summer, weather permitting.

4X Track

Our 4X track was built in 2016, with a big update completed in Summer 2017 and more tweaks every year since ! Roughly 45 seconds long, and consisting of jumps, rollers, tables and step downs, the track is rollable if you are new to 4X or ready for you to hit it flat out. The track is normally closed in the winter months unless we have had a dry spell but is open all summer, weather permitting

Indoor Pump Track

Our indoor pump track is perfect for practising the basics of gravity-fed riding and is a exellent starting point for most riders here at the 417 Bikepark. Built and designed in collaboration with the world leader in asphalt pump tracks; Velosolutions.

The track is designed to provide the option for more challenges with increased speed and skill, without needing to change the physical construction. The same feature that a 5-year-old can roll through can be used as a gap jump for a professional.
