Making biking awesome in Hinton
Interested in supporting biking in Hinton, getting involved, or have some feedback to share?
Our History
The Hinton Mountain Bike Association (HMBA) was formed by a few buddies that saw a need to improve mountain biking in Hinton. HMBA became a registered society in Alberta on February 22, 2007. Since our establishment, we have grown our membership to 350+ bikers! In addition, we are proud to have fulfilled several key goals:
Established weekly club rides.
Revived and repaired several popular local trails.
Established our website as a forum for mountain bikers.
Designed official maps in 2008, formalizing trails with trail markers and maps for safe navigation.
Built the region’s first Mountain Bike Park - Phase 1 completed on September 27th, 2008, Phase 2 completed on June 14th, 2009!
Achieved charitable status in January 2009.
Awarded the Hinton & District Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Award in 2013.
Built ‘Lower Flowmaster’ - our Bike Park’s first flow-style trail - in 2013.
Major investments made into our ‘Bighorn Network’ to open more local flow trails and elevation around 2020.
Completed ‘Flowmaster’ with a more advanced upper extension around 2021.
Built ‘Trans Mountain Sender’ in Fall of 2021 to offer an advanced ‘double-black’ jump line within our Bike Park.
Construction on ‘Lava Chicken’ - a youth flow trail - began in Fall 2025.
Revived the local legacy ‘Jack’s Network’ in 2026 (following nearby industrial disruptions)
