Hinton Bike Park - Refreshed!

In the early evening of Friday, August 1st - Jay Hoots and his wonderful hard-working crew were packing up after a full & dedicated week at reshaping the park's Skills Area, (mini) Pump Track and Dirt Jumps.   Their love for our park can be seen in the great work they've done.  Big thanks are also shouted out to all the volunteers that came out to give a hand!!

The Happy Creek Bike Park was also given some TLC and has surely seen lots of action since!

A BIG THANK YOU to all the Hinton Mountain Bike Association's sponsors!!!

• Mark Deagle Log Home Builders;
• Hinton Home Hardware;
• The Cat Rental Store;
• Wolverine Integrated Resource Management (Terry Dodge);

Make sure to explore the park in the next few weeks and get ready to participate in the upcoming 5th Annual Beaver Bike Fest on August 23 & 24th!  

Hinton Bike Park Rejuvenation Almost Complete!

The Hinton Bike Park rejuvenation (Skills Area and Dirt Jumps) by Jay Hoots, his crew and many dedicated volunteers is nearing completion!  I would describe all the rad changes and additions, but fear I wouldn't do it justice... which means you should plan to visit the park in the very near future and check it out for yourselves!
