MARC Bike Park - We want your feedback!

Submitted by nimzie on Friday, September 16 2011 at 12:50pm

The attached image is a concept drawing for the proposed new Jump Park at the MARC facility in Dayspring, Nova Scotia. A legacy park was bulldozed in favor of some new design with future phasing in mind. The faded items show future expansion.

Please click the image on the right to see a larger version of the park concept design.

We are soliciting feedback from users. Click this link to send us feedback on the park.

You feedback link isn't working :)

The DJ design is hardly different from what it was previously which is lame. Although doubles are great, more tabletops might be nice from a maintenance/water drainage perspective. A step-up and step-down would be a great addition.

I like the duel track. It's good that there are plans for racing too. Dirt jumps are fun, but racing is an options that involves the parents too, which is important for long term success. I raced bmx when I was in elementary, I'm 28 now and still ride! Racing's where it all started for me.

No pump track? ;)
I don't know if many people ride them, but I'm trying to make converts. :)
A lot of beginners find jumping intimidating, but if you start them out on a pump track, where they don't have to leave the groung, maybe they'll progress through to jumping?
