The recreation facility which the bike park is attached to is already home to a world championship-certified pump track, a skate park, and an Olympic trampoline zone. Once riders have honed their bike handling skills at the pump track, they can then (hopefully) move up to the intermediate line.
The jumps in the medium line are all table tops with pre-fabricated lips, "so they [can] maintain their curvature and their consistency over time." In between, berms allow riders to keep their speed up, but these aren't flow trails: they're bike park jump lines. These jumps should be rollable, so riders can test the waters before sending. However, the lips are all four feet and taller... and the advanced lines only grow from there.
"Then you bump up to the large line where you have ramps of similar curvature, but they're taller with some more technical features, more hips, setup jumps, some mandatory drops, no ride arounds," said Lanman. At this point, riders are working to develop the technical ability to move their bike in the air to hit a variety of features. They'll need to learn "to pop and to squash and stuff like that.”
Finally, the pro line is filled with "mini Crankworx features. You have step downs with lips on them, wall rides. We have a cannon log that's massive with a really big, long landing." The pro line also features several slopestyle lips, which are nine feet tall with 65-degree take-off ramps leading to 12-foot-tall landings. "You could do, like, double backflips and cashrolls on these jumps. It's not a child's play ramp."
To help riders work up to hitting massive tricks on these steep jumps, Rocket Ramps built two mirror-image jumps that are identical to the final jump in the pro line. One of the practice jumps leads to a drape airbag and the other to a pile of mulch. "So if you want to learn a backflip, you can backflip to the bag, then you can backflip to the mulch, then you can backflip the dirt." The trick practice zone is located near the entrance to the park, which will be "great for spectating and [it's] right by the road. So if you get hurt, you can get carted off."
