TRAIL TYPES

  • Dirt jumps are specially designed features in mountain bike parks, featuring a range of jump sizes & landings. They are crafted to cater to different skill levels, offering a controlled & safe environment for riders to practice jumps, aerial maneuvers, & tricks.

  • Pump tracks form the core of many bike parks, attracting both kids & adults. Built on flat, open terrain, they are perfect for honing & enhancing mountain biking skills. With varying heights of rollers & berms, these tracks enable skilled riders to navigate without pedalling. The best pump tracks offer progression with jumpable roller sections & transfer options, creating endless challenges & in a compact space.

  • Descending, winding, single-track trails are designed with smooth berms & rollers for a continuous, effortless, roller coaster-like experience. Great for both new & experienced riders to build confidence & experience the thrill of mountain biking.

  • Similar to flow trails, but with bigger, more varied jump features, offering more airtime and a higher adrenaline rush for experienced riders. These can be tailored for Beginner to Upper Intermediate riders, or Intermediate to Advanced riders with reduced risk features that can be ridden either wheels completely on the ground or chosen to be jumped.

  • Descending trails with challenging features like jumps, drops, & rock gardens, designed to maximise the downhill adrenaline rush through trail diversity. What makes a trail fun is different for each rider, it comes from matching the riders skill level to the correct challenge. At Keystone we tailor our trails to various rider difficulty levels from beginner to advanced & make sure we have a large & safe overlap window without forced risk. Gravity trails are often grouped together around a focusedstart and end trail node. These focused trails nodes allow riders to choose trails to ride & finish at the same point as their friends who chose a different trail to ride.

  • Cross-country XC scenic, often scenic, natural surface, single-track trails provide diverse riding experiences. Typically have fewer technical features compared to gravity trails. They can still be quite physically demanding & have optional technical elements on advanced trails often providing a time advantage if the trail is being timed/raced. Beginner XC trails offerings are less steep with smaller optional technical features, perfect for all skill levels to explore the outdoors & get a good workout.

  • Designed practice areas with obstacles like rock gardens, skinnies (narrow bridges), and other features to develop specific riding techniques in a safe environment.

  • Multi-use trails designed for mountain biking that also highlight the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Great for riders who want to enjoy the scenery along with the ride.

  • Shared-use trails designed specifically for walkers and hikers.

  • Off-road trails designed for utility vehicles, DH trails, XCO, XCC Race tracks etc.
