The best way to remember this is with the graphic below. A PRE, RE, and FREE-RIDE mentaility should be used by riders of all ages and skill levels. Wake up the brain and body. Inspect the trail at low speed. Lap the trail a few times to get the flow of the features. Start small and work your way up to faster speeds and larger features. UNDERSTANDING BIKE PARK SIGNAGE All routes within the Bike Park are designated by colour-coded trail markers at the start of each descent.

Work your way up to more advanced trails and features based on your progression, skill and comfort level. Here are examples of some of the signage you might encounter. Jump take off More difficult jump take off Freeride trails are machine-cut and contain man-made features. Routes are enhanced with dirt jumps, ride-on features, gaps, narrow surfaces, wallrides, berms and other natural or constructed features. All freeride trails are identified with an orange oval. Technical trails are designed to embrace the rugged shape and terrain of the mountain, utilizing a majority of natural terrain. Routes are typically hand-built and feature organic obstacles and stunts such as rocks, roots, logs, drops, jumps and other natural or constructed features that require technical riding skills. Technical trails are identified by their difficulty symbol. Jumping skills may be required.
