For release after Sunday 7th of April @ 6pm


Have you ever wondered what really goes into operating a successful bike park?

Olly Wilkins and Davi Birks of The Ride Companion took a trip to BikePark Wales to spend a day with the on-site trail crew for the first episode of Behind The Park.
On this episode Olly and Davi learn what it takes to build, maintain and manage over 42 trails, a busy uplift road and keep the growing list of machinery working. The lads take a look at the equipment they use, the daily job list, get to know the team and checkout the app that controls everything.

How impressive is the scale of this operation!? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below...

Shout out to all the trail crews for all the hard work to keep the trails running smoothly every time you visit a bike park!
