Lifestyle, Identity and Young People's Experiences of Mountain Biking
Freeride area at Bedgebury Forest Research Note Lifestyle, identity and young people’s experiences of mountain biking Katherine King December 2010 It has been widely recognised that, for young people, experiencing the natural environment may hold multiple benefits for well-being and the future development of healthy lifestyles. The Active England programme awarded funding aimed at increasing participation in sport and physical activity at Bedgebury Forest in Kent, with a particular emphasis on young people as a key target group. Mountain biking, as a popular youth sport that often occurs in woodlands, was promoted under the scheme and provides the case study upon which this Note is based. The research employed ethnographic techniques to capture youth experiences and understandings of mountain biking and to investigate the resulting relation- ships young people developed with countryside spaces. Methods included semi-structured interviews that allowed for flexibility, ‘mobile’ methods such as accompanied and unaccompanied recorded rides and participant observation. The research reveals the different riding philosophies, lifestyle values and relationships with the landscape that are formed as part of youth mountain biking lifestyles. The research shows that certain countryside spaces, especially woodlands are important for youth leisure. They afford a space away from the gaze of adults and from the conflicts associated with other (urban) leisure space, and provide opportunities to feel ownership. Bedgebury Forest offered a range of ‘ready made’ mountain biking spaces for both beginner and more experienced youth mountain bikers that participants could access without fear of reprimand. This was in sharp contrast to their experiences of other privately owned spaces. -

2009 Catalog
3URLY 4RAVELERS#HECK Like a lot of our stuff, the motivation for producing a frame suited for travel sprung from our own experiences and desires. We’ve traveled with our bikes plenty and have wanted something easier to haul around in planes, trains, and automobiles. We dig the folders but wanted a normal bike, something ready for whatever terrain is beneath the wheels. We chose our Cross Check frame for this platform because of its proven versatility. Already well-known as an excellent do-all frame, friendly with skinny tires or fat, derailleurs or Singlespeed drive trains, the Cross Check takes just about anything you throw at it and handles it like a champ, on-road or off the beaten path. If you’ve owned one you know. We changed the name and color to distinguish it from a normal Cross Check, but the Travelers Check is otherwise the same animal. Mostly. Brazed into the top- and downtubes of the Travelers Check, S&S Machine Company’s BTCs (bicycle torque couplings) are machined stainless steel pieces that allow the bike to be broken into two halves for transport or storage. S&S calls them BTCs but they’re more commonly known as S&S Couplers. Other companies have designed bikes that split in half, but S&S couplers work so well we didn’t feel the need to design anything else. With the couplers installed, each tube end fits to the other via precision-machined teeth covered by a threaded sleeve. Properly lubed and tightened, the teeth resist torque forces while the threaded sleeve holds it together securely. -

Project Background This trails concept plan provides guidance and recommendations for developing a comprehensive trail network at the Powers Bluff County Park in Wood County, 2.5 miles southwest of Arpin, Wisconsin. This trail system will capitalize on the growing demand in the Midwest region for trails that are optimized for mountain biking. It will serve the needs of all recreation users by adding upon the existing Powers Bluff Trail network with new multi-use trails and the creation of bike- optimized trails for all ages and ability levels. Master Planning for Powers Bluff County Park (PB) has been ongoing since 2003, and was revitalized when Wood County acquired 223 acres of property directly north of the existing park. Since that time, planning has been done to include a multi-use shelter building, fishing pond, ice skating rink, northern entrance road with parking lots, improvements to the existing ski/tubing infrastructure, additional trail development, and support facilities. -
City of London Pumptrack
City of London PumpTrack What is a Pump Track? They are high performance playgrounds for everything with wheels. A pump track is an endless loop of rollers, jumps and banked turns called berms where the riders propel themselves through the track by shifting their body weight, or “pumping”, in conjunction with the track contours, rather than having to pedal. It creates a fun experience where a rider can work on their handling skills while also having an excellent cardio workout. Pump tracks can be designed for different sizes and rider abilities or as a generic layout that is still usable and fun by riders from little tykes to expert mountain bike or Bmx riders. Although races can be held on a pump track to see who can do laps the fastest or how long they can continue the track without pedaling, the main purpose of a track is to provide a community gathering place where those that enjoy bicycles, scooters, In-lines skates, roller skates, can “play”. We are suggesting a paved asphalt pump track like Velosolutions have made famous all over the globe. They are the worlds biggest pump track contractor with a Canadian office in Quebec. Who would use a pump track? The short answer is anyone with a bicycle, scooter, skateboard, inline skates, roller skates or wheel chair. It doesn’t matter how young or how old, users can be 3 year old on strider bikes or riders into their 60’s or 70’s that already enjoy riding on trails/road. A pump track provides a safe environment to experience skill building, having fun, and getting exercise. -

Foreword by Mitchell Scott It just happened. The mud-washed, root-strewn forests of Vancouver’s North Shore, ridden by a rogue group of adventurers, have evolved in two short decades into one of the most sought after mountain bike destinations in the world. We didn’t plan for it. Nor could we have. But here it is. From Williams Lake to Fernie, from Kamloops to Whistler, Squamish, Rossland, Nelson, Golden, Prince George, Cumberland… the list of BC towns renowned for their mountain bike trails grows every year. Bikers come from Calgary, Washington, California, the UK, and Switzerland. -
