Information about the Bike Park at Beacon

The bike park is part of the larger plan for the
Beacon Hill Project

We are currently working on a couple of projects. Some of the older structures have been rebuilt using the funds we received from the KONA Freeride grant.

View Pictures of the latest work that was done at Beacon.

Pictured above: The new rebuilt 'Leap of Faith'

The Design team is currently starting the first phase of the bike park. If you are interested in being a part of this process then please let us know.

We want to especially thank Wheelsport East for helping FTTRC with map expenses related to the Beacon Project and the bike park planning process. Our corporate sponsors help us really make a difference.

IMBA's Trailbuilding School

September 15, 2007
Trail School is a huge success! We had more than 30 folks turn out for trail school, from as far as Republic and Sandpoint. Ryan and Kristin of IMBA gave a fantastic presentation about how to build great trails and bike parks, and then we headed to Camp Sekani for some hands on training in sustainable building. Thanks to our volunteers, we built 963 of singletrack in three hours! This new trail is above the sandpit, has some fun slick rock lines, and will be park of the new skills/challenge area. It was a really fun day.

Here is part of the new trail built:

Corporate Sponsorships

We have a new level of membership available for businesses. Our corporate level membership is $100/year, gives benefits to shop employees, community recognition for supporting trail advocacy, and as much free advertising as we can give you.

About Us

We are a bunch of folks who like to have fun with mountain bikes. Not all of us wear lycra - some of us like air, big bikes and baggy shorts. No one gets graded on the bike they ride, the number of crashes they suffer, or how fast (or slow) they can ride. What we have in common is a love for riding trails, a desire to make cool new trails, and a commitment to keeping trails open for biking. Whatever your style, we invite you to join our growing community.
