Mountain bike infrastructure

We design and build safe, high-quality mountain bike trails that are accessible to beginners and experts alike.

Mountain bike trails

Turn your ski resort or bike park into a summertime must with our downhill mountain bike trails. We strive to make these spaces both attractive and safe, offering a memorable experience accessible to all levels, from novice to seasoned rider.

In the field, our team carries out in-depth analysis to best adapt our designs. We shape the landscape with precision, using shovels, pickaxes and, if necessary, earth-moving equipment. We also take care of adding wooden modules, such as jumps and footbridges, to enrich courses and offer a more complete experience.

And also

Slopestyle zones

We design and build slopes for slopestyle. This often spectacular discipline involves performing acrobatic tricks on a compact course ranging in length from 50 to 200 meters. Wooden and earthen modules are integrated to offer participants a variety of elements and challenges.

Pumptrack

We also build high-quality asphalt trails suitable for bikes, skates, rollerblades and scooters. Our installations, ranging from 100 to 700 meters, offer a leisure space accessible to the greatest number of people. Featuring banked turns, bumps and jumps, these loops are designed to maximize safety while offering a challenging course.

Do you have a mountain bike project in mind? Here's how we work

We design tailor-made solutions, adapted to the level of practice in your region, taking into account the landscape and ecological context of each site.

Safety and fun

We make it a point of honor to put safety and pleasure at the heart of all our creations. Our expertise: designing spaces where the reliability of the infrastructure and the courses allow you to experience great moments and discover new horizons in complete safety.

Respect for the environment

Understanding and respecting the specificities of each region, bikepark and locality is at the heart of our approach. By taking into account the topological and ecological particularities of each site, Blackorn is committed to the sustainable development of our sport.

Collaboration

The success of our projects depends on close and constant dialogue with local players. Above all, it's a solid partnership between project managers and contractors, as well as local social and administrative organizations.

Preliminary studies

  • Precise assessment of the needs and levels of target users

  • Field visit

  • Topological study, soil type, PLU, environmental constraints, nesting

  • GPS field survey

Design

  • Design of layout and possible modules

  • Presentation of the project through 3D visualizations and models

  • Project validation (exact layout, construction schedule, budget)

Implementation

  • Construction of the entire runway

  • Construction of wood/metal modules if required

  • Track set-up by our team Beaconing and decoration

Maintenance

  • Infrastructure inspection at T+1 year (free, systematically included)

  • Provide the customer with an expert report and advice on the maintenance and/or modification of part of the runway.

  • Proposed evolution in figures
