JACKSON, Wyo. (BRAIN) — MTBparks.com has opened its online reader survey that will determine the winners of the site's 4th Annual Best Bike Parks Riders' Choice Awards.
The results will identify the top lift-served mountain-bike parks in eight North American regions: Western Canada, Eastern Canada, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic/Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, Northwest and Rocky Mountains.
In prior years more than 3,000 riders have taken the survey. The survey asks riders to rate bike parks they've visited in more than 20 categories. New for 2017, the survey will also acknowledge the best Shuttle Accessed Downhill Mountain Bike Parks.
"The bike park industry just keeps growing," said founder Michelle Good. "Traditionally downhill bike parks have relied on chairlifts and ski resort infrastructures in the summer months, but we're seeing an increasing number of bike-specific parks cropping up across the continent, many shuttling riders to the top. They deserve to be acknowledged too."
The survey is available online at BestBikeParks.com through April 5. Results and prizes will be announced no later than April 30. Last year's results also are on the site.
