BIKE PARK SAFETY
With hazards existing on the trails, be cautious and use common sense.
- Wear protective gear and clothing – helmets are required.
- Ride with a partner and pick trails that suit your ability level.
- Follow trail etiquette rules: Uphill traffic has the right of way on two-way trails and on downhill trails, the rider in front has the right of way.
- Be aware of the high altitude environment – the sun is more intense and your body fatigues faster. Stay hydrated and keep an eye on changes in weather, including thunderstorms.
- Know and follow the Mountain Biker's Responsibility Code – it is your responsibility.

The trails at Mammoth Bike Park are rough and demanding on both the bike and the body. Before riding always inspect your equipment or have it checked by a qualified bike mechanic.
- Helmets are required for all mountain bike trails. Before heading out make sure yours fits correctly and is not damaged.
- Assess safety pads for fit and any damage. Make sure you are wearing the appropriate pads for you skill level and that coincide with the difficulty of the trails you're looking to ride.
- Inspect bike frame for cracks, damaged or dented areas.
- Ensure you have sufficient brake pads to stop your bike while descending.
