About

Are you jealous of the bike opportunities kids have that never existed when you were growing up? Have you always wanted a chance to progress your skills through programs similar to the ones you put your kids through? Well we can’t go back in time to hash it out with 1990’s engineers making a case that 70 degree head angles and 26 inch wheels were a bad idea, nor can we go back and make bike parks with beautiful flow trails. What we can do is create a program that allows you to be just as cool as your kids in 2025! Or at least try…

Join us this season for Adult Devo. The program will run parallel to the kids program and follow the same format. Groups will form based on ability and speed. For five consecutive Sundays ride with the same instructors and peers, learning techniques and strategies that will help you enjoy the bike park. The program is open to all adults, not just Devo parents.

Participants must know how to ride a mountain bike prior to joining the Devo program and be comfortable riding a green trail such as Sugar Line.

Lift tickets are required to participate and are not included with this program. Participants are eligible for half off a Bike Park season pass. Call to book.
