The Mountain Air Bike Skills Course, originally opened in 2008, has been redeveloped with new features to become a first-class local destination for our biking community. The upgraded skills course is located in the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area along the Barnet Highway at the north end of the mountain, and provides a family-friendly environment suitable for multiple biking styles that is accessible to all levels of riders. The new course features more durable materials to improve maintenance and longevity of the flow trails, jump lines and pump track.
The redeveloped facility includes:
a brand new BMX jump section with berms and jumps returning through a gradual loop
a flow trail section with 2 lines of progression that provide an extended riding experience for beginner, intermediate and advanced riders
a flow trail section incorporating features like berms, rollers, jumps, and drops for riders to practice skills to progress to more advanced stages as they develop their abilities
a pump track area where berms and rollers allow riders to flow with momentum
social and gathering spaces that allow riders to rest and learn from others through observation. These areas also enable spectators and families to safely watch the action, spend time together, get that perfect camera shot and cheer on riders. A maintenance station is included to keep bikes in optimal condition during their time at the course.
What's happening now
The new course opened to the public on September 3, 2026.
