Bouncy castle 2.0: construction apprentices renovate Steffisburg dirt park
The examples in Lötschental are not the only ones that show how trail construction and renovation projects can be realized with construction companies: apprentices from the construction company Frutiger AG took up the shovels for the complete renovation of the well-known Dirtpark Steffisburg. Supported by the trail construction company Flying Metal from Thun, the bike park was reopened under the name "Frutiger Sunnefäld Jumps" at the end of October after a construction period of around two months.
From fair weather operation to all-weather offersThe result is a modern bike park with several lines: the asphalt jumpline includes larger, asphalted table jumps. The hard surface not only reduces maintenance, but also enables use in wet conditions.
The beginners' line can also be used in all weathers. It consists of smaller jumps and also leads back to the start of the large jumpline. An asphalted mini pump track complements the adjacent skate park, is built for the youngest bike fans and can even be ridden on kick bikes.Advanced riders will have fun on the "Hip Dirtjump Line". This jump line is made of earth material and is also suitable for competitions. However, it can only be used in dry conditions.The big innovation for the region is the installation of an airbag landing. The airbag line has two jumps of different sizes. One is identical to the first jump on the Hip Dirtjump Line, where tricks can be practiced first on the airbag and then directly on dirt. The smaller jump offers beginners the opportunity to try out jumping or their first tricks in a safe environment.The airbag landing is always switched on in the presence of a member of the sponsoring association. Entry to the new Frutiger Sunnefäld Jumps is free of charge. Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the infrastructure is encouraged to become a patron of the Bikepark Thunersee association.
