International and Olympic standard mountain biking and BMX course

Adventure Areas

Wheel Sports

The wheeled sports arena and surf centre will be closely linked as they will appeal to people with similar passions and lifestyle aspirations.  They will be created around a fully themed bar with music, videos, live world competition link-ups and everything board sports enthusiasts and streetwise youth culture demands.

Skater

Skate Park

The skate park will be a haven for boarders, inline skaters and BMX riders with challenging ramps, jumps, rails, pipes and grinding edges.  This state-of-the-art facility, part in and part outdoors, will also be capable of hosting national and international level competitions. It will have three zones. The ‘street plaza’ will have benches, steps, kerbs, ledges, rails and granite blocks of various sizes.  This will lead into the ‘central section’, which will provide a more ‘traditional’ skate park terrain including pyramids, fun-boxes, ramps and half pipes. Finally, there will be a ‘split level’ area with kidney bowls of differing size and depth.  Each section will merge into the next, allowing skaters and riders to take a line from one end of the park to the other without stopping. At over 6,000m2 and designed by the world’s leading skate park creators, the Venture Xtreme Skate Park will be one of the biggest and best in Europe.

Mountain Bike Park

Mountain Biker

Where the site is capable of accommodating such facilities, Venture Xtreme will deliver the ultimate off-road biking experience with thrills, spills, mud and water for enthusiasts and serious competition. A series of graded off-road routes will lead away from the centre out into the wilder areas of the site.  Specialist graded cross-country routes, enduro and trail quest courses will be constructed.

For the ultimate thrill Venture Xtreme will host Europe’s first and wildest indoor North Shore course giving unbelievable riding over seriously technical terrain.  North Shore requires riders to traverse an area on a route of logs, duckboards, wooden ramps and similar. Jumps, drops and other barriers are also evident with ‘chicken runs’ being provided for those unsure of the challenge ahead or preferring to take an easier route around an obstacle.

BMX Competition Track

On each site, as space permits, Venture Xtreme will incorporate Olympic standard BMX race tracks to encourage the sport at the highest level and provide much needed training and practice facilities.
