Maydena Collective Membership Program
Why so excited? We visited Maydena earlier in the year and what really struck us, was the size of that hill! 820 vertical metres from the town centre toflowmountainbike.com

Final Update
Its been a long time since ive been on this site..
Greenvalleys Mountain Bike Park is approved , legal and opens to the public in december 2015..
Its been a battle, financially and emotionally..
I am thankfull to everyone who has helped, those still with me and those who are not..
I have an awesome crew, and Greenvalleys will become the boutique MTB park of Australia..
I'll see you all soon shredding at GV

Well someone believes the hype...they are doing this for their benefit, their financial benefit. I don't have a problem with that either, I wish them well with their venture and that it may rain money into their pockets. But if there was no money to be made from it, they wouldn't open the park. If the market dries up, the park will close. This is not being done for the benefit of some mythical biker bro code. This is a business and we (and so are a lot of other people) are their potential customers.enough so to try and do something for the benefit of all riders
I've ridden GV it was great I had a fun time good trails, nice set up good vibe, but there is honestly no comparison to what's on offer at Maydena (yes been there too)..... just sayin...Yep,.

Just like guys who run bike shops, gotta afford those Porsche’s and rolexes somehow.Well someone believes the hype...they are doing this for their benefit, their financial benefit.

We are doing just fine! Thanks for your concern though, guys (if we are honest it’s a little cold down here, but we’ll live). We did get affected by pesky bush fires this year, which wiped out our busiest month of the year, but we still hosted over 25k uplift days and many, many other happy riders and visitors.Yep,.

Thanks for weighing in Simon.Seeing more bike parks succeed is the best thing for all of us.

This is all people are looking for from GV... a coherent, well written, informative, and grammatically correct lengthy reply.....Just to demonstrate some thorough capability and outline the plans.We are doing just fine! Thanks for your concern though, guys (if we are honest it’s a little cold down here, but we’ll live). We did get affected by pesky bush fires this year, which wiped out our busiest month of the year, but we still hosted over 25k uplift days and many, many other happy riders and visitors.
Our customer satisfaction survey showed we are averaging ~8.5 out of 10 across all metrics, so we can be better (deep down though we know some people are just hard to please). Still, we’ll only rest (a bit) when those are 10’s.
Winter is a quiet time for us, we keep our doors open as much as anything because we love our full time staff and want to do what’s best by them. We do more than enough trade through the warmer months to keep afloat and continue investing in our trails facilities- we’ve invested a further nearly $2m into our facility in the last 12 months alone. We aren’t profitable yet (and this doesn’t bother us one bit), but we aren’t losing money either- and we continue to invest in trails and facilities (we’ll have another 10-15km+ of trail in by Easter next year!).
We can’t and won’t comment on the Glenworth crews fundraising efforts or their project- that’s none of our business. We are happy to provide comment on our membership program though (since we got dragged into the conversation). Firstly, we didn’t host a crowd funding campaign- we sold lifetime memberships, and never pre sold uplift passes until much closer to our opening (we did this to allow folks to plan their holidays with us, rather than to raise development funds). These are different things- we didn’t need to raise money for our project, the memberships were used to help us build our long term customer base. We sold 600 memberships (a sell out for us), 300 premium memberships ($449) and 300 standard memberships ($249). You can do the maths. The total sales were less than 10% of the total cost of our stage 1 development (where we opened). When we launched our membership sales we sold over $150k in memberships in the first hour- which we were pretty proud of. Since launching the program we’ve had just 5 membership transfers (less than 1% of memberships sold). Was our program perfect- certainly not, but we promised our members things, and we have and will continue to deliver on those promises.
Building bike parks isn’t easy. We’ve offered to provide (free) advice to the Glenworth guys, as we did for Greenvalleys back in the day (remember, guys?). We certainly don’t know it all but we’ve learnt plenty of lessons the hard way, and are happy to share them with anyone making a go of it in the industry. Seeing more bike parks succeed is the best thing for all of us.

Nasty Recession = more riding timeOnly a Nasty Recession could hurt these parks but lucky there's no signs of one of those around!!!!
I do hope that becomes the name of a run or better yet the chair lift!short of calling everyone cum-guzzlers
