My little Bikepark

Build your own bike park on a real mountain: build trails, place a lift, keep your guests happy.

Now available as a test version on TestFlight. Not in the App Store yet, but you can already play, on iPhone and iPad with iOS 15 or later.

Get the test version

How it works: first install Apple’s free TestFlight app, then tap “Get the test version” on your iPhone or iPad. Places are limited. If TestFlight doesn’t work for you, write to app@bockelbrink.net.

The game

You build a bike park on the Ettelsberg in Germany's Sauerland. The mountain is real: the terrain comes from official elevation data. Every trail follows the slope. The game works out whether it is too steep, whether you can reach it from the lift and how much earth has to be moved.

Trails

Four difficulty grades, from green for families to black for experts.
Let the mountain suggest lines (economical, scenic or balanced). Green and blue trails find their own switchbacks down the slope.
Or build piece by piece: straights, curves, switchbacks, plus kickers, drops, gaps and wooden boardwalks.
Bridges and tunnels where trails cross.

Facilities

A lift with valley and top station, a car park with a parking deck, rental, restaurant and workshop.
A practice area with a pump track and a training lift for kids and beginners.
Every facility can be upgraded in three stages. Down in the valley it reaches more guests than up on the mountain.

Business

A season lasts 28 weeks, with school holidays, public holidays, a bike festival and a race weekend.
You set the prices for adults and kids. Charge too much and guests stay away.
Your own event days: kids' day, test weekend or a race.
Trails wear out. You choose how thoroughly they are cared for; a run-down trail can be closed and renewed.
A short report every week on what went well and what didn't, plus tips when something is stuck.

Progress

No end, no time pressure: build as long as you like.
14 badges in bronze, silver and gold, from the first lift to the million season.
A Game Center leaderboard: who had the most guests in one season?
Up to three parks, saved on your device and in your iCloud.

A red trail from the heath down to the old beech wood — A trail from the heath on the summit down into the forest.

A restaurant with two extensions on the slope — Upgrade the restaurant and it grows wider.

A car park with a parking deck on an embankment, with a ramp — On a slope the car park sits on an embankment, with a deck and a ramp.

The info panel of a restaurant with price and upgrade — Every facility has its own panel: load, result, price and upgrade.

In the game: Your saved parks are stored on your device and, if you use iCloud, in your own iCloud account. Apple handles the sync through your Apple account, I have no access to it. The game sends me no data, shows no ads and contains no analytics and no tracking.

Game Center: If you are signed in to Game Center on your iPhone, the game reports your best season (the number of guests) to Apple's leaderboard. There it is shown under your Game Center name and is visible to other players. This runs through Apple and your Apple account; I receive no data from you. Without sign-in the game reports nothing. You can sign out in your iPhone's settings under “Game Center”. Apple's privacy policy applies.

On this page: no cookies, no content from third-party servers, no access logs. When you open the page, your browser sends technically necessary information such as your IP address to the server. It is only used to deliver the page and is not stored. The server is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany.

Registering an iPhone for test versions (/geraet): if you would like a test version, you can register your iPhone there. Stored are the name you type, the device identifier (UDID), the model and the iOS version, nothing else, not even an IP address. I use this only to add the iPhone to Apple's list for the test version, which means passing the device identifier to Apple. I delete the data when the test phase is over or when you ask. Anyone under 16 needs a parent's consent. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time by email.
