New membership platform revolutionizes access to trail centers and bike parks with exclusive discounts and community power. Bringing riders and trail parks closer together is the core goal of Riders’ Pass.
A fundamental requirement for this, besides a vibrant and active community, is the affordability of tickets. Developed by three established bikers in the scene, Riders’ Pass promises to make the trail park experience affordable and widely accessible for everyone.

Behind Riders’ Pass are the two freestyle MTB pros Daniel and Elias Ruso, as well as former EDR rider Peter Mihalkovits. Their vision stems from a deep connection to the sport and a clear identification of the needs of the scene. “We didn’t design Riders’ Pass at a desk, but rather in discussions with many other riders, on the trails of this country. Our goal is clear: Regular trail park visits should be affordable for the community,” the three founders agree.
As an active community, Riders’ Pass connects mountain bikers with a carefully selected network of partner bike parks and trail centers. As a central pillar of the offering, users receive access to exclusive discounts on day passes at the respective parks, with each Riders’ Pass membership being valid for the entire year of 2026. As a user, you can freely choose when and where you want to ride:
- For parks without a lift: 1 x 100% discount and 4 x 50% discount on day passes // per park
- For parks with a lift: 1 x 50% discount and 4 x 20% discount on day passes // per park
These discount codes are generated directly via the Riders’ Pass web app and can be redeemed at partner parks within 24 hours of creation. The validity period of the codes may be limited to specific days of the week or time periods for individual parks to better manage trail park capacity.
In addition to discounted access to trail parks, numerous other features await users – because Riders’ Pass is more than just a discount platform. The offering ranges from exclusive promotions with partner brands and unique events and live activations with the community to a motivating points and ranking system that rewards users for active park and event visits. It is this combination and diversity that transforms individual users into a vibrant community and is intended to give mountain biking a significant boost.
Furthermore, the platform also serves as a tool for partner bike parks to optimize capacity utilization—especially during off-peak hours—and attract new customers.
We are creating a win-win situation. Riders save money and discover new parks, while our partner bike parks can specifically reach new customers and optimize their capacity utilization. All of this is supported by an authentic community and joint events. The quality of the trails and the sustainability of the sport are our top priorities.
