The mountain biking section
What is the mountain biking section?
The Bike Park operations at Ruosniemi Town Hill Center are run by the mountain biking section operating under Porin Slalomseura ry. This activity is non-profit association work, meaning that the organization behind the Bike Park is not a profit-seeking business. All income generated from the operations is used for building, maintaining, and developing the Bike Park. The Bike Park is run almost entirely on a volunteer basis, driven by enthusiasts who contribute their time outside of work, family, and other life commitments.
Out of love for the sport. From one enthusiast to another.
How to join?
Anyone aged 10 or older can join the mountain biking section (those under 18 require parental consent). You can become a member by sending an email to info@ruosniemibikepark.fi Send a message with the subject “Mountain Biking Section Membership” and include your name and contact information* (phone number, email, and hometown are sufficient). You will receive a reply with instructions on how to join.
The membership fee for the 2026 season is €50**.
Note: Membership in the mountain biking section does not come with any obligations!

What benefits do we get from members?
- Memberships help us grow the community and foster a sense of togetherness in the sport.
- The number of members provides a foundation for the credibility of the sport and its activities. A larger membership brings greater "signatory strength" when proposing new ideas to the city or companies, or when applying for grants and funding for activities.
- A large membership base ensures the continuity of Bike Park operations and the hobby.
- Memberships serve as a form of fundraising to cover the costs of maintaining activities. The funds are always used in full for the upkeep and development of the operations.
