The mtb:scale:imba=* rating does address trail difficulty, but there are on occasion trails that have specific features that are not technical for typical mountain biker but are for adaptive. This tag simply serves to indicate one or more such adaptive specific technical features exist.
As always best practice for safety is to pre-ride, re-ride, and free-ride. This tag emphasizes the need for the first two of these.
Examples
Some examples of what can get a mtb:scale:amtb:technical=yes rating:
- small radius wall ride
- narrow bridge
- sharp turn with limited room to get speed for
- drop that might present an opportunity for a front-wheel drive adaptive bike
- enough off-camber tilt that getting the speed right is hard to dial in
How to use
| Tag / Category | Description |
|---|---|
| mtb:scale:amtb:technical=yes | When paired with mtb:scale:amtb=* this indicates the trail has unavoidable technical challenges specific to an adaptive rider that skill and practice might be needed |
| mtb:scale:amtb:technical=no or absent | When paired with mtb:scale:amtb=* basically the traditional and adaptive rider challenges are the same. |
Note: Almost all of these are things that can present challenges specific to adaptive riders. Where a narrow tree gate with no ride around might instead get a mtb:scale:amtb=no rating instead of a mtb:scale:amtb:technical=yes.
