1. Nature of Activities. The Summit & Swinley Forest MTB Trails is a Mountain Bike Facility, which offers customers the opportunity to participate in a number of biking related activities. It is important that the participants know that these activities are active and vigorous and consequently, involve some risks of injury that are inherent to the activity.
