The Track
- The track is large and progressive, with jumps ranging from small and mellow doubles, step-ups and rollers up to full trails, plus big berms and a tarmac start hill.
- The backset, the track's most iconic set of jumps, is steep and progressive: rollable by beginners and boosted by experienced riders.
- An inner pump track sits at the centre of the main circuit, with tight rollers and berms suited to everything from balance bikes to seasoned racers.
- Scooters, skateboards, unaccompanied children and dogs are not permitted on the track, to protect the surface.
Local Organisation
- The track is run entirely by volunteers under The Sheffield Dirt Society, with support from Ride Sheffield and Bike Track.
- The Sheffield Dirt Society runs an annual Helltrack event, a BMX jam with music that raises funds for resurfacing and gets riders of all abilities out on the track together.
- In 2024, "40 Years of Bolehills," a documentary telling the story of the track from its 1983 origins to the present day, screened at the Sheffield Adventure Film Festival (ShAFF).
