Every rider knows the feeling. You finally land the line you’ve been working on all season, and nobody got it on camera. Your friend was riding too. The phone was in your pocket. The moment is gone.
Hightag fixes that. Its cameras are installed at bike parks and trails, and they film automatically while you ride. No friend on the sidelines, no camera on a stick. Your clips go straight to your Hightag account, ready to watch, download and share.
How it works
Riders get the Hightag app, pick up a day pass or a membership, and ride. The cameras do the rest. One payment covers everything you capture, so there’s no paying to unlock each video, and the clips are yours to keep.
A day pass or membership works anywhere Hightag cameras are installed. Today that includes Thunder Mountain Bike Park in Charlemont, Massachusetts and OZ Trails Bike Park in Bella Vista, Arkansas, with Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Wyoming returning in summer 2027.
Why we backed them
We look for three things in a startup: a team with real expertise, a large opportunity and something that sets them apart. Hightag has all three.
- A product people feel right away. The first time you watch yourself land a jump you didn’t know was being filmed, you get it.
- A big, growing market. Riders, skiers and boarders want to see and share their best moments, and parks want reasons for them to come back.
- An edge you can’t copy with an app. Hightag’s cameras live on the trails themselves, park by park.
The Forge invested, and we’ve stayed in the room since: advice when it’s useful, introductions when they help, and encouragement on the hard days. That’s how we work with every company we back.
“The Forge has provided advice, connections, encouragement and funding to help Hightag continue our climb in the action sports arena. They truly care and it shows. Let’s keep building!”Alex de la Fuente, Co-founder & CEO, Hightag
