My brother and I are longtime riders, and we're creating an MTB-themed deck of cards. We wanted the Ace cards to embrace MTB culture and feel like something riders would actually appreciate, so we're using real routes, topo lines, mileage, and climbing stats.
We'd love feedback from trail builders and fellow riders. Are there other details we could include?
What up yall, I’ve always dug trails and such but I’ve been working on one trail in particular where water has been a huge issue especially with how little rain we’ve had here in WNC… just wanted to see if yall had any recommendations on how to tote water up the hill efficiently and also use the water efficiently once it’s there.
And yes, we’ve been putting gallons in backpacks and using eebs to lug them up. Just wanted to know if there was any other tricks yall have used!
Does anyone have any tips for building a berms out of rocks as like a wall ride?
I’m back on my family farm for the year and spending spare time. (Central western NSW, Australia)
I have access to plenty of large stones/rocks with smooth faces. I flipped a few large rocks over in the section of my track I couldn’t avoid. Thought some would be cool to ride on by mud packing into the shape of a berm.
I was lazy with the tractor and dumped dry dirt full of gravelly crap behind my initial structure. I also didn’t mud pack at the start as I just dry stacked the initial stones. ADHD got the better of me and I just started stacking. I then tried to fill dirt in between the rocks afterwards but feel like it’s all crap.
I’ve started to make an outer wall with stones and mud as retaining wall to add strength & structure and a base to add some final large smooth stones.
Anyway, do you reckon it’s a waste of time and I should just whack mud all over it?
Last pic is what it looked like prior to me destroying nature.
So what is everyone's choice on this style boot? Obviously I need to walk a lot in them and on side slope and rough terrain.
This is a problem of my that is bothering me for 2 years now and i dont want to chat gpt it lr gemini. I want peopel to answer me. I cant ride every day. Cuz I am half broken rn and i have school
Dirt was dry and we needed them to pack in the catch berm we made. So how do you get them to walk in place for 6 minutes....
I have a creek crossing on my new trail build and I want to make a bridge either with store bought lumber, materials found in the woods, or anything really. If anyone has pictures of their bridges that they’ve built please comment them so I can take inspiration.
Super fun seeing people out there enjoying our work.
