Excellent question Steve. It just so happens that the first installment of my series, Trailbuilding 101, is entitled Before the Shovel: First Steps. I'd be happy to answer specific questions after my articles are released if your questions aren't answered by the end of the series. Cheers! |
do you know about how long it will be till we get to read you articles/blog

BTW B.T.B., sweet looking steeds in your stall bro. That M3 is the bomb! 
Those Cove's are really sweet as well. I have been looking into a few of the Coves for a good progressive HT. Again, thanks for the pictures of your trusty steeds in your stall bro.
On-On bro and ride hard!

Welcome aboard Bob the Builder. I see some of the other guys here are as facinated by your knowledge on trail building as I am. I look foward to your articles.
Are your trails all downhill oriented, or do you dabble in cross country too?

Sweet! I was just pondering as I was riding between classes this morning, that whenever I finally settle down in one spot for long enough I REALLY want to invest in building some new trail. Not just maintaing, but putting some serious sweat into building a new system. |
