While this short video was put together by my local trail club, Salida Mountain Trails, this call to action can apply to just about every mountain biker.

Even if you don’t have the foggiest idea what goes into building a mountain bike trail, just show up at your next local trail work day–chances are high that the long-time trail builders would love to show you what to do!
