Ama Koenigshof didn’t grow up riding trails. She didn’t even enjoy mountain biking at first. But she stepped into the industry anyway and built a career shaping trails from a different perspective. Her story is honest and worth your time. bit.ly/48g5EHg

There’s something happening right now in the trail world. You can feel it in the momentum building in places most people would never think to look. Different places. Same thread. And in putting together Vol 4:1, that thread became impossible to ignore. bit.ly/4cYsRAs

Getting trails approved can take years. Sometimes it never happens. So people grab a shovel and go anyway. That’s how a lot of trails start. But long-term access usually means going legal. What actually works? How do you navigate the politics + bureaucracy?

There are trails that exist because they were approved. And then there are trails that exist because nothing else did. In SW Germany, one builder operates in both worlds. He works within the system, advocating for legal trials, & he builds outside of it. bit.ly/4tQmipp

There was a time the Gillard Trail Network was hidden. No signs. No maps. You had to know someone. Then came the fire. What followed was a shift. From unsanctioned to sanctioned. This story explores the tradeoffs of making trails official. bit.ly/41QcEqG

The Dakine 25-liter Builder Pack is the little sister to our favorite 45-liter Dakine Builder Pack. When you want a little less bulk with a little more stability, this is the pack I reach for every time. bit.ly/4rWydAs

What was your biggest trail building win in the past 6 months? Could be a finished project. Hiring a new staff member. A rebuilt section. A new sponsor or partnership. Getting your city council on board. Would love to hear ...

East Africa is famous for producing world-class runners. Cycling, however, is a different story. Kasanje Bike Park in Uganda hopes to change that with trails, a pump track, and a free place for people to ride. bit.ly/3N2BVdD
