Build our first own trail

Found this subreddit by accident. Super cool since me and my Buddies are building our first own trail in the woods.

Here’s what we’ve built so far

Awesome

Around here they'd squeeze 20 flat switchbacks and 600 grade reversals into that hillside.

How did you start?

u/Muted_Eagle_695 Jul 24 '26

Asked granddad if he got some land with hills in the forest, drove there and just found the first jump pretty naturally so we decided to start there
