Mountain bike trail design
Design the trail.
Ride it before you dig.
Pick a spot anywhere in the US, lay out your trails, add berms and jumps, then ride them in 3D.
How it works
1Pick your spot
Your backyard, a friend's woods, the local park. Pick it on the map and seconds later you're looking at that ground in 3D, with its real ups and downs.
2Lay out your trails
Click out a route, one trail or several. Then drop in berms, rollers and jumps. Each one is sized for the speed a rider will have at that spot.
3Ride it first
Ride the trail on screen before anyone picks up a shovel. Fix the slow corner now, not after a weekend of digging.
4Stake it out
Print the stake sheet or load the trail onto your phone. Walk the land and put a stake at every point. Each one says what gets built there.
Why this exists
Twenty volunteers. One plan they can all see.
Getting people to show up was never the hard part. The hard part was telling twenty volunteers what to build, where to build it, and what it should look like when it's done.
Build it with friends
Every stake has a number, and the sheet says what goes there: a berm this tall, a roller this long. Everyone knows the job before the first shovel goes in.
Show the township
A trail in your head is hard to say yes to. Print a clean plan, or turn the land around on screen and move the trail while they ask questions.
More people who can design a trail means more trails, and better ones, for all of us to ride.
