Confessions of a Trail Builder

Peter Rabbits totally Rad Garden Path

Peter, also known as Rabbit has been busy in his back yard. See this video for ideas on how to create MTB trails in your back yard.

This example demonstrates a fine blend of the back yard arts. No, nothing suspicious, I’m talking about a garden that combines permaculture, local endemic species of flora and fauna with an intricately placed kick arse trail, this could be heaven!
Pump tracks are fun! Check it...

Bowmaniac Philosophy - The Prequel

In SA, my nick name is the "Bowmaniac" and for numerous reasons which I will not go into here.

Working as a professional trail builder in SA since 2002, I was quite often asked to write articles about trail sustainability for the Bicycle SA newsletter. I have picked out some of my favourites for you.

DISCLAIMER:
These "Confessions" are colloquial and must be taken lightly, with good humour. Light reading with some philosophy thrown in. Enjoy.

Way back when I was just a humble trail builder, living in Melrose SA, I was inspired to write this article for the Bicycle SA Newsletter.

Bowmanic Philosophy: My Dreamtime and the Fine Line in Design

Long have I stared at that mountain. While the sun sets and the breeze in the trees reminds me of the distant ocean. Its’ rugged beauty erupting from the dry plains and casting a cooling shadow on the dry land.

Roots in the Dirt

IMBA Australia has "Roots in the Dirt"
(see images http://imba-au.com/gallery)

It started with a seed of hope. In fertile soil, the roots have grown deep. Now well established, with branches reaching for the sky, the tree can grow strong. It will bear fruit if you can provide sustenance. In the right conditions, IMBA Australia will be fruitful. That means great trails in all Australia landscapes!
