My favorite flavor of MTB riding and trails is Reward for Effort. You know – climbs followed by dumb grin descents. Something just seems right about earning your fun, the more pain the more fun! So naturally I guess when it comes to working on new trail I don’t want it to just meander around. Even if the vert and terrain is limited I want some kind of pain followed by some kind of pleasure, and one thing is for sure – building trail in the mid Summer heat makes every meter even sweeter. 700 new ones of them in fact – half up, half down.

PS. I guess a career in foot modeling is out of the question? Yeah… I thought so too!  😛
