Hey trail crew,

I’ve been digging for years, and I’ve always found it hard to track down solid, centralized info on building trails — especially when it comes to actual techniques, layout planning, drainage, and tool recommendations.

So I recently started putting together a set of online resources for trail builders: things like tutorials for berms and jumps, tips on water management, trail planning basics, and even a roundup of mobile apps (GPS, slope measuring, etc.) that are actually helpful out in the field.

It’s aimed at both new builders and experienced ones who want to plan better lines, build more sustainably, or even just compare tools.

I'm not here to promote anything — just genuinely wondering:
Would this kind of thing be useful to people here?
What kind of guides or resources do you think would be the most helpful to have all in one place?

Would love to hear what you’d want in something like this, especially from the Pinkbike trail community.

Cheers, and keep shaping those lines
—Max

I am. I came here looking for best practices when building an elevated wooden ladder (not common to trails in my area).
