Trail City: The Bikers, Builders and Believers of Duluth, MN
Trail City // The Bikers, Builders and Believers of Duluth, MN
Duluth, Minnesota is home to a vastly growing number of mountain bike trails. To many, these trails are so much more than paths through the woods. Trail City shows the transformation that has brought mountain biking to the area and the people who ride the trails. Told through five different perspectives, this documentary aims to highlight recent trail building in Duluth. But it is much more than that, Duluth has been going through a period of growth over the last few decades. Accelerated by passionate people, these are the builders, bikers, and believers of the growing biking and outdoor recreation scene in Duluth, MN.
Trail City is a film created and produced by Kyle Ilenda and Spencer Johnson of Level Visuals.

I was a bit surprised that this video makes it sound like there was no riding at all in Duluth 10 years ago. I remeber riding with my brother in law there, must be 15+ years ago, and thinking the riding was pretty decent. Good enough that we considered moving back there (no jobs though).
From, what it looks like, it has been expanded greatly through a lot of a hard work from some awesome people.
And despite living in Oregon for the last 20 years, surrounded by some incredible riding, I'd have to say those trails make me jealous. I'd kill for those rocks slabs at the trail systems where I build and ride.
I'd have no hesitation if my wife ever said she wanted to move back home.
Well done Duluth!
