Everything’s bigger in Texas — including our passion for the outdoors. Whether you’re bombing down rocky ridgelines in the Hill Country or winding through pine forests in East Texas, sustainable trail building makes sure the ride stays epic for generations to come.

Sustainable trails are designed to handle the heat, the rain, and the heavy use — all while protecting the rugged beauty that makes Texas riding so unique. It’s about smart planning, tough construction, and a commitment to preserving the land we love.

What Makes a Trail Sustainable?

🏞 Minimal Environmental Impact

Good trail design protects water sources, reduces erosion, and keeps native plants thriving. That means fewer washouts and more rideable miles — even after a gully washer.

💪 Built for Texas Tough Conditions

From dry caliche soil to rocky limestone ledges, sustainable trails are designed to hold up under pressure. That means less maintenance and more time shredding.

🌄 Blends With the Terrain

Instead of fighting the land, sustainable trails follow the natural contours of Texas terrain, whether you’re riding desert singletrack out west or lush flow trails near Austin.

🚵 Designed for Riders

Safe, fun, and challenging — sustainable trails are built with the rider in mind. They’re meant to be fast, flowy, and accessible to all skill levels, from weekend warriors to hardcore racers.

Trail Building Techniques That Work in Texas

• Smart Trail Alignment

We scout the best lines — thinking about slope, soil, and drainage — to keep the trail dry, fast, and rideable year-round.

• Drainage is King

Features like grade reversals and water bars help shed water and prevent erosion — key for Texas trails that go from drought to downpour in a flash.

• Right Materials for the Job

Whether it’s crushed granite, decomposed granite, or native soil, the trail surface is chosen to take a beating and stay rideable.
