I've honestly been fighting the good fight with my local trail org for well over a decade. I've said it probably a million times, but here in NH and especially in Southern NH we are about 20 years behind on trail development and progressiveness of our trails. One has to drive hours to find any sort of jumps, drops, or any feature really. Up until a few years ago a berm on a trail was unheard of. But yet we have 100's, maybe even thousands of miles of trails in SNH and almost every single one of them is the same rocky, rooty, up and down and around XC singletrack. Great for an afternoon beatdown after work. I've been advocating for years to progress our riding to a new level, for the next generation, to the levels I've seen as I've traveled around the country to ride the best trails. To be honest you really don't have to go too far to ride some of the most progressive insanely flowy jump trails but they are atleast 90 minutes away in the beautiful state of Vermont...Vermont just gets it, and has been pushing forward for years leaving the rest of New England in the dust.
Which brings me to why I finally did what I've been dreaming about for years and wanting for my kids to have locally... I built my own flow trail in my backyard. Not only to have an awesome trail in my backyard... duh, but to also show the local MTB community what's possible with so little. It doesn't take much honestly and as you'll see in this video when you hire a professional trail builder... it get's done right, and it gets done fast. So, let's stop making excuses and build some awesome trails! Introducing THE ONLY MACHINE BUILT DH FLOWTRAIL IN SOUTHERN NH!

This video or build would not have been possible without the awesome support of my Patreon subscribers! Their donations went straight into this project! Thank you so much!
