Dafydd Davis - A Pioneer in Trail Planning and Design, based out of Wales 162

Dafydd might be the most impactful mountain bike trail planners and designer period. His thoughtful approach to trail planning and design has resulted in trail experiences that were decades ahead of their time in Wales, which eventually spread throughout the world. You’d think the topics we discussed and Dafydd’s concepts were rather new, but he started this approach in 1994, 30 years ago. Dafydd’s concepts have also be studied and implemented by many other trail planners and designers, and are still extremely relevant today.

“Build the right trails, in the right places in the right ways” – Dafydd Davis
