Fanie Kok is passionate advocate for Trail Building. Fanie is at the head of the Specialized Soil Searching movement, which aims to recognize, celebrate, and support trail builders who help shape our sport of mountain biking. During this conversation, we talk about Fanie's journey from being a passionate cyclist in a small town in South Africa to becoming the head of the Specialized Soil Searching movement. We talk about how the movement was created and how it operates to support trail builders in their community. Fanie shares stories about how trail building can impact the environnement and social issues in a positive way, and we talk about how we can all play a role in supporting trail building in our own communities. Plus, much more.

This is one of my personal favorite episode. I hope you will enjoy it and learn as much as I did.
