Singletracks Mountain Bike Podcast

This MTB Group is Building Trails and Having Fun on Their Own Terms

Listen Later

Dale Boyd and Drew Hall are mountain bikers and trail builders living in Mobile, Alabama. They’re part of a group called Ride the Rebellion that posts videos and podcasts about their efforts to build and ride trails in a part of the US that isn’t traditionally known for mountain biking.

In this episode we ask:

  • What was the local mountain bike scene like when you first got into the sport?
  • How did you come up with the name Ride the Rebellion for your group?
    • How many folks are a part of the group? Is there an official membership process?
    • What are some ways you’ve found to make flat terrain more fun to ride?
    • How did you learn to build trails and trail features?
    • How do you come up with names for trails and trail features?
      • What is the status of the land where you build trails? How did you get permission to build and ride there?
      • What is your agreement like with the landowner in terms of what you can, and can’t, do?
      • Can anyone ride the trail whenever they like, or is it a members-only situation?
      • What is the role of video and podcasting in building your real-life MTB community?
      • Do you travel outside Alabama to mountain bike? What are some of your favorite places to ride outside your local area?
      • What have you learned along the way that might be helpful to others in a similar situation?

        • Find Ride the Rebellion video channel on YouTube and their podcast on Spotify.
