When I first started Trail Builder Magazine, the vision was simple: create a platform where the people shaping our trails could finally have their stories told. Riders, racers, and brands have always had a voice in mountain biking, but trail builders, the ones in the dirt, behind the tools, rarely did. That’s the gap this magazine was born to fill.

Growing a magazine and media platform from scratch is both exhilarating and daunting. The fact that I started Trail Builder Magazine without funding or backing also means I have very little overhead. We're nimble. As a result, I have the freedom and flexibility to grow it sustainably and experiment along the way.

A couple of times a year, I like to pull back the curtain and give updates about the magazine and this media platform with you. I am also sharing this with you now in anticipation of the release of our next print issue in the next few weeks. So, what is new around here?
