About the Video: It’s the story of four, high school “student athlete” mountain bikers who wanted to give back for their senior project by building and repairing the singletrack they pedaled weekly. Our Subaru-IMBA Trail Care Crew spent a weekend helping them and their classmates learn sustainable trail work.

IMBA: “Ok teens, see this trail here? It’s much too narrow for a family of four to go down at the same time. Also, much too steep.. someone might have to actually use their small ring. Tsk tsk.”
