Nigel, training on the Yazzies’ land. “Their place is crazy,” Nigel said. “They just have, like, big boulders everywhere, and then they have, like, woodwork connecting them. Technical features. Crazy stuff I don’t even want to try.”

"We’re able to build a lot of things ’cause there’s so much land here. But we also don’t wanna do too much ’cause we could be causing erosion, ruining the land."

Thanks for posting this. I love knowing that a Native community is making MTBing their own, especially in connection to their landscape.
