Thanks for posting and publicising. I must admit, despite being very local, and a regular rider at one the spots mentioned, I hadn’t heard about the Collective. Some really good points in the articles, esp. need to reimagine and decentralise legit riding, to cater for more “advanced riders,” and to better take landowners safety needs into consideration. All of this sounds very doable. Point about who gets involved in building/maintaining is a good point too. Yep, there are “rippers” and “shredders” but there are plenty of others too, not least my better-half who loves to get out in the woods, remove fallen obstacles, and to otherwise make riding safe. Presented right, I can see wider communities getting behind this initiative.
