A Trail for Everyone

[@24teddyp]

Don't leave! Stay and build a future for this. Two wheels or two feet... your two hands can create a future for all of us! Never tire- inspire!

[@Runhikeandbike]

I love this! A trail for everyone. Wow, who would've thought? That only happens in other states. Great job SBTS. The Pro-Wilderness and PCT folks should take a lesson from you!

[@Te1ecastermaster]

Loving the work. I work for the FS up in a rural community in Eastern OR, and am actively using your story as a model to show what a trail system can do for rural economies.

[@climberevan]

Thanks for the preview. I'm very excited for the expansion of one of my favorite riding areas. I also love that it will be multi-use. I regularly tell people about this mythical land where motorized and non-motorized users get along and respect the trails.

[@Backcountryhiker]

I'm a hiker and am in favor of strict control of trails, especially if they are designated "hikers only" and no motorized vehicles. However, for a balanced approach to our land use, this is a great idea. Not only will it benefit small communities in that section of California, it will mix hikers with bikers, etc., and being established for that purpose and maintained with environmental concerns in mind, this is a great approach for access for all. We already have designated trails that are set aside for limited use so this balance will be an asset to everyone. Good planning, proper maintence, environmental supervision should make this trail something that will be used for the benefit of all.

[@ChrisMcNamara]

This film, story, and movement has become a big inspiration for me an so many others. So excited to support this and see all 600 miles get built!

[@taviparker4993]

Great, great project. Congratulations to all who are participating in building this incredible trail!!

[@JimPreston]

Fantastic! Makes me homesick for the Sierras! I moved to Fruita, CO for MTB last summer but after a few years exploring the Rockies we want to return to the Lost Sierra.

[@autumnsierra2401]

7:16 I doubt anyone else was looking but there is a very short clip of Greenville before the fire. There's not very many out there so it meant alot to see it here ❤️

[@professorrolloff2158]

I use this video in my recreation resource management classes - awesome story!

[@m.s.7708]

I think this is a great idea, especially bringing the trail to towns.

[@stoneybowmann]

Really nice doc style insight into the project. As a trail/enduro rider... I want to get out there! I have a totally unsolicited suggestion for future video, take it or leave it, putting my producer hat on: take the riding down a notch. I am in Southern Marin, and perhaps more aware of people's bike phobias. This may not apply in your area. Although the riding footage is awesome, it's also fast and furious... not exactly the message to send to hikers and other users about bikes... at least in my experience. Also, arguably not the style of riding most of us mortal riders are capable of! As pure bike/trail porn... it's great. Nice work and I'm behind the project!

[@climberevan]

I agree that the riding shown is at a high level, but I thought it was SUPERB that they didn't do any skidding or stupid trail destruction in the riding shots. Also, having spent a lot of time in the Lost Sierra myself, I suspect the majority of the trail users that this new project will bring will be mountain bikers and motos, not hikers. Obviously we should all be courteous, but it's certainly possible to ride fast without being destructive and rude.

[@chriscarter5440]

Chris Carter Looking forward to the upcoming meeting in Nevada City Feb 2. What a great plan and way overdue for 2 -Wheel recreation.

[@dobegrama]

What a fabulous idea! Makes me want to visit CA just to see this trail. Worth the trip.

[@blancolirio]

Bravo!!

[@jasonscoles7773]

Originally from NoCal central valley. Live in Chile for past 2 decades. Whenever I go home, I hit these trails bc they're as world class as there is out there. Hoping everyone who watches this video, rides these trails, or is aware of this work either shares to build awareness or donates what they can to keep the great work going. Saludos po!

[@BrianReynolds84]

This is amazing! So stoked I live close by. Will be supporting in any way I can :D

[@NewportBrotherhood]

Great video! Nice to see and hear a great story.

[@christinaschneider8572]

This is FABULOUS!!!

[@64chrisg]

Awesome!!! Love this. Will definitely ride and support the towns that are participating in this incredible venture.

[@courtneywoodcox3258]

Love it Greg!! I’ve heard of it!! I think Butte Meadows was part of the trail!! We dirt bike all over up here, and would love to help be part of this!! Super cool to be able to ride to a destination and have lunch, stay or just ride back!! Love what you’re doing!! And interested in learning more!!

[@tosa-ranch2234]

I’m so pumped for this! I grew up in Chico and some of my first real jobs were in the small communities around Lake Almanor. I love riding and it would be so incredible to see these towns enjoy a recreational boom. You folks are doing the Lord’s work!

[@lindahikes2760]

This is a great idea. I often wondered why rural communities in WV, KY, TN haven't done anything like this. Locally we have a "Rails to Trails" system that converted old railroad trails to bike, walking, snowmobile trails.

[@mikeshuck2760]

So great to see “Multiuse Trails” being cut/built. Trails open for “All” the people. There are thousands of mile of hiking, equestrian and MTB.

[@CaliradoKid]

Amazing video! Really great to see the work you guys are putting in out there. Now I want to go ride!!

[@DJhunta]

I am just a few hours down the 395 what a great vid.

[@larainemartin7185]

Watching from Routt County Riders in Steamboat Springs CO and loving this!

[@CarlosThomas]

You got my support from the Bay Area.

[@jonesjs8898]

Can't wait to visit and support the local communities. A sincere thank you for supporting trail use!

[@rosevillebikes]

Amazing!

[@erincarroll837]

You guys are inspiring and living the dream. I have wanted to bikepack this area for some time now. I guess I’ll have to wait for the LSR to open!

[@Avicenna1037]

I love this. Greetings from Toronto! A visit to some of these places mentioned in the video is going on my road trips to do list. My kids and I love building out trips and adventures around our enthusiasm for mountain biking and your story and purpose makes a trip out there so much more meaningful and necessary!

[@imnono29er]

Congrats for the great work and awesome accomplishment

[@chrispeterson7552]

What a wonderful, inspirational way to build community

[@RGAGS415]

BADASS! NEED MORE OF THIS ACROSS USA.

[@sandiegomountainbikingasso5066]

Just amazing! Carry on!

[@barryminor616]

tune UPs are coming UP #Together

[@likeaspacemonkey]

Outstanding work. I would love to come and ride your trails one day. Keep it up from NZ!

[@unclefuzzyss]

Incredible. An inspiration to all those trail developers out there.

[@garybowser3104]

A great model for the rest of us!

[@Lassy3]

What you’re doing is awesome! How can locals help/support your work?

[@estherodonnell3618]

Henry, I think I'm your second cousin! Hue was my grandfather. This is so cool to see where my dad grew up. He has so much pride for his hometown. I would love to know how to support this effort! Connecting Community is a beautiful thing!

[@samuplacido3316]

fantastic work!!!👍🏼🔥

[@danhughes2794]

Great work and sweet video! Can't wait to continue contributing in every way I can.

[@Adventure_Mike]

Great work guys!!!

[@FernFlowMtb]

So rad - such a great project. Keep up the good work!

[@philipbuckley759]

so is there a book on resupple points and such......akin to the AWOL for the AT...

[@generalismoGrosMichel]

Grew up in Quincy and did some timber cruising during college. Are you working with the logging industry to build these trails? Did the first last year effect your work? This is the first time I have heard the place I grew up called the Lost Sierras.

[@bearburrell6104]

what is the trail with the big rocks? minute 4:16 thanks!

[@coachhannah2403]

Lived in Greenville a little while...

[@NathanBake]

What trail has that big split rock slab? Looks like an awesome ride.

[@petayV8]

The sierras is the only place in CA that has the correct attitude towards recreation, in particular bikes. Hopefully it spreads

[@barryminor616]

BEautifull Dudework Together Everyone Achieves More

[@JackyLegs]

awesome work, makes me want an e-bike!

[@curious493]

Can I walk part of the trail with little children? My youngest is 4.

[@Try_It_With_Pru]

Where can I sign up to volunteer?

[@epicshangrila]

Wow

[@SinMore]

sounds cool. I'm a backpacker and I'm just worried about getting run over by bikes or shot by hunters.

[@WildMeff]

Donated

[@richardsprince6980]

Uh, if dudes are gonna be riding like that, people won’t be able to hike on the trail.

[@shooter7a]

I hope this actually happens, but I am not sure how equestrian and motorized users are going to coexist. Horses don't all respond that well to noisy motor vehicles....and as a dirt bike rider and mountain bike rider, I can attest that some people who ride off road vehicles can act like douche bags. Something about motors brings out the worst i people....especially people who ride quads. Just calling it like it is... I hope they can come up with a way to have everyone coexist.

[@codybrackett812]

And here I always thought that bikers riding double wide on roads and never letting cars pass were the jerks.... hm.

[@CrawforDesign]

This is a complete turn-off for people who want to hike the area. We HATE to share the trail with mountain bikers. If you want to attract the full range of users, edit your video to show some hikers at least.

[@pamelaforman8710]

Love the idea of this trail - but dirt bikes? Horses and dirt bikes don't mix, so not really a "trail for everyone"

[@justajumpin]

Sure they do. I am an avid horsewoman and also a dirt biker. Horses should obviously be trained to handle startling things before taking them out on trails, but once people actually know how to handle a horse encounter (turn off bike, take off helmet, say hello) we can all get along.

[@LGguedo]

I dirtbike and love seeing horses on trail. It’s the norm in many places. Not hard to coexist, just takes a little bit of respect both ways.

[@otousan]

Beautiful video! But to me it shows a bunch of white people (save for glimpses of one African-American and of bottles of Sriracha) constructing a magnificent non-hiker-friendly trail. It looks like I'll have to pass.

[@symcardnel1741]

How long before this trail system is littered w/ tolls, Dunkin Donuts, condos, and strip malls? PS: Next time "you" come up with something like this... PLEASE DON'T ANNOUNCE IT!!!
