We don't just maintain trails, we ride them too. Being able to ride the trails on our Giant Bikes, as part of our trail inspections, is vital to maintain a quality experience for trail users. 

Fox is our official riding gear partner, supplying riding clothing and protection to keep us comfortable and safe out on the trails.

Having the right tools is critical for us to do our job and Stihl equips us with the best power tools available, including blowers, brush cutters and saws.

Leatt is our riding backpack partner, supplying hydration packs that also carry our trail tools for maintenance on the go.
