Trail Building Tips: Clearing Drains, Deberming & Making Knicks

"Everyone wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance." - Kurt Vonnegut.
This video should help you understand what do when you find puddles on your trail. It will also help determine when you need to deberm, dig a drain, or add a knick to your trail.
Drain Scenario 1:30
Deberming/Clearing Leaf Litter Scenario 4:50
After Deberming 6:10
Knick Scenario 6:34
Flow is an important part of mountain bike trails but we only want that to apply to bikes traveling along the trail and not the rainwater. Clearing leaf litter where water wants to go will help the trail dry faster and keep it from washing out the trail.

Thank you

[@A.T.TrailWorks]

You're welcome! I hope it was helpful, that was an extreme situation since I was in the lowland rainforests at the time but the concept should work anywhere it rains.

great vid, noticed similar conditions and a reason to get out there during April showers

[@A.T.TrailWorks]

Right!? We can always guess but seeing it in action takes away all doubts.

I had a city employee tell me I needed permission to do trail work like drainage work. Only one time in over 10 years.

[@A.T.TrailWorks]

I would've told you, "Thanks and keep up the good work."

[@RealMTBAddict]
