Why build PIRATE TRAILS?

is growing so fast, we can see that small towns to large cities have worked hard to build new trail networks and bike parks across the globe. Volunteer groups, clubs, bike companies, governments and private enterprise are working at all levels to plan and build these incredible places we may call our local trails, yet pirate trails (illegal trails) continue to be built. Some of them are reclaimed, utilitarian trails that have seen new life. Or they are fresh cut in a local forest or reserve or even withing the boundaries of an existing bike park’s network. Many pirate trails have a finite lifespan, and builders often know that what they toil over will be torn apart by a dozer, obliterating hundreds of hours of labour
