Trail building


Trail building is a special art, scuplting the most from the terrain while managing the long term effects of water, and bikers. Southstar specialises in building mountain biking trails that utilise gentle undulations to provide small water catchments and at the same time making the trail flow, giving the rider the sensation of being unweighted and then compressing. This is achieved in both the vertical and horizontal dimensions.

If this all sounds complicated, the truth is that it is. We have learnt many hard lessons from years of building and maintaining trails.

This process involves surveying the trail line and marking the general route. The trail corridor is then cleared of vegetation. This can be done either by our contractors or by your club or organisation. The designers then come back in to finely mark the allignment of the trail. The trail can then be constructed either by our team of contractors (either with a small digger or by hand) or by your club or organisation.
