Ep 72 – Andre “Jurasick” Trummer: Trailforks Ambassador Switzerland
Skids & Giggles Mountain Bike PodcastShow Notes
We sat down with the Trailforks Ambassador for Switzerland, Andre Trummer, or, as he is known on the platform and on Pinkbike: Jurasick. Crowdsourcing and communities stand at the core of Trailforks and Andre gives us a great overview of the main features, on how the approach works on the platform, what his role is in channeling all that data and what regular users can do to improve the platform, apart from just uploading their GPS files. Of course, we also get to hear about Andre’s favourite features, how he got into Trailforks himself and about how he works with institutions like SchweizMobil or IMBA Switzerland to not only improve Trailforks, but also to help their organisations with the data from Trailforks.
Andre recently hosted a Trailforks 101 series for IMBA Switzerland. You can find the recorded sessions on his personal website.

For this one, we sit down exactly how we imagined it in the early days of the podcast: Just two good buddies having a chat, talking about bikes and things that could be. After almost 4 years and over 80 episodes, we could finally make it happen!
