Ep 79 – Dave Tschumi: Vast Trails

Skids & Giggles Mountain Bike Podcast

Show Notes

We sat down with Dave Tschumi, co-owner and "Director of Figures" at Vast Trails!

We get a behind the scenes look into the business of building trails, the different roles and skillsets in successful digging teams, collaboration, the quality and art in trail building and, of course, Dave’s own journey in mountain biking that took him from instigating his first trail projects as a teenager, to working with brands and some of the biggest companies in the business, all the way to co-owning Vast Trails and putting his vision into dirt.
