Ep 80 – New Season Update: Where Do We Go from Here?

Brent Hillier — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 08:01:59 +0000

Starting off a new season of the podcast and coming off of what was the 4th Anniversary of the show this week, we look to the future. And not that fairy-dream world in which we all get a vaccine, but the real world, the uncertain one we’re all being forced to get used to. Are you still there? Are you still advocating for trails? How have your priorities shifted? What’s on your mind?

Brent Hillier — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 08:01:28 +0000

At the beginning of January 2019, the “Outside/In” Podcast released an episode called “Rake And Ride”.

Ep 57 – Serving Your Community: Interview with Daniel Cammiade of the Nature Trails Society

Brent Hillier — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 08:01:47 +0000

We explore a community with both a multi-use Trail Association and a Mountain Bike Club. My guest is Daniel Cammiade of the Nature Trails Society in Victoria, British Columbia, located in the Southern end of Vancouver Island. We discuss whether an organization should identify as a Bike Club or a Trail Association, and how best to deal with a Land Manager that, simply put, isn’t interested in allowing mountain bike access.

Ep 55 – Are Mountain Bikers Really Conservationists?: Interview with Greig Gjerdalen

Brent Hillier — Fri, 25 Jan 2019 08:01:34 +0000

Greig Gjerdalen is faculty with the school of Outdoor Recreation Management at Capilano University in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. Greig is currently studying how mountain bikers interact with nature and he’s asking: “Is nature merely scenery and therefore more of a backdrop for outdoor recreation pursuits than the center of our relational immersion?” Grieg shares his research and some ideas on what Trail Associations can do to increase a riders relationship with their natural surroundings.

Ep 53 – So You Want To Be a Trail Builder? w/ Guest Host Rocky Blondin of the FVMBA

Brent Hillier — Fri, 21 Dec 2018 08:01:46 +0000

The final episode of 2018 is hosted by Rocky Blondin, past guest and President of the Fraser Valley Mountain Bikers Association. Rocky has adapted his two part blog post called: “So You Want To Be a Trail Builder?”. He not only goes through his process of getting involved but also the many steps that someone new to trail building can take. For those of you who are already out there digging and advocating, I think you’ll enjoy a shared experience and perhaps this episode will be a “where to begin” for those looking to get more involved in their communities.

Brent Hillier — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 08:01:46 +0000

In addition to revamping the Chapter Program, IMBA has added a Chapter President to the Executive Board. I chat with that representative: Ernest Rodriguez, President of the Mid-Atlantic Off Road Enthusiasts. We discuss how the new position is going, how he got involved, and just how organizations can relay feedback to the IMBA Board. We also touch on HR 1349 and the testimony that IMBA provided prior to the House subcommittee hearing back in December.

Ep 5 – What’s in a Name?: Offensive Trail Names And Why Change Is Important

Brent Hillier — Fri, 23 Dec 2016 08:00:38 +0000

When it come to mountain bike trail names, which ones are just a joke and which ones are just plain offensive? And what does a trail name like “Squaw Hollow” say about our path to reconciliation? Are we preventing the sport of mountain biking from becoming more diverse and inclusive? Carrie Karsgaard is trail runner in Kelowna, BC and her Blog post, Trail Names Against Humanity, has seen a huge amount of attention and has highlighted a discussion that has needed to happen for a long time.
