Dafydd Davis - A Pioneer in Trail Planning and Design, based out of Wales 162 Dafydd might be the most impactful mountain bike trail planners and designer period. His thoughtful approach to trail planning and design has resulted in trail experiences that were decades ahead of their time in Wales, which eventually spread throughout the world. You’d think the topics we discussed and Dafydd’s concepts were rather new, but he started this approach in 1994, 30 years ago. Dafydd’s concepts have also be studied and implemented by many other trail planners and designers, and are still extremely relevant today. “Build the right trails, in the right places in the right ways” – Dafydd Davis Topics Include: The creation of the first ever Trail Centre (Coed Y Brenin)Dafydd’s approach to creating a very robust set of trail design standards and why this is critical for successThe creativity employed by Dafydd to accomplish his goalsSustainable TrailsDafydd traveling around the world for Trail Planning and DesignHow mountain bike technology has progressed and how this should be considered when planning and designing new trails / trail systemsThe real value of Trail Planning and Design Trail EAffect Show Links: Coed y Brenin: https://www.mbwales.com/agents/coed-y-brenin/ Mountain Bike Hall of Fame: https://mmbhof.org/dafydd_davis/   Episode Sponsor - Coulee Creative: www.dudejustsendit.com https://www.couleecreative.com/   Trail One Components 20% off Coupon Code: trailpod Trail EAffect Podcast Website: www.traileaffectpodcast.com KETL Mtn Apparel Affiliate Link: https://ketlmtn.com/josh Trail One Components: https://trailone.bike/?ref=XavfBrRJfk4VOh Contact Josh at evolutiontrails@gmail.com This Podcast has been edited and produced by Evolution Trail Services
