Specialized support trail builders, like professional athletes through the Soil Searching Ambassador program. We're supporting a group of Trail Ambassadors from around the world so they can focus on building and maintaining trails for us all.
“Soil Searching creates a great opportunity for local mountain bikers to get hands-on experience with professional trail builders and getting to see people learn new skills is very satisfying to pass on for us because they are always stoked to fix their local network!”

"It creates awareness and appreciation of what it takes to build sustainable trails that will allow more people to enjoy trails in years to come.”
Ryan De La Rue - Contour Works
"Specialized having a pathway for that to happen - having a Dig Day, a BBQ, getting everyone together - it is a whole camaraderie thing. Really hit the nail on the head with that”

Custom Painted Soil Searching Bikes
We have raffled off three custom painted Soil Searching bikes, to help support local mountain bike clubs with the maintenance and sustainability of their local trails. All money raised goes straight back to the club to help grow and support the club and its trails.
