Hong Kong Mountain Bike Association (HKMBA)
Arrowhead Trails, traveled to Hong Kong representing the International Mountain Bicycling Association in planning assistance to HKMBA. IMBA’s Southeast Asia efforts helped the impressive advocacy club to pursue more involvement in the Feasibility Study for a 20km of mountain bike trails on neighboring Lantau Island.
After extensive work from key HKMBA members the award for this important project was realized. Working in conjunction with IMBA, Alta Trail builders, and local mountain bike expert, Julien Lallemand, Scott Wilson was given the contract award from Hong Kong Civil Engineering and Development Department and the Agriculture, Fisheries, and Conservation Department.
This project represents the first time official government procurement has gone out for the building of mountain bike trails in Hong Kong. A clear indication of the recognition and value of mountain bikers and the steady increase in a global market for professional trailbuilders.
Provincial Government of Camarines Sur, Philippines
Volunteered to work on three trail projects for Governor LRay Villafuerte.
Projects included: training trail crews, master planning, GPS, designing trails, and creating an international, World-Class, mountain bike park at the Capitol of Pili, adjacent to world famous Cam Sur Watersports Complex.
Project continues today creating the longest downhill freeride trail in Asia. These lift accessed trails will ultimately descend almost 5000 feet of elevation from the upper reaches of the Mt. Isarog’s volcanic cloud forest, past amazing waterfalls and jungle cliffs, through rice paddies to the town of El Campo below.
Additional trail and water based adventure eco-tourism is being developed by Governor LRay along the remote coastline of Caramoan National Park. See the Philippines Trail Construction Slideshow.
