Built on Passion. Backed by Experience.
WickedRideMTB Trail Builders provides professional machine-built recreational trail construction services throughout New England.
With 30 years of construction experience focused on excavation and grading for projects ranging from small-scale site work to major infrastructure developments, we bring precision, efficiency, and reliability to every project. Our background includes supervisory roles, project management, and hands-on heavy equipment operation that help set us apart from typical trail builders.
Our experience includes major infrastructure projects such as highways, airports, and large-scale site developments throughout Massachusetts.
My passion for building riding surfaces began as a youngster in the 1980s, shaping backyard BMX tracks with a shovel and rake. Mountain biking became a lifestyle for me in 1990 and has remained an integral part of my life ever since. From 1998 through 2007, I competed in downhill mountain bike racing at the expert level, helping develop a confident and creative riding style while gaining a deep understanding of trail speed, flow, and rider experience.
As mountain biking evolved, so did my passion for learning and progression. Pursuing mountain bike instructor certification and working as a coach helped me better understand how riders of different skill levels develop skills and how trail terrain should match the intended rider experience.
We specialize in sustainable trails designed for durability, proper drainage, progression, and an exceptional rider experience.
