What's The Biggest Game Changer In The Next 10 Years?


have been building tuff, but just got done reading this article on PB:
http://www.pinkbike.com/news/one-question-whats-the-biggest-game-changer-2015.html
i thought everything was normal reading, until i got to the last comment by team robot.  Charlie's opinion set a light bulb off in my head.  why should we build trails in a certain way because we think "this is the way you are supposed to do it now", only to have boring trails?

this changes how i would have commented on cam's recent "This is how you ruin a trail" post.

IMBA's trail building guidebook might need to be thrown out the window, so that we can bring together the forces that sculpt sanctioned trails with the forces that are forced to build un-sanctioned trails. 

a future gravity trail in the new ten year plan in the cap'  is going to need some gnarliness above and beyond the current status quo.
