Video: A Heartfelt Ode to Vermont's MTB Community in 'Thanks in Advance'
BRR Analysis
A new video titled 'Thanks in Advance' has been released, celebrating Vermont's vibrant mountain biking community. Produced by Pinkbike, the film showcases the dedicated trail builders, riders, and volunteers who contribute to the state's extensive network of singletrack. It highlights the collaborative spirit and passion that underpins Vermont's reputation as a premier mountain biking destination, featuring various individuals and organisations integral to its success.
This ode arrives as mountain biking continues its global surge in popularity, with local communities often bearing the brunt of trail maintenance and development. Vermont, with its established network and strong volunteer culture, serves as a prime example of how grassroots efforts can cultivate a thriving scene. The video not only promotes the state's trails but also subtly champions the often-unsung heroes whose tireless work keeps the knobby tires rolling, a model many burgeoning regions aspire to emulate.
Ultimately, 'Thanks in Advance' is a well-deserved spotlight on the bedrock of mountain biking: the community. It's a reminder that the best trails don't just appear; they are built, maintained, and cherished by those who ride them.
