Specialized bikes has an ongoing video series called Trail Hunter, which spotlights the efforts of dedicated individuals and groups around the world who are building and maintaining mountain bike trails all over the world, while also serving as ambassadors for the sport. In this video, we head to South Africa, where there is a thriving mountain biking community that feels connected to the land in ways that are not always found elsewhere. In this case, trail builder Hylton Turvey has managed to construct an impressive network of riding routes while staying true to his African roots. An inspiring and interesting story to say the least.
