Freeride and Sustainable Trails Association directory

FASTA members apply sound planning and design concepts to engineer projects that succeed for all stakeholders—from riders to city officials. FASTA is committed to developing trails and mountain biking technical skills areas that accommodate a wide array of users. Working FASTA members plan and design trails and skills areas with a systematic approach that enhances the rider’s experience. We also analyze the landscape to support decisions that may influence or be influenced by the variation and specifics of topography, hydrology, vegetation, and soils.

Founded in 2008 by Andrew Pellkofer and Dan Palmer, FASTA members dedicate themselves toward four primary goals:

To create sustainable trails and mountain biking technical skills areas
To provide new recreational opportunities for all levels of mountain bikers
To reduce environmental damage caused by illegal and poorly designed trails
To assist local land managers and clubs with trail design, construction, and maintenance
FASTA members develop practical skills scouting, flagging, and laying out of trails and skills areas. We construct technical elements, maintain them and, of course, ride them.
