Soil Searching in Niseko

The event

Two days of trail work and riding at Twin Peaks Bike Park, before the bike park’s grand opening to the public. Volunteers join NAMBA and Specialized’s builders and riders to finish the trails. A chance to contribute to the project and ride lines that aren’t yet open.

About Soil Searching

Why not sponsor trail builders like athletes?

Specialized does. The Soil Searching is a movement to recognize, celebrate, and support the trail builders – the unsung heroes of mountain biking, building and shaping our sport.

Soil Searching is proud to be supporting NAMBA’s trail builders, kitting them out with the bikes and apparel they need to dig (and ride!) the trails at the Twin Peaks Bike Park.

Dig days, such as Soil Searching in Niseko, create community, impart knowledge and welcome riders of all ages and abilities to the sport. These outcomes align with NAMBA’s mission of creating, enhancing, maintaining, and protecting great places to ride in Niseko.
