"We hired Bandon at Angel Fire Resort to build us a new gravity bike trail called Turbo Diesel, which was completed and wonderful. What we did not anticipate during this hiring decision was the sheer amount of knowledge we as a team would learn and gain from Brandon throughout his time spent here. Brandon completely changed the way our bike park team constructs trails, plans future projects, and trains equipment operators. Our team got all this great knowledge from one builder during one summer—completely game-changing for Angel Fire Bike Park and the trail crew team!"

— Patrick West, Bike Park Manager, Angel Fire Bike Resort

"Frankly, Brandon rewrote my book on what I knew about building flow trails. He not only helped correct trails that previously existed but lacked flow and adequate drainage--he taught us the principles of building flow trails from scratch that not only work from a riders' perspective but hold up and require the least amount of maintenance."

— Ethan Edman, Soft Surface Trail Director, NWA Trailblazers

"Brandon rolled in and churned out a green trail where we absolutely had to have it due to design constraints–it was not at all ideal. But he did it right. And now our green trail is one of our most talked about! That means everyone in the family gets to come here, spend more time, and have more fun."

— John Penny, Owner, Howler Bike Park

“…we were very impressed with how meticulous Brandon and his team were when it came to drainage and erosion control. Since we were building in our city watershed, it was critical to ensure that the best practices were utilized to protect our community's drinking water. I would love for every future builder in our watershed to walk the finished Dirt Tek Trail to see what incredible ditching, culvert installation, rock armoring, and bridge placement look like. When the build was completed, Dirt Tek Trails gifted our community with one of the best trails any of us had ever ridden. The final build incorporated fast flowy, beautifully shaped jumps, and simply insane berms. The trail was given the name Extra-Terrestrial.  About a week after the Dirt Tek Team departed, we experienced an intense rain storm that soaked our watershed with over 3 inches of rain in 36 hours. Just two days after the storm, Extra-Terrestrial was ready to ride with no standing water and no erosion issues…”

“…we contracted with Dirt Tek Trails to implement one of the most important projects in our organization’s history. From the start, working with Candice Kozark and Brandon Arce was a positive experience; the professionalism and experience of their team were apparent throughout the trail alignment refining and trail-building process… Our board members, and more importantly, our community of members and riders, have given the highest praise to the quality of this descending-only flow trail with berms and jump features that have pleased riders at both intermediate and expert levels.”
