Derek Thomson of Apex Trail Construction joins the Gnardcast this week and barely gets a word in about building trails, despite having traveled the country coast to coast designing trails for everyone from small municipalities to pro riders like Eric Porter and Tyler McCaul. He’s currently working on a project east of Zion National Park. Derek gives some insight into trail building, but everyone is too distracted by how high Sponch is to pay much attention to anything else.
The boys talk about the mini horses, a topic that Gnards seem unwilling to let go of, and also update everyone on the massive amount of injuries and ailments fellow Gnards are suffering. Jimmy dedicates a baiku to these fallen dirt soldiers. There is a full Mail Sack, which is emptied as quickly as possible, and a new segment called Kinard’s Korner makes its debut with a beautiful story about lot lizards in Massachussettes.
