Testimonials

Scott Secco - Director

''As director of Builder, I hired Bill to create a custom trail for Geoff Gulevich’s segment. Since the movie was based around mountain bike trail building, I knew I needed trails which would stand out by being visually stunning and unique for viewers, and technically challenging for the riders themselves. Bill spent weeks scouting, planning, and constructing an absolute masterpiece for the film. His attention to detail and commitment to the project was unbelievable - it was the only trail in the movie where every single piece of woodwork had the bark peeled off every log (to increase the longevity of the structures and satisfy Bill’s perfectionist streak). Bill is one of the best trail builders in the world and his work in my film was a testament to his ability to make tracks which cater to any skill level: from pump tracks for beginners to dream tracks for world class pros like Gully.''

Geoff Gulevich - Professional Mountain Biker, Documentary Writer/Photographer

"Bill is the most dedicated trail builder I have ever had the pleasure to work with. His dedication and love for building is displayed through his precision and persistence. A keen eye for trail potential is a gift that so few have and he is one of the lucky few. I would work with Bill again in a heartbeat."

Thomas Schoen - First Journey Trails - CEO/Planner/Consultant

“Bill McLane is a true master of his craft. His trail designs are a work of art, meticulously crafted to provide the ultimate mountain biking experience. The climbing trail in Cumberland the he designed and built is a testament to his expertise. As a CEO of a trail planning and construction company, I can confidently say that Bill is one of the best in the business. It has been an honor to ride his trails and witness his work firsthand over the past 10 years since we first met building trails in Prince George.”

Mark Wood - Trail Holistics - Director/Filmmaker

Mike Manara - Mt Washington Alpine Resort - Manager of Snow Schools and Rentals, Bike Park

"Bill has the ability to utilize the ground and natural terrain in the best way possible, making turms and berms silky smooth for riders.  He seek lines with trail features like amazing views, jumps, tall firs and cedars as well as cool bridging to connect one section of trail to the next.  Bill is always keen to ride and rework the trail to get the most flow speed and fun out of the line.  He was part of the crew that helped re-shape the future of the Mount Washington Bike Park in 2016."
