There are some familiar names and places in Kona’s latest video, which checks in with a few local riders who are building trails in Oaxaca’s Sierra Norte. Watch it here…

In just a short period of time, Oaxaca, Mexico, has earned a reputation as a premier mountain biking destination. What draws people in isn’t just the amazing trails, unique landscapes, or the rich cultural experience, it’s the warmth of the Oaxacan community.

Kona’s latest video, Build with Purpose, follows three inspiring individuals—Carlos Hernández of Coyote Aventuras, Israel Carrillo, a Kona Ambassador and trail advocate, and Cody Wilkins, Kona Ambassador and Director of RAD Trails—who are deeply engrained local Oaxacan riders and trail builders. Together, they work with the Ixtepeji trail crew to give back by creating a progression area, designed to meet the increasing demand for more advanced riding skills.
