Just MTB Give Something Back To Trail Fund

JustMTB, the New Zealand mountain biking specialists, are very excited to be partnering again with Licence to Ride for the summer 2015 / 2016 edition. This is the third year that Stu and the Chill Studio team behind the Licence to Ride project have been a Trail Fund NZ sponsor and to date they have raised approximately $5000 to support volunteer-trail projects around New Zealand. This is a great small Christmas gift or stocking stuffer so go to the website to grab one today.

The JustMTB tours team are currently working on providing something back to the trails and locations they visit and are part of "Trail Fund" http://trailfund.org.nz/1-percent-for-trails/  where they provide 1% of profits back into the trail infrastructures. They have also set up DOC concessions and provide various private donations to smaller riding organisations. For the JustMTB guys it's all about helping those who help them, allowing those people who create and maintain the trails to continue doing this.

The idea behind the “1% For Trails” programme is that small contributions over large numbers of sales transactions can make a big difference. The goal is to get a wide range of importer and retail partners contributing 1% of revenue / turnover to Trail Fund NZ for the purpose of supporting trail development projects around New Zealand.

Supporters of 1% for Trails include:

•Black Seal Imports – the original backers of the 1% for Trails initiative and the awesome folks who bring riders leading brands including Yeti, Urge, cSixx and Brake Authority.

•3Sixty Sports – the Auckland-based team behind Banshee, Identiti, Halo Wheels and many other leading brands.

•Flite Wheels – the mountain bike branch of Wheelworks which means each and every wheel is built by the team in their Lyall Bay workshop. Quality hand built wheels.

•Just MTB – unique New Zealand mountain biking vacations and adventures on real single track and designed for avid mountain bikers.

•MTB Skills Clinics – the original and the most comprehensive mountain bike skills clinics in New Zealand, from beginner to pinner MTB Skills Clinics have something for everyone.

These sponsors support the 1% for Trails initiative because they want to support sustainable trail building projects in a meaningful and sustainable way across the country. These partners benefit from being able to show that their brand is actively supporting the sport and gaining visibility for those efforts to a fast growing community of consumers interested in moving the sport forward. For their part Trail Fund NZ will provide logo support, stickers, supporting material from Trail Fund NZ, online promotions and plenty of thank you’ s via their various online channels.
