MP officially launches MTB Project: a sister site for mountain biking
|
For years we've thought about creating similar sites for other sports, and finally we're doing it for mountain biking at MTB Project - www.mtbproject.com |
|
This is pretty slick. Really like the virtual tour listed above. |
|
Very, very well done. |
|
Looks pretty sweet. |
|
The "Virtual Ride" feature is pretty slick! |

Why can't people just comment on rides without all this social media stuff?Because if you're not posting GoPro footage of your sends on FB, linking to your blog, posting stills on Instagram and Pinteresting said ride, you didn't do it. The spray generation demands it. I believe (like you) that it is beyond annoying. |

We may actually build in a native comment system that will let you do it without one of those accounts. But getting this live in time for this year's riding season required some efficiencies, and slapping in Facebook's comment system takes about 10 minutes. |

This is super sick. As an avid MTBer though I wish it would import segments from strava and do an autobuild feature- something along the lines of, "90% of people who rode this segment rode these other segments, therefore a ride is described algorithmically as a collection of strava segments with a certain probability of being ridden in the same session" |

Nick when is the Mtbproject Android app going to be available? |
|
Can we add display names to the MTB Project site? I don't want my full first and last name displayed on everything. |
|
This thing is great, now I won't need to buy one of those expensive guidebooks just to find trails. |

I'm there as Reign man Huckster ( I ride a 6"full suspension Giant Reign 2) I currently have a posting there on the for sale page. You'll easily recognize my picture even with my helmet on :) Brain Bucket |

As a geo-developer and someone who has been a bit of a pain in the ass on some of these forums I have got to say this new MTB site is awesome. You did a great job. I would love to see Mountain Project follow a similar design/framework. Nice work! |
|
I joined and abandoned immediately. I was stoked to contribute my local trails right away. Unfortunately you can't add anything unless you have a GPS to map it? Bummer. |
|
Awesome site, great job again. |
|
Hey, the new site looks amazing. Will it be only for US tracks or will it be worldwide? |
|
We will get worldwide eventually, but it will probably be a few more months at least. |
|
Cant wait! |

Can't get an email sent to me to remember password! |
