I don't think IMBA does Mexico, but you will find all you need at www.imba.com. Buy a few copies of their book on trialbuilding, it will help you immensely, it's worth it's weight in gold.

Vlad, is that a singlespeed MTB with a Vickers .303 canvas-belt fed machinegun in your signature block? Or is that an original Hiram Maxim attached to the bars? Regardless....way to go retro.

Also get the SCA guide to trail building. That is a great book.

Figure out where the trail is going to go (that is half the work) before you swing a single tool.

If you are willing to pay me, I would be willing to come down and build trails. I have designed and built mountain bike trail systems before and have over 10 years of experience in the field.

They've gone down to build trails there a couple of times.

The trail building book is good. The SCA book, Lightly On The Land is a fantastic resource as well.

If your regional government has any funding available to help you with this trail, you can actually hire IMBA's trail design group to come in and help you manage the trail design and build. Drop Dan Vardamis (dan@imba.com) an email. He'll be able to steer you in the right direction.
