Big weekend for Max — MOmentum's own rider placed 2nd at the pump track World Qualifier and is officially headed to the World Championships in Beijing 👀

He wasn't the only one making headlines. Two-time World Champion Tommy Zula showed up and won it all, too.

Oh, and this was the largest UCI World Qualifier the US has ever hosted.

94 riders. And a big crowd of family, friends, and fans who came out to cheer them on!

This is what happens when a park gets put on the map. Getting people hyped for an event is one thing. Watching them actually show up and ride is the best part of the job.

"A 30,000 foot vision. Then you just keep distilling it down."

That's how Case, one of our Landscape Architects, answers the question we get asked all the time: what do we actually do? Turns out it's this: take a big idea and keep refining it, sketch by sketch, until it's a real place with real people in it.

Full episode coming soon — we'll be sharing more clips like this one along the way.

New signage is popping up all over Blowing Rock, guiding visitors downtown, to the trails, and everywhere in between. Each sign was custom designed to fit the character of the town. 🍁

Did you know signage has its own vocabulary? Some of these are officially called "Confidence Markers" — they don't tell you where to turn, they just quietly confirm you're headed the right way.

Proud to have partnered with the Blowing Rock TDA on this one.

Our President, Eric Woolridge, sat down with Real Boone Studios to talk small towns, tourism dollars, and what it really takes to turn potential into progress. Give it a listen! 🎧

What does Dad do at work all day? We asked the kids. The answers did not disappoint. 😄 Happy Father’s Day to the dads of DbD!

A few scenes from NCASLA with our design team.

This is the crew behind all of our landscape architecture. This conference is always a great chance to step away from the day-to-day and get some fresh perspective for the communities we serve.

As part of our work with Alamance County, Rockingham County, and the Haw River State Trail we spent time capturing content along the Haw River — a waterway that connects communities across county lines.

A good reminder that places are rarely just one thing. They are landscapes, local stories, access points, downtowns, and regional connections all moving together.

Launch day at MOmentum!

Joplin showed up and showed out. It was such a fun day to capture the energy around Momentum Bike Park’s Grand Launch Party and celebrate alongside the people who helped bring it to life. Congrats to the City of Joplin and the many community partners who made this project possible. 🤙

There’s something special about seeing a public space become part of everyday community life.

Norris Park is a great example of how thoughtful investment in parks and gathering spaces can support connection, quality of life, and local pride.

Grateful to be part of this work in Rutherford County.
