Vermeer has announced a new alliance with the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), in which Vermeer will be the exclusive provider of mini skid steers to the association, and will serve as the recommended equipment provider to IMBA affiliates. “Our crew of professional trail builders has put Vermeer mini skid steers through their paces at such mountain biking destinations as Sandy Ridge, Ore., and Spirit Mountain, Minn.,” said Chris Bernhardt, director of consulting services for IMBA. “We think these are great products for building a new generation of mountain bike trails.”
