This project - to create a map of MTB skills - originally came from trying to represent a MTB skill progression on number cards 2-10 for the GRIT MTB Playing Cards project.
It has turned into its own separate project with the goal of making a comprehensive Beginner-Pro MTB skill tree with links to articles, how-to videos, etc. for educational purposes.
