Our Mission & Code of Conduct

Where adventure begins

DMD HUB is a free community platform for adventure motorized vehicle activities. We build the tools — you bring the journeys. Together we make the navigation easier, improve the access to relevant data, bring users closer, keep trails open, communities welcoming, and routes good for generations of riders who haven't even started their first kilometer yet.

What we stand for

Three pillars,
one ride.

DMD HUB exists because adventure riding deserves better tools — and the land we ride on deserves better stewards. Everything we build serves one of these three goals.

Inspire the journey

The best moments outdoors happen far from the city — somewhere quiet, with the engine warm and the map on display in front of you. We build the navigation software, the planner, the maps and the sharing platform that get you to those moments, you just need to get out and ride!

Protect the trail

Every trail you ride is borrowed from a landowner, a community or a piece of nature that doesn't owe us anything. Riding responsibly is the only way these routes stay open. Our Signature Tracks programme gives the track creators the data they need to keep their trails alive.

Connect the community

Adventure riding is a global tribe scattered across small workshops, riding groups and online communities. The HUB pulls it together: share routes and locations, review services, post photos and videos from yesterday's pass, find the next event or track. One platform, every rider welcome.

Why the HUB

One account.
The whole adventure world.

The HUB is your single home for everything adventure . Plan in the browser, ride with DMD2 Next on your favorite vehicle, share back with the community when you're done. All connected, all easy.

Plan in the browser

Drop pins, pull in adventure-friendly routes, scan for weather warnings, line up fuel stops. Then send the GPX to the bike.

Manage your GPX library

Every track you upload — public, private, signature — lives in one place. Tag it, share it, hand it to a friend with one link.

Pin the good spots

Wild camp, hidden viewpoint, mechanic who'll see you the same day. Save it, share it, browse what other riders have found in the same area.

Find & host events

Rallies, group rides, club meets, rider trainings. Post your event, browse what's coming up near you, RSVP in one click.

Connect with services

Workshops, guides, gear shops, accommodation that knows what an ADV bike is. Find them on the map; rate them when you've been.

Community feed

Post photos from yesterday's ride, follow riders you respect, comment on the routes you've done. The closest thing the adventure world has to a town square.

Watch & share videos

Helmet-cam footage, route walkthroughs, builds and reviews. Embedded straight into your profile and routes — no extra platform required.

Riding groups

Create and mange your tribe, ride together while viewing everyone on the map, share routes and photos inside private spaces.

  Signature Tracks

More than a GPX file.
A living trail.

A Signature Track isn't just a route uploaded to the internet — it's a curated trail with a real owner, real ridership data, and a real feedback loop with the riders who travel it. Here's what makes it different.

  • Owners see who rode

    Track creators get anonymous usage data — how many riders completed the route, what time of year, how their experience rated. Knowledge that helps them keep the trail alive, pitch it to landowners, and improve it season over season.

  • Riders report issues directly

    Tree across the trail at km 47? Bridge out? Section permanently closed? Report it from the DMD Next app or HUB website — the owner gets notified, every future rider sees the warning pinned on the map until the owner marks it solved.

  • Verified completions

    Ride credit isn't self-attested. The DMD Next app records the path you actually traced and compares it to the Signature Track. Coverage above 80% counts as a completion, unlocks the badge, and increments the trail's live ride counter.

  • Ratings, reviews & comments

    Verified riders rate the trail and leave reviews — owners reply, future riders read both sides before they commit a weekend to it. The community becomes the QA team.

How we ride

Code of Conduct

The HUB is open to every adventure rider, but using it means agreeing to a few simple things. None of these are rules a ranger will enforce — they're the unwritten ones every adventure rider already knows, written down so a new rider can read them on day one.

01

Hold the line

The route is the contract — ride it as drawn, even when an easier line through the field is right there. Every fresh track beside the original is how a trail eventually gets closed by the very people who let us ride it in the first place.

02

Leave no trace

Everything that came in with you, leaves with you — packaging, tubes, broken parts. If you can carry it full, you can carry it empty. Bonus points for picking up someone else's litter on the way.

03

Slow through villages

Locals didn't sign up for the noise. Roll through populated areas at a walking pace, hand off the throttle, and remember: every loud, careless rider makes life harder for the ten polite ones who'll come through tomorrow.

04

Respect wildlife

Animals — wild or grazing — don't know what your bike is. Give them distance, kill the throttle, wait if you have to. A grazing herd parted by patient riders is a story; one scattered by throttle is a complaint to the trail association.

05

You are an ambassador

When you're in a remote village, you're the only adventure rider that locals will meet that month. Sympathy, friendliness, basic courtesy. The next rider through is borrowing your reputation.

06

Spend in the small places

The bakery on the square, the family-run guesthouse, the workshop with one bay. Adventure tourism only stays welcome where it feeds the local economy. Skip the chains, pay in cash, leave a good review.

07

Be kind in the feed

In comments, group chats and reviews — no discrimination, no pile-ons, no political flame wars. Adventure brings everyone together; let's keep it that way. Disagree on tyre brands instead.

08

Share what helps others

Post the conditions you found, the open fuel stop, the closed bridge. Skip the hero shot taken on private land you weren't supposed to enter. The HUB is information for riders — keep the signal strong.

Help keep it good

Quality over noise.

The HUB is only as good as what gets posted to it. The rules above are about the trail; these are about the platform itself. Skip these and you make life harder for every rider trying to find the good stuff.

Don't poach from other communities

GPX files from TET, BDR, ACT and other established projects belong on those projects' platforms, not here. They've put the work in to maintain and steward those routes — duplicating their content fragments the community and undermines their stewardship. Unless you ARE the route maintainer, leave their tracks where they belong.

Don't post duplicate locations

Before pinning a new location, search the map for the area you're about to mark. If somebody's already published the fuel stop, viewpoint or workshop you were going to add, save your effort and leave a review on the existing entry instead.

Write your own descriptions

Don't copy-paste descriptions, photos or other public content from elsewhere on the web. Write from your own experience: what surprised you, what to watch for, what made it worth the ride. Original content is what gives the HUB its value.

Fill in everything you can

Empty fields make it harder for the next rider to find your content. Add country, category, difficulty, season — anything that helps the filtering, helps the search, helps the right rider land on your post. The more complete the data, the more useful it is.

Describe your events properly

When you publish an event, give riders enough to plan a weekend around it. Dates, location, route, accommodation, what to bring, what skill level. Events that look half-finished get half the attendance — make sure yours looks good on the page once it's published.

Don't use the HUB as an ad channel

The HUB is a community-content platform, not a marketing shop. If you're selling something, get in touch about a proper Services listing or a sponsor partnership — but don't slip product pitches into routes, events or the social feed.

Quality over quantity

Rushed GPX recordings full of GPS spikes, blurry photos, three-second clips with no context — they all dilute the signal for everybody else. If you wouldn't show it to a friend, don't publish it. One great route beats five sloppy ones.

Ride like the trail
depends on you.

Because, quietly and without complaint, it does. Welcome to the HUB.
