Minimum Segment length ?

Really sad to see no response from Strava on this. With the switch over to eMTB and trying to recreate our local downhill segments is just impossible. So we are forced to record the ride as a normal MTB ride or lose the timed segments. 

Please please revert this Strava! 

did you ever try this? Did it work?

Come on Strava for mountain biking there is no reason why we shouldn't be able to create segments for the main trails at our local spots. I get there needs to be some minimum, but 500m is not it get real. 

I sympathise with you as a mountain biker myself many of the trails I ride are shorter than 500mtrs and it's very frustrating that we can't create shorter segments. Quite a few of us like to have a breather or just a chat between named/graded trails (or segments as strava calls them). I can also see where they are coming from with the amount of duplicated segments which have been created on my local trail. Each one of them require processing for times, local legends etc. Ideally Strava would create official segments for these trail centres. Maybe even impose limits on how many segments a person can create per week or month instead of increasing the minimum segment lenght.

This is still an outstanding issue for MTB. As a multiyear subscriber, this is disappointing enough for me to consider not renewing - its been outstanding for literal years

I agree the minimum should be reduced. Or perhaps have a new category of segments that is JUST for navigation and have a way lower minimum. No timing or anything like that. Just have them so they are visible and people know where to find them and how to follow. I am often trying out new trails and get lost trying to find them or when riding them as they intersect other trails.
