OUR STORY
We are passionate mountain bikers who learned the sport like most people; we rode our bikes, overexerted ourselves behind fast guys and figured it out as we went. We crashed, got stuck in our clips, laughed, cried and had our fair share of temper tantrums along the way. Despite the occasional suffering, the rewards from a fun day with friends on the bike kept us coming back for more. And the excitement of riding a tricky section of trail peaked our interest in getting better. That desire to improve on a mountain bike led to a better existence altogether. Mountain biking brought us to beautiful locations, introduced us to new and amazing friends and we were welcomed with open arms into a community that gave us a place to fit in. We learned the power of facing fears with friends by our side and we experienced firsthand what we want to share with the world; camaraderie, persistence, perseverance and encouragement from fellow riders.
