Why only those that live in Southern California?

We recognize an immense opportunity to address a void in Southern California's junior XC mountain biking community by establishing a meticulously organized and skillfully managed development team. The lack of such a platform has hindered the growth and progression of extraordinarily promising local athletes who possess the potential to flourish with the right support and guidance. Our team has resolved to concentrate our efforts within the local region before contemplating expansion to other parts of the United States. By strategically honing our focus to Southern California, we aim to cultivate a foundation that will propel the junior MTB scene towards success.
