Our Team is locally run with governance from USA Cycling.  This sport is not run through LBUSD.  However, racing is billed as “High School Mountain Biking” and integration with local schools is dependent on school administration.  Some students at other schools receive PE credit.

The races we attend have Cross Country, Enduro and Downhill options.  Our practices are aimed towards Enduros but we have kids who race Cross Country and Downhill as well.

Yes.  However, we want this to be your sport of choice.  Once we prove to you that there is a real training program with real competition you will see the value in this sport.  Your riding and fitness will progress and you will want to stay with it in the off-season.  That said, if you are still a multi-sport student let’s talk about how we can make it work for you.

All skill levels are welcomed.  Practice will be separated into different skill levels and you can progress at your own pace.

There are no cuts; everyone who tries makes the team and can race.  If you commit to the Team, we will commit to you.  You will become faster and more fit over time after riding with us.  We strongly believe that developing fitness, skill, and a love for mountain biking in student-athletes is much more important than winning medals.

Aside from equipment, your total dues for the season will be $500. Plus races fees range anywhere between $40-$80.

If finances are a challenge for you, please talk to us about scholarship opportunities.

This is structured like a school sport.  You will train and progress and test your skills and fitness against other schools.  You will be proud to represent your school in competition.  We want to encourage sportsmanship, school pride, and teamwork.  Racing will be expected, but we will provide the training necessary to get there.

All sports are dangerous.  We understand the dangers unique to this sport and USAC provides insurance and risk management training to minimize incidents.  Coaches are given classroom and on-dirt instruction.  In addition there are strict duty of care guidelines for working with minors.

We are an equal opportunity team. We encourage all girls to come out to participate, compete and exercise their skills on the trails. We will have female coaches and leaders providing expert instruction to both the girls and boys team members. Practices may likely have both boys and girls, but the competitions will be gender specific.

The season runs from Jan-June. Races are held during the same time period. Practice will be held 3 times a week excluding race weekends.

The Enduro races will be held at the following locations: Vail Lake, Bear Mountain & Snow Summit. There will also be races in Fontana.  At this time, travel to the races will be in personal vehicles and carpools. Practices will be held in Laguna Beach.
