​
. Identify as a progressive and leading change event within mtb. We want to build a community of passionate riders who seek out responsible adventure and wilderness riding, engage with trail building and feel compelled to give back to the mtb scene.
​
. Be the "cleanest" mtb event on the calendar in terms of primary environmental impact.
​
​
We will do this through:
​
Incredible riding.
Highly visual marketing.
Consistent communication across all channels.
