What is Team ABP?

Ride with our youth downhill mountain bike training and race team! Our experienced coaches will guide you through weekly training and race prep using Enduro skills, to get you ready for fast-paced descents, technical terrain, and confidence-building challenges. Meet new friends, build strength and endurance, in a fun and supportive environment. Send email to address below to inquiry and/or apply, please read all details before applying.

This is an advanced riding program, previous riding experience is necessary. Learn more about Enduro racing here.

Fees & Bikes

Team ABP is supplemented by ABP when funding is available, however, 2026 will require a registration fee, and costs for race fees, and travel. The training and coordination will be covered by ABP. However, students are expected to pay their own race entry fees (if they choose to race with the team, with Andy’s approval) and cover their own associated travel costs*.

*ABP will do our best to supplement travel costs, but is not guaranteed.

Bikes are available to students to use during the program training and races, although our inventory is limited. Our dedicated ABP youth leaders will be given first pick.

Required Equipment

• Full face helmet

• Riding gloves

• Knee pads

• Also recommend elbow pads and goggles

All Team ABP riders are expected to take part in weekly rides, camp (TBD), and team activities. These training sessions and group experiences are key to developing strong biking skills, building confidence, and creating a supportive team environment that enhances every rider’s journey.
