Advocate

Trail systems represent complex ecosystems with diverse user groups, each harboring distinct and occasionally conflicting needs and preferences. Our commitment revolves around advocating for people, ensuring their voices are not just heard but heeded.

Without a unified and influential advocacy, the trails we’ve worked hard to build and protect could be subject to decisions by land managers that may result in limited access for bikers.

Our mission is to champion your cause, to be the amplifiers of your desires, and to safeguard your access to the trails you hold dear. Together, we work towards fostering a harmonious and inclusive trail experience for all, where your concerns and aspirations shape the future of our trails.

Build

Investing your sweat equity makes the ride even more rewarding! Many mountain bikers haven’t had the chance to participate in trail building or maintenance. While this opportunity may not be accessible to everyone, we enthusiastically invite you to join us on a trail day if you can. Not only will you contribute to your community, but you’ll also cultivate a unique appreciation for the trail you’ve helped shape, an experience few can claim.

If joining a trail day isn’t feasible or doesn’t align with your interests, please consider supporting SWIMBA through a financial contribution. Building outstanding trails demands both physical effort and financial resources, and your contribution can make a significant difference in enhancing the trail experience for all.

Educate

We understand the challenges of acquiring the skills that elevate your mountain biking prowess, and we’re committed to providing the support you need.

We organize a variety of classes and clinics throughout the year, designed to enhance your riding technique, bike maintenance skills, instill trail etiquette, and offer insights into trail building. As a token of our appreciation, these invaluable resources are available at discounted rates or, in some cases, absolutely FREE for our members.

Furthermore, we’re actively developing programs aimed at removing barriers for aspiring mountain bikers. Whether you face physical limitations or financial constraints, our mission is to create opportunities and make the mountain biking community more inclusive for everyone.
