COMMUNITY OUTREACH
ADAPTIVE BIKE RIDES
Our foundation is committed to making mountain biking accessible to everyone, which is why we offer free weekly lessons to a dedicated team of local adaptive riders. These sessions ensure that all of Northwest Arkansas' trails are open and welcoming to the entire community, equipping participants with the technical skills needed to navigate even the most challenging terrain.
This is more than just riding, our program provides mentorship that bridges the gap between trail techniques and real-life struggles, empowering our students to build confidence, resilience, and independence both on and off the bike. We believe that financial barriers should never stand in the way of personal growth and adventure, which is why we provide these lessons entirely at our own cost.
Your support helps us continue this vital work—please consider making a donation or sponsoring an event today to help us keep our programs free and accessible to all.
POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE
Our foundation has proudly partnered with the Police Athletic League (PAL) to build meaningful relationships between law enforcement and the next generation through the power of mountain biking. By working together, we create an environment where young riders not only learn to navigate trails but also gain valuable skills that apply to everyday life. Just as a well-executed trail technique helps a rider overcome obstacles on the path, our program teaches students how to approach challenges with resilience, problem-solving, and confidence in their decision-making.
The PALS program is a beacon of support, fostering trust and connection between officers and youth while providing a safe, engaging space for personal growth. Through our collaboration, we offer structured mentorship, skill-building sessions, and opportunities for young riders to challenge themselves in a supportive community. Our goal is to empower these young individuals with the tools they need to develop self-confidence, discipline, and leadership skills—both on the trail and in life. By bringing law enforcement and youth together in a shared outdoor adventure, we break down barriers, build mutual respect, and create lasting relationships.
We believe this partnership not only strengthens our community but also inspires the leaders of tomorrow. Join us in making a difference—your support allows us to continue providing these transformative experiences at no cost. Please consider donating or sponsoring an event today to help us shape a brighter future for our youth.
