Intense recognizes the immense potential in supporting young riders, understanding that nurturing talent at all levels is key to the long-term health and growth of the sport.
Youth racing in the United States is experiencing a surge in popularity, and this partnership couldn't come at a better time. To ensure these young athletes have every opportunity to develop their skills and compete on the world stage, strong industry support is absolutely essential.
The Outlaw Bike Team brings a wealth of experience to the table, boasting a proven track record of coaching and developing both athletes and their families for competitive success. But here's where it gets interesting: Outlaw goes beyond just race results. They focus on nurturing future leaders, instilling values like resilience, positivity, and innovative thinking. Their character-first approach is all about cultivating well-rounded individuals. This shared vision makes the partnership between Intense Cycles and Outlaw a perfect match, united in their commitment to the next generation of riders.
John Hall, the Technical Director of Intense Cycles, is particularly excited about the resurgence of downhill racing in the USA, especially with the work Clay Harper is doing through the Pro Downhill Series. He emphasizes that it's not just about honing skills on the bike; it's about instilling a deep dedication to the sport and the values that will help it flourish. The Outlaw race program excels at fostering this environment, and Hall is genuinely optimistic about the future of U.S. racing.
And this is the part most people miss... Hall believes that continued investment in young riders and teams by the industry will lead to remarkable progress in the years to come.
