Our Mission is to provide youth with projects that create a sense of accomplishment, an understanding of hard work, the skills to be a leader and the power of team work.
Our Story
From our sketches on a map to the dirt in your tread, we bring mountain biking to life. One Track Mind calls upon nature, volunteering, education, and exercise to create opportunities for more people to experience the transformative power of mountain biking. We partner with regional experts creating opportunities for local youth to develop skills to excel on the trail and in life.
For us, mountain biking transcends the trail. From our first time rolling up to a trailhead years ago to countless races around the country, the passion for mountain biking and the outdoors has become a driving force in our lives. Focus, perseverance, and a sense of adventure are born on a mountain bike and ripen into values that make us more complete people. With One Track Mind, we return to the source to bring mountain biking to the masses through dedicated trail stewardship.

Growing Up On The Trail
I’ll humbly admit that local McCall Idaho trail days were simply a source of socialization when I was younger. My 8-year-old self wasn’t a fan of long hot days with miles upon miles of walking, but at least my friends were there. As the years passed, my trail day...
