Congrats To Our Partner!
We here at the CMBC are huge supporters of IMBA Canada and are sending our best wishes for IMBA’s 10th Anniversary.
From the IMBA Website:
IMBA Canada is over 10 years old!
It has been an incredible decade of advancement for the Canadian mountain bike community:
We’ve solved the issue of affordable insurance for clubs.
Trail building knowledge has progressed and clubs are educating land managers on best practices.
Local groups not only have their own tools, but some have invested in mechanized equipment and are going pro.
Our national parks have embraced mountain biking and opened the door to more riding opportunities through Parks Canada’s National Mountain Bike Guidelines.
New disciplines like enduro riding and fat biking have grown the sport and evolved mountain bike advocacy.
New technology, like that available through Trailforks.com, has changed the way we ride, design trail, fundraise, and so much more!
Mountain bike instruction has become a professionalized industry, through the Canadian-based Professional Mountain Bike Instructors Association.
We’ve seen the evolution of bike parks and flow trails, and watched the awareness of our sport grow from a marginalized niche market to one that is embraced in the mainstream.
And a new generation of riders is growing up on two wheels, thanks to programs like Sprockids, and Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day!
Mountain biking is here to stay, and so is IMBA Canada.
