The Line Drive Mountain Bike Academy Race Team is a performance-driven youth development program dedicated to helping riders build confidence, sharpen technical skills, and compete at a high level, ultimately fostering a lifelong love for mountain biking. Our team is built for riders who are committed, coachable, and excited to push their limits in a positive and supportive environment.

Designed for athletes ages 12–17, our program combines professional coaching, structured training, and race-weekend support to help riders grow both on and off the bike. Whether a rider is looking to get their first podium, improve their race results, or simply challenge themselves, our coaching approach meets athletes at their current skill level and helps them progress with intention and purpose.

Our Coaching & Support Philosophy

Our race team is coached by experienced mountain bike instructors and supported by a dedicated race-weekend mechanic. We believe that great riders are built from a balance of skill, mindset, fitness, and community. Every athlete deserves coaching that supports them as both a rider and a growing human being.

We coach with patience and grace. We race with heart and integrity. We develop riders and good humans for life, not just for podiums.
