Be a Rider Leader

Bountiful Mountain Bike Team is a community of riders passionate about adventure, growth, and competition.

Lead or assist with small group rides during practices

Ride Leaders are assigned to small groups of student-athletes based on age and skill level. They help guide the group safely along designated trails, maintain pace, and ensure all riders stay together throughout the practice.

Model safe riding habits, trail etiquette, and positive sportsmanship

Ride Leaders set the example for proper trail behavior—wearing helmets, following trail rules, communicating clearly, and showing respect to other riders and trail users. They also demonstrate teamwork, encouragement, and respect during all team activities.

Support skill development and encourage riders of all levels

Ride Leaders help riders practice techniques introduced by coaches, such as braking, cornering, and climbing. They provide constructive feedback and motivate riders to improve while maintaining a positive and supportive attitude.

Communicate with coaches to ensure safety and consistent training

Ride Leaders regularly update the coaching staff about group performance, trail conditions, and any safety concerns. Open communication helps maintain consistency and ensures all riders receive appropriate guidance and support.

Help foster a fun, inclusive environment where every rider feels valued

Ride Leaders contribute to creating a welcoming atmosphere for all athletes—regardless of experience or ability. They encourage teamwork, celebrate effort and progress, and help riders build confidence both on and off the bike.
