Going Faster, Further,
Higher…
The Crown Team fosters a team environment in an otherwise individual sport. Team riders will grow and learn together through their shared passion. The Team is designed for riders who want to dissect lines, fine tune body position, and build endurance, all in the name of going further, faster, and higher.
The Team will go beyond downhill; training comprehensively to become better athletes. Expect stretching, body-weight strength training, climbing, air awareness, and of course downhill riding.
We use coaches from a variety of backgrounds to scaffold instruction.
Coaching
Fostering and supporting the women’s biking community is a priority…
Crown is proud to offer several options for girls-only riding. First, a bit of arm-chair philosophy. Mountain biking tends to be a male dominated sport, which can be a barrier of entry for girls of all ages. While we acknowledge the many benefits of co-ed sports, we also believe that if separate groups are what it takes to get girls on bikes, then we’re all for it! Through biking, we teach young women to stand tall; never shrink-to-fit. Our Girl Groups are comprised of gritty, overwhelmingly positive, supportive, and inspiring young women.
There is no expectation of competition for the Team. The purpose of the Team is bonding over a shared interest. However, we will certainly be making the race rounds this year, and will enthusiastically provide support and a heck of a good time for those who choose to compete.
