The Rocky Mountain Crew
Introducing the Rocky Mountain Crew
We’re stoked to introduce our new global ambassador program, the Rocky Mountain Crew – a network of community leaders focused on helping others progress and have as much fun as possible on their bikes. Whether it’s learning the perfect cornering technique or fixing a flat for the first time, the Crew is there to help. They are friendly faces and helping hands on the trails. And most importantly, they love to ride.
