If you're a fan of mountain biking, chances are you might have kids who have an interest as well. Joining a team is one of the best ways to meet and learn from others, get great coaching, build camaraderie, and have an opportunity to compete. But the benefits of joining a team go beyond that according to the teens and parents we talked to, it will not only give you a boost on the trails but can set you up for success in life.

It was a fun day at Studio809 as we got to chatting with Mason and Trinity Meredith along with their Dad Shane and coaches Eric and Nick about what makes the Front Rangers Junior Mountain Biking Team and Highlanders High School Composite Racing Team so great.
