Athletes ride bicycles off-road on trails through fields and forests, mountains, and deserts (Moularde & Weaver, 2016). Multiple factors influence youth participation (Bogage, 2017) in organized sport (Jellinek & Durant, 2004). Parents or guardians facilitating youth sport participation (Harwood & Knight, 2015). Mountain bike participation tends to rely upon grassroots organizations to advocate for access to facilities and resources (Buning & Lamont, 2021).

The focus is on mountain biking from the CSO members’ perspectives.
