Brain Gain, E-MTBs & Inclusion: My Takeaways from the IMBA Summit #43
Manage episode 507694698 series 3590876
Last week I had the honor of giving a keynote speech at the IMBA Europe Summit in Boltaña, in the heart of the Pyrenees in Spain (a GORGEOUS riding area). In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways, how new research shows E-MTBs change riding behavior and keep more people riding longer, and why mountain biking is much more than just “send-it” culture.
From inspiring projects in Nepal, Bhutan, and schools worldwide, to women like Manon Carpenter, Evelyn from Dutch Girls on Wheels, and many others leading the way — this summit left me hopeful and excited about a more inclusive future for MTB.
Fact is: Trails connect us. Skills empower us. And inclusion sustains us.
Here's the "Neuroscience of MTB Skills Practice" Video I talk about in this episode.
Here are some of the inspiring people and links I mention in this episode - but there were SO many more uplifting connections made!
