Why Close to Home?
Trails close to home mean more quick hits for mental health and fun. In large cities and small rural towns alike, trails enhance quality of life, provide economic benefits and create community. We know all of this because IMBA and our local partners have been making these things happen worldwide for 35+ years, and we want to make sure trails happen in more places, more rapidly.
Core Values
IMBA is committed to a values-driven culture within our organization. These values guide our commitments to our neighbors, the land, responsible riding, and sustainable trails.
Community
Our work supports communities, wellness, economies, and public lands for present and future generations. We support mountain biking communities to bring people together, to keep neighbors health, to diversify and strengthen economies, and to protect and expand outdoor spaces.
Stewardship
We share a responsibility to protect our national environment for its intrinsic value and so communities can cherish the great outdoors. We ensure mountain biking is an environmentally low-impact activity that aids in protecting and enjoying open space, and we promote sustainable trails to minimize impacts on the environment, natural resources, and wildlife.
Equity
We promote equity and inclusion in mountain biking and work toward increased trail access to ease entry into the sport. We recognize a strong community must be a diverse community- we encourage, embrace and celebrate diversity and inclusion. We want everyone to experience the joy of mountain biking.
Partnerships
Collaborations are vital to our success. We are proud to partner with trail champions to support their vision, tenacity, and journey toward more and better trails. We are inspired by working with local organizations on shared values and common goals that will change lives by building welcoming and inclusive mountain biking communities.
