Evan McNeely and Andrew L'Esperance of Forward Racing have been very fortunate to receive the support of countless individuals on the Canadian mountain bike scene; both through our own development and in the creation of the team. This support and generosity is what keeps our sport going and we want to be a part of that process. We hope that this fund will encourage a young rider to get to the start line when they might not have otherwise been able to do so.

For the first year, we will award selected male and female applicants $500 each that can be used to offset travel and race fees. Please follow the link below for more details and how to apply.
