The dust has settled, the bikes are tuned, and the Flagstaff Yeti MTB Team is officially rolling into our 2025 season. Last Saturday, over 60 riders and families gathered at Fort Tuthill for our annual kickoff — and the energy was incredible.
What's New This Year
We've expanded our programming in three major ways:
- Additional skills clinic sessions — we added a Thursday evening clinic for riders who can't make Saturday mornings.
- New trail partnerships — thanks to agreements with local land managers, we now have access to two new practice loops near Buffalo Park.
- Expanded scholarship fund — with generous donor support, we can offer 12 full scholarships this season, up from 8 last year.
Coach's Corner
Head Coach Marcus Delgado shared his outlook for the season: "Our goal isn't just to make faster riders — it's to make better teammates and stewards of our trails. Every rider on this team has something to contribute, whether they're podium contenders or just learning to navigate their first rock garden."
