Get ready to ride the wave of excitement with the Drifters Team – your passport to the next level of mountain biking madness. The Drifters Team is the perfect option for Bandito graduates or intermediate to advanced athletes that aren't quite ready for the major commitment of Nomads, but are ready to take their riding to the next level.

 

The Drifters work on the same fundamentals as the Nomads and Mavericks, but with the main focus on developing lifelong skills and friendships. Competing in races or events is not required, but highly encouraged. There are events for all levels and ability including Enduro, Super D, Downhill, and some dual slalom events. For the more serious Drifters athlete who wants to pursue this sport and eventually join Nomads or Mavericks, there will be separations within Drifters to accommodate you.
