We proudly announce that Shingleback Off-Road as sponsor for the Rocky Trail Academy photos and Fox Superflow® event race track preview videos!
The Rocky Trail Academy junior development programme is quickly establishing itself as a major component of our events portfolio and has claimed an even bigger part of our hearts. For us it’s all about fostering the grass-roots development of the cycling sport and over the next 12-24 months we will invest even more of our time and efforts into the sustainable growth of the programme. We plan to expand the popular line-up in QLD into NSW first and our future planning will include the other States too.
Shingleback Off-Road is simply put a great fit with the programme – firstly, because it is an all-Australian company founded by a MTB riding and racing family. They are all about getting out there and having fun – just like we do and it’s what inspired the Rocky Trail Academy events. The Shingleback racks are designed to be a simple tool to get us where you really want to be quickly, safely and with minimal fuss!
Plus, we love that many of the high-profile Australian Shingleback Off-Road Ambassadors have been #rockytrailracers since their early junior days, including Sian and Kye A’Hern and Jackson Frew. We are proud that with Rocky Trail Academy events we can offer a “playground” and launch pads for talented riders like them. Shingleback Off-Road has that same philosophy, which sealed the deal.
Rocky Trail Academy – Photo sponsorship
The awesome school day on ‘rocky trails’.
Geared towards secondary school students these events are held on a Friday and not only engage youth in healthy social and active recreation but brings a heightened appreciation of nature, the environment, self-reliance , self-learning and independence, all as part of riding a bike in the outdoors. By extension, this program also engages and educates teachers and parents.
