Northstar-at-Tahoe mountain resort and Giant Bicycles are pleased to offer a special grassroots program that reaches out to competitive mountain bike athletes eager to promote the soul, passion and genuine love for the sport.This program will provide a great box of tools to help competitive athletes in California and neighboring states reach their full potential at local and regional mountain bike race events. Selected athletes will have the opportunity to purchase a Giant bicycle, Northstar-at-Tahoe Mountain Bike Park Season Pass, Team Jersey and other fine swag benefits at a preferred package price.

We are looking for humble athletes who will be great ambassadors in the expert level categories with riding styles from downhill to endurance for the Northstar-at-Tahoe and Giant Bicycle brands, who are approachable and knowledgeable, and who are passionate about converting all walks of life to the sport of mountain biking. We look to support athletes who are driven when it comes to achieving goals, helping the community, conquering obstacles, and relishing success.

To apply to the grassroots sponsorship program we would like to hear your definition of mountain biking and competing. What defines you as an athlete and a mountain biker? Submit a cover letter along with a resume to help us learn more about your passion and goals for the sport. In the resume, please outline races you have competed in along with your accomplished results. Email your resume and cover letter information to Justin Swett at justinswett@hotmail.com.

 Curious to see how big this select group will be... A grassroots effort to sell more bikes or to build a race team? I'm not bothered either way, you just see a lot of this these days.

 I run a bike racing team myself (Team SDH) and it can be tough because the quality of rider I've noticed has gone down over the years. (I've been riding since the 1990's) Anyway keep in mind "grassroots" means you still have to pay for product, you're just getting a discount but it's ALOT better then nothing and if you get good you can move up to better deals and free stuff.

 check out your local races, get a license, and let 'er rip! Doesn't matter how good you do at first, just go for the experience. it's so rewarding to just cross the finish line at a DH race, you'll get so stoked that you'll become addicted!

 northstar has a few scatterd across the season and there is a race in Monterey ( Sea Otter Classic) the good thing about the northstar races is that they are drop in races, it cost $30 to race but they are worth it and super addicting just like the guy said above you will get additcted
