Team Dirt Board Members
Team Dirt was originally founded as a bike racing team in the Corvallis, Oregon area. Since that time, we have grown into an organization that is dedicated to the preservation of mountain biking access. This includes the stewardship of sustainable, multiple-use, and purpose built trails, advocacy and education, and the promotion of responsible recreation.
Team Dirt supports urban cycling (pump track, bike park, bike paths) as well as traditional off road riding (cross-country, all mountain, and downhill/gravity trails).​
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit community organization.The Team Dirt community is open to all riders, regardless of riding-style or skill-level. Team Dirt is primarily focused on building and maintaining sustainable trails that are suitable for mountain biking, but several of the trails we maintain are also open for multi-use (hiking, running, equestrian, etc.) We host a number of trail building events throughout the year. Fundraising is performed via sponsorship, grants, member donations, and twice-yearly shuttle events at Alsea Falls.
