Love riding? Always looking for the next challenge?

For experienced riders aged 11-18 (born 2011-2004), AMP is a mixed bag of Enduro, XC and DH mountain biking. Riders will need to be in shape, have strong fundamental skills, and an intrinsic desire to push their limits.

RMCC’s All Mountain Program (AMP) is more structured than the RMCC Youth Revolution, and is focused on all aspects of mountain biking. AMP is geared for riders who have been in RMCC programs for a minimum of two or three years and are always searching for that extra bit of speed or constantly looking to get air off anything they can! Riders who have not previously been a part of an RMCC program will need to be vetted to ensure AMP is a good fit for them.

As an example, some of the trails we will be riding could include Reclaimer, Riders of Rohan, Black Coal Chutes, Race of Spades, T-Dub, Special K, Terminator, No Homers, Upper & Lower Stoney Squaw, Topp Notch and Star Wars.

Races:
AMP also is an introduction to Enduro Racing. AMP coaches will be supporting AMP riders at several Canadian National Enduro Series Races.

Coaches: AMP is led by Head Coach Kevin Eaton and a team of NCCP and PMBIA-certified coaches who have a wealth of coaching, racing, and riding experience. Meet the AMP coaching team.

Please Note:
Pre-requisites include a high level of both fitness and fundamental mountain bike skills. Participants must be comfortable on the trails listed above.

Please note: race entry fees are in addition to the program fee.

As RMCC provides a financial subsidy to the program fee, AMP riders are required to wear their RMCC AMP jersey at races. We are stoked to have a custom-designed RMCC AMP team jersey! The jersey is $50 and is mandatory for all AMP riders.

Volunteer Requirement & Bond:

AMP is subsidized by RMCC – parents of AMP riders are needed to volunteer 12 hours with RMCC  events and activities to make this subsidy possible. A volunteer bond of $300 is required to register for the program. Please prepare a cheque post-dated for October 1, 2022 and pass on to the AMP Head Coach at the first session. If you meet the volunteer requirements, RMCC will destroy or return your cheque. Your athlete will NOT BE ABLE to ride until this cheque has been handed in.  

The volunteer requirement for parents/guardians of AMP riders may be satisfied by participating in one of the items below:

• RMCC Executive, Event Organizer, or Committee Position
• Volunteer required number of hours at any of the club volunteer opportunities (specifically at the Casino, bike swap, Ziggy Gnarly Mountain bike race, cyclocross and road race…as these are the events that help subsidize the AMP program). Helping to shuttle riders on Bragg Creek days or on Saturday long rides that are not at the nordic centre.  A link to the volunteer site will be sent to you to and will track your volunteer hours.

In order for athletes to receive any additional reimbursements (Race Subsidies, Youth Race Fund, etc.) from RMCC, the volunteer requirements must be completed in full.

Registration:

For riders who were not part of RMCC AMP previously and wish to join AMP in 2022, please email AMP Head Coach Kevin Eaton to ensure the program is a good fit.  There will also be a parent info night on Feb 24th at 7:00 on Zoom for new riders interested in finding out more about the program.
