Take more friends, build more trails contest

Yakima and IMBA EU have joined shovels and wallets to introduce a new starter grant that will support a grass roots European trail project in 2014. Both Yakima and IMBA have a long history of supporting organizations and projects that benefit the places where we love to play.  “Trail projects that help get more friends and families out on the trails are a perfect fit for our involvement and support” said Yakima Europe’s Brand Director, Eric Roesinger.  He went on to add, “As one of the first supporters of IMBA Europe’s Development Fund, we plan to broaden our support as our products and brands enter Europe’s many markets.” National mountain bike associations, as well as their affiliated clubs are invited to submit their local volunteer trail project. Three lucky finalists will be chosen.  They will have three weeks to promote their projects via their social networks.  Friends, family, colleagues and total strangers who believe in their project can vote. The most liked project earns the start-up grant. Voting for finalists will run from November 8th to December1st.
