Driven Film Fundraiser

This summer, Vermont’s Richmond Mountain Trails completed the first purpose-built, fully adaptive mountain bike trail network in the United States. It’s a cool place to ride for locals and a blueprint for nationwide change.

The Driving Range network demonstrates that “adaptive” doesn’t mean “lame.” Universal trails at the Driving Range trails range from green to double black. The network features a jumpline, prolines, flow trails, and more. And every trail in the network is passable and fun whether you’re on a three-wheeled bike or a two-wheeled one.

By putting accessibility front and center, anyone can come along for the ride. The Driving Range trails give adaptive riders independence—and they dish out challenge and the opportunity to progress. The network demonstrates that when trails are universally built, every rider can experience the exhilaration of exploration and the camaraderie of a day on the trails with friends, regardless of their physical challenges.

When it comes down to it, what makes us both proud and excited about The Driving Range trails is that it’s replicable. Any trail club can build adaptive when designing, constructing, or rehabbing a trail.

The Adaptive Mountain Bike Alliance has collaborated on Driven, a movie that shows how universally-built trails impact lives, from giving adaptive athletes a place they can call their own, to breaking down barriers and dismantling judgment between adaptive and non-adaptive riders.

Your contribution will help fund an impact campaign to get Driven on as many big screens as possible in the quest to build a future where every rider feels at home on the trails. It will give mountain bike organizations the inspiration and information to build adaptive trails. And, it will help disabled riders have the equipment they need to get out there.
