Dynamic Motivation MTB

2026 Where We Are Now – 15 Years On 💚🚵

As we wrap up our 15th full year, it's hard not to reflect on just how far this journey has taken us. There have been plenty of challenges along the way, but through it all we've stayed true to our vision—and we're still here, doing what we love.

Over the past 15 years we've built what we believe is one of Australia's largest junior mountain bike development programs, creating opportunities for thousands of young riders to learn, grow and fall in love with mountain biking.

Because of the volume and variety of programs we deliver, our instructors gain an incredible depth of experience. Peta has now surpassed 3,500 hours of face-to-face coaching, while a number of our instructors have each exceeded 1,000 hours—an extraordinary level of experience in our industry.

We've also helped more than 100 riders progress through our instructor pathway to gain their PMBIA qualifications, with many going on to coach alongside us and inspire the next generation.

Our Stromlo Shuttle Service has earned a reputation as one of the best in the industry.

We've been honoured with three ACT Tourism Awards, and were proud finalists in the Outdoors NSW & ACT Awards for Best Outdoor Education Program.

Most importantly, we've welcomed thousands of participants through our coaching programs, camps, tours and shuttles.

While we're proud of the awards and achievements, what means the most to us is the community we've built—a place where riders of all ages, backgrounds and abilities can challenge themselves, support each other and share a passion for mountain biking.

To every staff member, coach, instructor, volunteer, rider, parent and supporter who has been part of this journey—thank you. Your passion, trust and commitment have made Dynamic Motivation what it is today.

Here's to 15 incredible years... and to the trails, friendships and adventures that still lie ahead. 💚🤘 More reflections coming soon!

Year 15 – Continuing the Momentum (2025) 🚵💚

Fifteen years in, and the momentum just keeps building.

Every new generation of riders continues to raise the bar, inspiring the next. As our coaching evolves and our community at Stromlo grows stronger, it's incredible to see what can be achieved when people are supported, challenged and encouraged to believe in themselves.

2025 was another year filled with unforgettable moments—another amazing Bungarra Camp, riders stepping outside their comfort zones, new instructors joining the team, and more fantastic race results from riders who have come through our programs.

One of the highlights of the year was being named a finalist in the Outdoors NSW & ACT Awards for Best Outdoor Education Program. To be recognised alongside ACT school outdoor education programs and some of the industry's leading providers was an honour and a testament to the quality, passion and dedication of our entire team.

Behind every ride, every camp and every success story are the people who make it happen. This year our incredible staff reached new milestones, contributed more hours than ever, and received well-deserved recognition through our annual awards. Their commitment, enthusiasm and care are at the heart of everything we do.

Looking back over the past 15 years, we're proud of the riders we've coached, the leaders we've helped develop, the friendships we've seen grow and the community we've built together.

This anniversary isn't just about celebrating where we've been—it's about looking forward to where the next 15 years will take us.

Thank you to every rider, family, instuctor, staff member and supporter who has been part of the Dynamic Motivation journey. Here's to the adventures still to come. 💚🤘

Year 14 – Following the Path (2024) 🚵💚

By 2024, we'd found a formula that truly worked—and we simply kept following the path.
From the very beginning, our vision for our junior programs has been about far more than teaching kids to ride bikes. We've always wanted to build a community where young people develop confidence, resilience, friendships and leadership skills that stay with them long after they leave the trails.

That community continued to grow throughout 2024. We welcomed more riders, trained a new generation of instructors to replace those moving on to new adventures, and watched our racers continue to feature at the front of events around the country.

Our iconic Bungarra Camp also continued to evolve, creating even more opportunities for young riders to challenge themselves, build lifelong friendships and make memories they'll never forget. Every year, the standard of both riding and coaching continues to climb, and it's incredibly rewarding to watch.

A proud highlight for the year was seeing Duncan represent Australia at the Enduro World Championships—another milestone that reflected years of dedication, hard work and the strength of the pathway we've built together.

Behind every successful program is an incredible team. Our annual staff awards remain one of our favourite traditions, recognising the drivers, instructors and support crew whose passion and commitment make Dynamic Motivation what it is. They inspire hundreds of riders every year, and we're grateful for every one of them.

Looking back, 2024 wasn't about changing direction—it was about continuing to build on strong foundations. The momentum keeps growing, our community keeps getting stronger, and we're excited to see where the trail leads next.

14 years in, and we're still following the path that started with a simple dream—to inspire people through mountain biking. 💚🤘

Year 13 – EWS Tasmania (2023) 🚵💚

2023 was another year of raising the bar.

As our coaching programs continued to evolve, we invested in developing more instructors and helping every rider reach their potential. It was incredible to see each new generation of riders pushing the standard even higher than those before them.

One of the year's biggest highlights was Duncan qualifying for the Enduro World Series. Mic travelled with him to Tasmania for the Australian round, where he lined up against some of the world's best riders. It was a proud moment for our whole Dynamic Motivation family and the beginning of an exciting international racing journey, with Duncan going on to compete in additional EWS rounds across Europe.

Off the bike, Chelle and Mic had the honour of representing the ACT at the Australian Tourism Awards in Sydney, celebrating another milestone for Dynamic Motivation and adventure tourism.

Meanwhile, our riders continued to achieve outstanding results closer to home. Dynamic Motivation athletes and kids from our coaching programs featured prominently on Superflow podiums across multiple categories, proving that consistent coaching, commitment and passion produce outstanding riders.

Looking back, 2023 was about far more than results. It was another year of seeing riders grow in confidence, coaches continue to develop their skills, and our community become even stronger.

From Stromlo to the Enduro World Series, 2023 showed just how far the Dynamic Motivation journey could take you. 💚🤘

🚵 Year 11 – Back on Track (2021)
While COVID was still part of everyday life, 2021 was the year Dynamic Motivation really began to recover.

Mountain biking had boomed during the pandemic, and with so many people discovering (or rediscovering) the sport, our coaching programs, school holiday programs and camps were in huge demand. Session after session sold out as families embraced the outdoors and the trails.

As restrictions eased, riders from Sydney once again made the trip to Stromlo, and our Stromlo Shuttle Service was busier than ever. Stromlo had become a destination, and it was fantastic to welcome so many visitors back to Canberra.

Our race team also returned to competition, enjoying being back at events after a disrupted 2020. Off the bike, they continued training together in our gym, building the strength and fitness to support their riding.

Always keen to try something new, we also started having fun with DJ (Dirt Jump) bikes, introducing night sessions at theMelba BMX Track. It was another opportunity for riders to develop new skills, challenge themselves and, most importantly, have a great time on their bikes.

Another highlight was receiving our second ACT Tourism Award for Adventure Tourism. While the online presentation wasn't quite the same as celebrating together at the traditional awards dinner, we were incredibly proud to once again be recognised as one of the ACT's leading tourism businesses.
Looking back, 2021 was a year of renewed confidence. Our community was growing, our programs were thriving and it felt like we were finally building momentum again after the uncertainty of the previous year.

The future was looking bright once more. 💚🚵
