OUR STORY

Biking Transcends the Trail

From our sketches on a map to the dirt in your tread, we bring mountain biking to life. One Track Mind calls upon our youth, education, and exercise to create opportunities for more people to experience the transformative power of mountain biking. We partner with regional experts creating opportunities for local youth to develop skills to excel on the trail and in life.
LEADERSHIP

Tracy Paradise

Tracy Paradise cofounded the One Track Mind Foundation in 2017 with the help of John Danhakl, a longtime friend and mountain bike enthusiast. Her vision in creating OTM was to advance the sport of mountain biking by supporting the work of youth crews in building, improving, and maintaining singletrack. The Foundation is committed to creating opportunities for young people to develop life skills and an appreciation for the sport through unique outdoor summer programs.
