The Sprockids youth mountain biking program will introduce more kids to mountain biking in 2002 thanks to the generous support of SRAM Corporation, Giant Bicycles and Ben & Jerry's Homemade, Inc.

Coordinated by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), Sprockids is a complete youth program that provides an award-winning curriculum and a variety of resources to help schools, clubs and community groups start successful kids mountain biking clubs. Sprockids was created a decade ago by British Columbia educator Doug Detwiller. Detwiller serves as the Education Director of IMBA Sprockids.

Sprockids clubs offer young people a positive and fun way to get involved in cycling while helping them to build self-esteem. Sprockids clubs lead all types of kids mountain biking events, including fun rides, skills clinics and races.
