Cross-country mountain biking is not the extreme biking you may have seen on TV. NICA
promotes a systematic approach to proactively manage the risks associated with our sport.
Injuries do happen, but our coaches and staff are trained and prepared to handle any situation
that may occur and our injury statistics are lower than most traditional school sports. Training
and preparation also include correct practice and skills involvement to prevent injuries.
All Coaches and Ride Leaders must be licensed and trained by NICA including criminal
background checks.Example of a Race Day
