✨ THEN WE MADE MAGIC!

One week later, it was time to do it all over again at Magic Mountain.

Stormy skies threatened both our pre-ride and race day, but the cooler temperatures were a welcome change from the previous weekend. Magic Mountain felt ALIVE with energy! Riders on the trails, teammates cheering, cowbells ringing, families lining the course and our Huskie pack bringing the excitement. ✨🚵‍♀️📣

Once again, our riders showed their strength and perseverance. Two of our new high school riders completed their first TWO-LAP race, pushing beyond what they had done before and proving to themselves that they were capable of more.

And our small but mighty team made its presence known on the podium! 🏆

🥇 1st Place — 6th Grade Boys B
🏅 4th Place — 8th Grade Girls B

But the wins we’re most proud of aren’t always measured by podiums.

They’re found in the rider who keeps pedaling when their legs are tired.
The one who gets back on the bike after a tough moment or hitting a moose on the course 🫎
- yes you read that right!
The new rider who finishes a course they weren’t sure they could finish.
And the confidence that grows every time they realize, “I CAN do hard things.” 💪

Now we have a few weeks away from race weekends, but the work continues! We’ll be hitting the trails, building endurance and strength, and getting ready for Jug Mountain at the end of September followed by another back-to-back race weekend with Solider mountains tough long climb and intense downhill then onto our final climb showing who’s Boss @ Bogus for the State Championships on October 10!

We can’t wait to see how much stronger this pack becomes physically and mentally while continuing to have FUN tackling trails together.

If you see our Huskies out on the road putting in miles over the next few weeks give them a wave 👋, give them a cheer 📣 and let them know their hard work is seen!

Thank you for continuing to support these kids and our team.

🚵‍♂️💙🐾 HUSKIES RACE SEASON IS IN FULL SEND! 🐾💙🚵‍♀️

The Emmett Huskies Mountain Bike race season is officially underway, and these riders have already given us so much to cheer about!

With races at Brundage and Magic Mountain back-to-back, there wasn’t much time for rest and recovery before it was time to tackle another mountain. But our riders proved they are HUSKIE STRONG showing up ready to 🚀 BLAST OFF at Brundage and ✨ MAKE MAGIC at Magic Mountain!

🚀 BRUNDAGE BLAST OFF

Brundage was the very first race for 11 of our 23 riders and what a way to start!

August’s smoky skies had derailed several practices, shortening our rides and even forcing us indoors. We knew we weren’t coming into that first race as conditioned as we had hope but our small but mighty pack showed exactly what GRiT looks like.

With more than 1,000 riders from teams across the state, some two and three times our size, our Huskies dug deep and tackled the dusty, hot mountain with determination.

And when those Huskies started crossing the finish line, Brundage Mountain erupted with cheers! 📣🐾💙

There’s nothing quite like watching a rider discover that they can do something harder than they thought they could.
It’s always a fun weekend getting to pre ride the course together as riders and coaches on Friday , enjoy some team bonding time with team dinner then spend the day running up & down the mountain side cheering on our riders!
Just a few short days of rest then we get to do it all again @ Magic Mountain🏔️
Goo Huskies!!

WooHoo! The 2026 RACE SEASON is officially HERE! 🐾💙

This weekend, the Emmett Huskies MTB Team heads to Brundage for our first race of the season, the BRUNDAGE BLAST OFF! ⛰️💥

The mountain will be buzzing with NICA riders, coaches, families and spectators from across our area, all coming together for what we’ve been training for. There’s just nothing quite like RACE WEEKEND!

And while this season hasn’t looked exactly like we planned, our Huskies have shown what it means to ADAPT & KEEP MOVING FORWARD. 💪

Smoky skies pushed us off the trails and indoors for part of the season, so we pivoted, trained indoors together and made the most of it. We’ve been grateful for some clearer skies these last few weeks, even while AQI and heat have meant keeping some rides shorter and less intense.

Are we exactly where we hoped we’d be with our climbing endurance and strength? Maybe not.

But are we READY? ABSOLUTELY!

Ready to ride.
Ready to climb.
Ready to cheer each other on.
Ready to tackle our first mountain course of the season.
And most importantly, ready to do it TOGETHER. 🐾

Brundage, here come the Huskies!

💥 IT’S TIME TO BLAST OFF THE MOUNTAIN! 💥

The Emmett Huskies have been putting in the work over their summer break! 🚵💙

Since June and now the official start of mountain bike season on July 1, our team has been up early, logging miles, building skills, and preparing for an exciting race season ahead.

From riding our local roads and trails, to practicing bike body balance and separation through cone drills in the school parking lot, to learning from experienced coaches at local clinics, our student athletes have been dedicated to growing stronger and more confident on their bikes.

With our first race just around the corner in August, our focus has been on building endurance, sharpening skills, and learning to ride safely and confidently on every trail. But just as important as the training is the joy of riding together. We love mixing in plenty of fun, whether that’s practicing race starts on a fun short course at The Island or simply encouraging one another along the way.

We’re incredibly thankful for the amazing community that supports us. Thank you to everyone who gives us a friendly wave 👋 slows down, or gives our riders space as we make our way to the trails. Those small acts of kindness make a big difference.

If you see a group of Huskies or one of our young riders out getting in the miles, give them a cheer! Every climb, every turn, and every early morning ride is helping build not only stronger cyclists, but resilient, confident young people.

Go Huskies! 💙🚵

This week kicked off more skills training and development for our Huskie riders. We began practice with more skills training in the parking lot Coaches set up cones and broke down side to side bike body separation, cornering and shifting for climbing. We then took those skills out on the trail. We took time to slow down and hop off bikes and walking through how to shift and what our cadence should be. We may not have got as many miles in today (although 7-8 miles minimum for most is still great work) we did a lot of necessary skill development to help our riders build confidence and safety on the trails. Each week we work on skills, try and get miles and build up endurance and confidence. As you can see our riders are working hard and it’s just pre-season! We’re excited to see our student riders getting time on their bike and it’s always fun getting to ride together. It’s a great day to be a Huskie! 💙

Pre-season is off to a great start! We tackled some trail work on our local trail. In the spring the grass grows so high we can’t see the trail plus there’s always a little soil erosion so kids and parents who could make the trail work day showed up and got to work!

We had 22 people show up during the busy end of May crazy and put time into clearing the trail so it was safe to ride. In addition to a trail work day, we had several coaches spend hours over the last few weeks volunteering their time to w**d whack, mow and dig the trail back into shape for the season. We are so grateful!

This week we were excited to finally get to hit the trail as a team! We have had an increase in our number of riders , almost double and many first time, first year riders. This is where our local trail is ideal - it allows us to have less busy trails to introduce & work on necessary skills to our newer riders. It also gives us opportunity to send our experience riders on multiple laps. We saw alot of courage as new riders took to climbing, cornering and navigating skills on a new to them trail. We heard lots of encouragement to fellow teammates throughout the ride and lots of smiles and confidence found as our riders discovered they are stronger and more capable than they realize.

Tonight was evident that we were all excited to be out on our bikes. We’re excited to be getting on our bikes together as a team and before long, tackling our in-season practices and race weekends!

Great job Huskies! Keep up the great work!

The Emmett Huskies MTB kicked off our first pre season practice with an informative meeting and skills training this week. We had several missing athletes due to spring sports wrap up conflicts but all in all had a great turn out.
As we enter into preseason NICA allows each team several practices before our official practice season begins in July. Races begin in August so we’re excited to get together as a team & begin training together!
After a brief informative meeting going over safety, trail etiquette & what to expect as we hit the trails, we broke into a couple groups to tackle bike skills. It’s always good to start the season off seeing where our riders are with their skills and experience before hitting the trails. Our first practice we set up a skills training course to go over bike body separation, braking, light hands, heavy feet on the bike and overall balance on the bike. Coaches led the student athletes through a series of skills like ‘low, look lean’ demonstrating how to come through a corner and even had some handmade features to practice rolling bikes over hills or rocky terrain. Skills training helps prepare us for hitting the trails - which we hope to do next week here in town.
We’re looking forward to a great mountain bike season and helping our student athletes have fun while developing strong mind, bodies, character and community. 💙
Go Huskies! 🐾🚵‍♂️🚵‍♀️
