Elite Pro Crew
Our Mutt crew and the crew over at ProBuilds Mobile Bike Shop in Pennsylvania partnered for the 2021 season to support several riders who were aspiring to make some waves in the Eastern States Cup.
Now that the season is over, we are working to support several riders independently and some with the support of ProBuilds and Finale Bikers, Italy. Several of these riders are aspiring to race professionally in the following circuits: EWS, ESC, UCI World Cup. Keep an eye out for the Mutt logo past the tape.

We started working with Cam in 2020/2021 alongside the ProBuilds team and are really pumped to watch what he does this year between the tape. Cameron has been making quite the ascension in the East Coast race scene. In 2020 Cameron remained consistently in the top 5 of the pro class and is definitely someone to keep an eye on in 2021.
Valentina Roa Sanchez
Age: 18
She is currently dominating the DH racing circuit on both dirt and concrete in Colombia. She is being trained by Steven Cabellos and Rafael Gutierrez, both of which are World Cup racers. She will be traveling to the States to race with us and ProBuilds this season. They are calling her the Queen of Downhill in Colombia. Her trainers say she will be ready for World Cup juniors in a year and we intend to get her there.
"I started cycling when I was 7 years old. I really liked it for 5 years and I was doing very well when I was on the road so we tried XCO and I won national championships. I stood out in the descents and there was a cup in my city I ran the first downhill race. From that moment I fell in love with this sport, it was something incredible and I have been riding for 3 years. Every time I get more passionate and I fall more in love with it. I am already 1 year away from running the world cup."

Kajay Rooke
Age: 28
IG: @kajayy_
I'm a bit of a newcomer to the DH/Enduro biking scenes but boy have I fallen in love with this stuff! I've learned so much from the people I have met along the way, both on and off my bike. It's been a treat to have my boyfriend and the Highland family bringing me under their wings and showing me what is possible on a bike up close and personal. From the heavy hitter ladies to the shredder guys that we all hang out with, we are always helping show each other what our bikes can do. Two years ago, I had just replaced my old school Mongoose Pro hand-me-down bike with a modern full suspension and it changed the game for me. I entered my first enduro series (Eastern States Cup) finishing at a higher ranking in each race (for the 4 races I had done) then started traveling to Highland Bike park almost every weekend. From a beginner 2" drop in Arkansas two years ago to checking off features on Highland's slopestyle course, I've learned from the best friends and now am hitting bigger freeride features, feeling more comfortable on two wheels than I ever pictured possible. I look forward to continuing to learn and sharing this amazing sport, bringing more people into the industry, and helping them progress!

Age: 21
IG: @valentin.boka
My story started at 12 years old on a DHS Rocket 24". I was training and trying tricks when I finally bought a trial bike. On that bike I started to really progress with tricks. When I was 15 I finally bought my first mountain bike (UMF Freddy 2). It wasn't a good bike but I loved it. Then the Mutts sponsored me and gave me a new bike. The mountain is my happy place and although people say I'm too old I don't want to hear that. You are never too old to do what you love. RIDE ON.
