Amy Morrison is a born competitor. After a youth spent water skiing and being a Division 1 pole vaulter for Clemson, she found mountain biking. The perfect storm of timing, talent, and work ethic had Amy join the pro enduro ranks in a few short seasons. She has a pile of race wins to her name, including National Champ and most recently, winner of the TDS Enduro.

More than a racer, Amy is a teacher, a coach, and an advocate for a healthy lifestyle that includes riding bikes. She's hooking the youth on bikes and coaching newer riders. Beyond winning races, she has a focus on the mountain bike community as a whole.

As much love as Amy has for the sport, mountain biking is better off with her in it. Hang tight as Amy sits down with Brad Howell to discuss her journey through racing and what the future may hold.
