We surprise people in the MTB world who have gone through a tough time or are doing great things for the industry with something they’ve always wanted or some MTB gear/voucher.
#TotalStories is where we share inspiring real stories from people in our community who are either struggling mentally other physically, overcome something, achieved something, bad injury, done something for the first time etc.
We hope these stories help, inspire and encourage others.
An idea of ours so that if people visiting, racing or exhibiting felt stressed, overwhelmed or anxious they could go into our calm zone and relax and destress for a bit until they felt ok to continue or start their journey home.
We have set up a mental health support email address in which you can talk to us about anything, if you’re struggling, currently in a bad place, worrying about something, or anything else……….
You can either talk to me (Ryan) if you feel more comfortable or Sarah from Trauma Research UK who is mental health trained and have years of experience supporting people.
We try and get people out on their bikes to help their physical and mental health, we try and encourage everyone out no matter what their gender, age, race, religion etc
Kids around the UK have the opportunity to take Ted for a week and document their rides and adventures with him, as well as being documented on our social media and website the kids will also receive thank you packages from Ted.
We hope our own social rides which people can come along for FREE and we promote other rides around the country which you can join all in the effort to try and get more people out on bikes.
We’ve launched Adventures With Daisy to help encourage and inspire more young ones out on their bikes in doing so they learn more life skills while helping physical and mental health.
TotalMTB for me is a great organisation that helps give back to the mountain biking community. Helps bring awareness to something that most people can’t see within a friend or family member. Mental health is something to be mindful about. Health mind, health life.Blake Samson
Mountain biking is vital to my mental health, and I think it's rad how TotalMTB is spreading their message and building a community around this topic. It doesn't matter who you are, everyone is going through something and knowing you're understood and supported goes a long way.Mark Matthews
It gives me great pleasure to support the TotalMTB community. These guys do so much in the global cycling community to help people that need it most in an area most people struggle to talk about. I'll always be backing TotalMTB and anyone who stands alongside them.Ben Moore
