Our Try-It Ride gives prospective riders in grades 5–12 a chance to meet our athletes and coaches, learn some basic mountain bike skills, hit the trails, and experience what being a Veloraptor is all about. Beginners are welcome, racing is not required, and everyone rides. Parents interested in coaching are encouraged to come learn more too!

Open the Rider Agreement, Liability Waiver, and Media Release ↗

NJ NICA permits this guest waiver for one ride only, even if the national form mentions three uses.

Finish registration

The website records your waiver attestation, not the signed waiver document. Registration details are stored in the team database and projected to a private Google Sheet for authorized ride operations.

1 riding participant(s) · 1 observing adult(s). Waivers may be completed after registration, before check-in.

This form uses anti-spam protection so real families and partners can reach the team without junk submissions.

Before anyone rides

Every youth or adult rider must complete the applicable NICA waiver and attest to it here before check-in. NJ allows the guest waiver for one ride. Observing parents do not count toward capacity and do not need riding equipment.

All riders need a suitable bike, helmet, gloves, eye protection, closed-toe shoes, and hydration. Huckwagon bikes and helmets are youth-only, day-of equipment, require advance arrangement, and are not guaranteed.
