IMBA's International Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day celebrates the life
of Jack Doub, an avid teenage mountain biker from North Carolina who
had a true passion for the sport from an early age to the time when he
passed away in 2002. The Jack Doub Memorial Endowment provides the
event funding with additional support from CLIF Kids. Additional
assistance for the celebration is provided by Trips for Kids (tripsfor
kids.org), an organization that has been helping disadvantaged kids
discover mountain biking since 1988. Trips for Kids chapters nationwide
make a difference in kids' lives by opening their world to mountain
biking.
