The All Terrain Mountain Bike Challenge (ATMBC) was the first event of its kind to be held in the world and it took an enormous amount of energy and time from a huge number of people.
Trying to thank each and every soul would take at least a thousand words....so for all you people that helped in anyway to make the ATMBC an outstanding success....Thank You, you're all living legends.
With a high profile event comes the need to have an army of sponsors. The sponsors that supported the ATMBC are pioneers and worthy of great praise for taking on an event with no history or proof of past success.
The ATMBC sponsors had vision and faith in freeride mountain biking and were willing to take the risk on a first time event. You guys rock, thanks heaps.

Sponsors of the ATMBC:
Commonwealth Regional Assistance Program - government grant, Red Bull, Lifesavers, Snowy Mountains Backpackers, Kellogg's Sustain, Impulse, Wilfred's Cafe, Silvertop Snowy Mountains Retreat, Tasco Binoculars, Mitre 10, Appalachian Log Homes, Perisher Blue, Bolle Eyewear, Pom's Balcony Bistro, Snowy Helicopters, NSW Sport & Recreation, Snowy Helicopters and Snowy Mountains Television, Jindabyne Mountain Bikers Club, Jindabyne Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Snowy Mountains, Jindabyne Partnership and Mountain Bike Australia (MTBA).

Special thanks to MTBA for being able to see the big picture benefits for mountain biking and sanctioning an event that didn't quite fit into the square.
Thanks to the media who are an essential part of this awesome circle of people. ATMBC motion footage made the news on ABC, Ten, Nine and Seven networks in Australia. A half hour show has been produced which will be broadcast on Fox Sports Australia and Resort Sports Network in the USA. A video of the incredible riding and whole event has also been produced. The television and video productions are being distributed and marketed world wide. Print media has also been excellent with a seven page spread in Inside Sport, feature articles in every major Australian bike magazine and in Planet X.

Electronic media also includes multiple coverage on a list of web sites.

Finally, thanks to the riders who competed in the ATMBC. There was a fantastic vibe having you all there. In essence the ATMBC is a celebration of your individual and awesome riding skills. Sincere thanks to everyone,
