League Seeks Rider Feedback After Finals
Hard Mountain Bike League is asking its community to share input on its new competition format through an online survey open until November 13.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Cycling
Hard Mountain Bike League launched a community feedback survey on November 6, 2026, following its 2026 Finals held October 24 at Avimor in Boise, Idaho. The league is asking anyone who knows the league to weigh in on the format.
Why it matters
The league says a new format improves with honest feedback from its community, and survey input will directly shape what comes next for the league. For Idaho mountain bike fans, the feedback window offers a direct role in how the sport's local competition evolves.
The 2026 Finals featured 24 riders split evenly between 12 men and 12 women across four disciplines: Downhill, Tech Climbing, Raw Slalom, and Tech Rhythm. The league has not disclosed how survey responses will be weighted or what outcomes are being considered.

Fans who want to influence the league's future competition format can submit input through the survey before it closes on November 13. Anyone who knows the league is eligible to respond, whether or not they watched the 2026 Finals.
The takeaway
Community input is shaping the next version of this league's finals, so fans who want a say in the format should respond before the survey closes. Participating now is the most direct way to influence what comes next.
What happens next
The feedback survey closes Friday, November 13, 2026, after which the league will use the input to shape its next season.
