Jake: I love mountain biking, it's so fun to go biking on all the trails in the
wilderness
you can see wildlife that you can't see while you are on a motorcycle, since you will scare them
Kevin: My name is Kevin Yackle,
I direct the Yackle Brothers team and
I'm from Cortez, Colorado. Nye: My dad has been the coach for the past four years. Jake: We got our team name
in 2011 during our first competitive racing season.
Kevin: my boys are incredibly talented, they are training daily. Jake: We are training seven days
a week, ten to fifteen miles a day. Kevin: They go out
and perform so well
that they regularly
win against talented adults
in the competitions.
it's very impressive
that they could do that at a young age. Jake: In 2010 i won my first
cross-country USA championship. Kevin: Jake and Nye both had
2012 cross-country national championships.
Jake: Also in 2012,
I won the Colorado state championship.
Kevin: They both have a state of New Mexico championship and a New Mexico
regional championship.
Jake: Me and my brother are competitive with each other. We are always teasing each other.
Nye: "I did more miles, I did this harder." Jake: "You can't win this and I did better than you in that."
Nye: "You got the easier competition."
Jake: "I did this faster than you. I did
more miles than you. I almost got to the finish line before you."
Nye: It motivates me to win against him.
Kevin: Having a young team with two young boys, we have entered an area where few
people have been and it's certainly been a challenge
seeking sponsorship and we are very pleased and
proud, that Jamis
was able to see the good things that these boys and our team have and they supported us.
Jake: I love riding a Jamis bicycle. Nye: me and my brother, Jake, have the Dakota D29
carbon hard-tail bicycle.
Jake: it is very light.
It works well during climbing and going through corners. i notice the difference
riding that bicycle from my old bicycle. it's
smoother on the trail and very fun.
I love racing for Jamis.
It has been an honor, everyone there is very
friendly and nice.
i think other people should do
mountain biking. it is very fun.
you meet a lot of nice people who also go biking. and you can do something instead of sitting at home
and play video games.
go out and see the world.
