Mission Statement
The goal of the Progressive Cycle Association (PCA) is to create top-quality events, which will promote grassroots to professional level racing (including all ages and abilities of competitors). We will provide an emphasis on fun with out of the box non-traditional as well as traditional events to actively grow the sport of mountain bike racing and participation in the United States.
A Little History
You may know Eric Carter or "EC" as his friends refer to him or you may not, but what you should know is his dedication and passion for cycling. He’s spent over two decades racing at the pro level and has garnered many world and national titles in both MTB and BMX. In addition to being a great ambassador for the sport of mountain biking, Eric brings a wealth of knowledge to event promotion as the current course builder for Jeep 48STRAIGHT Mountain Bike Series, Dual Slalom at IVCP Bike Park in Eagle Idaho And consultant/builder on many other world class dual slalom, downhill and mountain cross courses.
With EC’s experience and insight into what racers want along with a motivated passionate team, we are dedicated to bringing you the best races and memories you can get while on two wheels.
A note from EC
I have been involved with bicycle racing since 1978 with BMX and transferred over to Mountain Bikes in 1993, I have achieved on all levels of competition all over the world and look forward to transferring the experience into event promotion.
PCA is a way for me to give back to a sport that has given me so much and still stay involved on the outdoor competition level of our sport. I put on my first event in 1999 with the introduction of MT Cross at the Glen Helen outdoor MX national, and have been involved in all levels of promotion for other people’s events of all kinds since.
I look forward to bringing you both out of the box and traditional events to racers and riders of all ages, with a premium put on the fun factor.
