The 2020 Misfit Mountainerds

After months of evaluation and rigorous committee meetings, we're thrilled to announce the 2020 Misfit Mountainderds.

They've been selected due to a 100% commitment to their unprofessional status and not taking themselves too seriously.

To call this elite group "brand ambassadors" is wayyyy too strong a phrase. Just look at those pictures. But they are brand amBADASSadors. #dadjoke

Read about the Mountainerds, Founding Fathnerds, and Distinguished Alumnerds. This will surely be the most entertaining thing you'll read today.

Dirty, mean, and mighty unclean. Says he’s gonna send 25 foot gaps now that he’s got a Misfit Mountain jersey. Do it!

Frank the Tank | Chapel Hill, NC

Despite not riding much, overly obsessed with MTB. At least self-aware enough to know to that none of us look as good on camera riding as we think we do. @frankie_machoman_ravage

Richard is legit. Former fire fighter, which comes in handy when you live California. @perryrides

Who has two thumbs and likes mountain biking? This guy. Enjoys the climbs as much the downhills. A big dude strapped to a long-travel Pisgah bike is a guaranteed good time. @jtreadway4x4
