Welcome to Envision Racing!

Welcome to Envision Racing!

Envision Racing is all about developing global connections and paving the way for the next generation of New Zealand mountain bike talent. We are more than just a team; we are a tribe of riders dedicated to nurturing talent in the world of gravity racing. We're committed to creating a supportive team environment where riders can explore their potential and pursue their riding and racing desires. Who knows where they will end up! 

Our vision is to provide the environment to stimulate aspirations and skills of a modern professional athlete both on and off the track. This approach provides the grass roots support for the next generation of riding and racing talent to pave their way forward as riders and people in the cycling community. In doing this we aim to blend the culture of gravity mountain biking and the spirit of competition. Ultimately, becoming a cornerstone in the development and budding relationships between these young rippers, our supporters and those we compete alongside and in front of throughout New Zealand and the globe.

The team line up blends youthful energy, world renowned gravity racing expertise and new age mountain bike culture. The team is headed by former GT Factory Racing Team Manager, Cam Cole and VIRIS Brand NZ distributor Liam Jackson. While Cam brings decades of top level global racing experience as a former professional mountain biker and World Cup team manager; Liam brings his international racing experience and specific expertise in brand building and digital marketing to the squad.

Jonty Williamson and Cole Hulsebosch are the heart of the team bringing passion, energy and willingness to hang it all out on the bike. Both riders are competing in the under 17 category and chasing the pointy end of results.

While this team is only getting started, we are already looking ahead to building a stable program that can be a springboard for riders into the future. But first 2024. We are targeting the maybe the most scenic Downhill series in the world the New Zealand National Series covering races top to bottom of the country. This is along with supporting our riders in any overseas endeavours they choose to embark on in 2024.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to those who helped bring this project to life and help keep our wheels spinning!
