MTBO (Mountain Bike Orienteering)

Описание: I went to an MTBO meet in Värnamo Sweden. MTBO is a relatively young sport, but one that is growing fast in some parts of the world. In this video I aim to give you some info on the equipment needed and I will also take you with me on parts of the course.



Here is what the International Orienteering Federation says about MTBO: "Mountain bike orienteering is an endurance sport attracting both orienteering and mountain bike enthusiasts. The most important orienteering skills needed are route choice and map memory.

Extremely good bike handling and ability to cope with steep slopes both up and down is an absolute must for a top level athlete. As an environmental safeguard, competitors may not normally leave paths and tracks though it can exceptionally be permitted in some countries.

Mountain bike orienteering is one of the newer of the orienteering disciplines administered by the International Orienteering Federation. It started in the late 1980s at club level in countries where mountain biking was a popular outdoor sport.

World Championships in Mountain Bike Orienteering is organised every year attracting about 25 national teams." (Source: IOF, https://orienteering.sport/mtbo/)
