VISION:
Phil NBL is the forerunner/leader in cycling development both for MTB and BMX as a sport and leisure activity.
MISSION:
Our mission is to lead in the ongoing development of cycling, specifically in mountain bike and BMX, as a sport and as leisure activity in and for the community by:
1. Promoting mountain biking and BMX as an environment-friendly activity.
2. Unifying bike organizations, bike clubs, and individuals under one regulating body.
3. Regulating and standardizing race rules and regulations in line with UCI standards.
4. Developing athletes both for MTB and BMX
5. Setting programs for community development through cycling.
PURPOSE:
Phil-NBL was formed to respond to the growing needs of cycling (MTB and BMX) both as a sport and a leisure activity. It has come to our attention that the development of cycling is practiced in small groups and by different individuals and that such concern for cycling can be organized and unified to work for a common goal.
Being relatively new events, both MTB and BMX are not given proper training and exposure especially in the pro category even with the talent and skills our local riders are showing. It is also one of our concerns to uplift the image of the sport and entice private companies and individuals to fund its races and events.
As a whole, our main purpose is to develop the sport and share the benefits the sport offers.
