My name is Lib, and I’m looking to raise funds to support Ffion Pickstock to get to Hard MTB League in Boise, Idaho in May 2026!

Quite a short time frame, but I’d love to try and help raise even something small my aim is to get at least £1,000. Ffi will get a scholarship to pay for her flight. But this doesn’t include accommodation or extra travel costs. As she is only 14 she’ll also need to travel with her Mum meaning some extra expenses this cost would not be covered in her scholarship. Any extra funds would support her with any extra travel or other costs to get her there. Ffi was selected, and It will be such an amazing experience for her and would be gutting if she had to miss out on this amazing opportunity. Ffi is part of the next generation of female riders and the level of her progression is insane. She was even voted MBUK Newcomer of the year in 2024!!

Ffi and her brother Morgan started riding bikes during lockdown and they both have some incredible skills between them!! You can find her on Instagram @mtb_ffi to check out just how insane she is on a bike!

I’ve known the Pickstock family for 4 years and they all are the most lovely and down to earth people you’ll ever meet. (If you’ve met them already then you’ll know!!) Ffi is an incredible rider and the biggest shredder I know!!! I’ve watched her progress over these 4 years and for her to be selected to go out and ride at Hard MTB League is awesome, this would be such an amazing opportunity for her as a rider!

I know times are tight right now, but supporting the next generation of female riders is so important, to grow the sport and give younger girls these amazing opportunities. I’d love even if you could spare just a few quid so Ffi can make it there and have the trip of a lifetime! Ffi will also turn 15 when she’s out there so it would be such a special birthday for her :)
