FLY RACING PH

Within the heart of the Philippines’ vibrant mountain biking community, Bans Mendoza stands as an inspiring figure, both literally and figuratively. Arguably one of the country’s top mountain bikers and personalities in the sport, he has taken the brand Fly Racing PH to new heights. Alongside Tena Mendoza and their exceptional team, they have not only created a championship-winning identity but also fostered a growing community that embodies integrity, humility, and a real passion for the sport. They set the standard, all the while building a brand that rivals all the other brands, some even much bigger and more “experienced” in the local scene.

LEADING BY EXAMPLE

At the helm of Fly Racing PH, Bans leads the rider team as their head coach. With unwavering dedication and a commitment to excellence, he consistently guides his team to the top, not just through his words but through his actions. He epitomizes what it means to be a leader, leading by example on and off the trails, and demonstrating to the rest of the mountain biking scene the true essence of leadership.

The ethos of Fly Racing PH and its community mirror the integrity of character and humility demonstrated by its leaders. Mendoza once remarked to our content head Carlos, “For people to be honored, some must forego the honors,” a sentiment he lives by each day. He places the sport and the community above personal recognition, embodying the selflessness that defines true leadership. In fact, knowing Bans, he would be completely uncomfortable about being featured this way– that’s why we do it for them and their team.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

Among the standout members of Fly Racing PH is Nammi Gardoce, a formidable force in the Philippine mountain biking scene. As one of the country’s top enduro riders and arguably the best female racer, Nammi consistently dominates races, citing Fly Racing PH’s training and support system as key advantages. Her aspiration extends beyond personal success; she dreams of being part of a more engaged community where more women can thrive in the sport. She also envisions setting up professional-level camps exclusively for women, recognizing the importance of gender inclusivity in the growth of mountain biking.

Nammi’s journey represents more than just individual achievement; it symbolizes a movement towards greater gender equality and representation in mountain biking. Her determination to pave the way for future generations of female riders speaks volumes about her character and dedication to the sport.

REGIONAL REPRESENTATION

Raul Tabil, hailing from Cagayan de Oro, is another integral part of Fly Racing PH, representing the brand in Mindanao. Grateful for the team’s support, Raul is driven to excel as an ambassador for the sport and to nurture the mountain biking community in his region. With over a decade of experience in the national MTB scene, Raul’s ambition is to mentor the next generation of racers, particularly those from regions outside Metro Manila.

Raul’s dedication to growing talent and promoting the sport in regions beyond the capital exemplifies Fly Racing PH’s commitment to inclusivity and community building. By empowering riders like Raul, the team is helping to expand the reach and impact of mountain biking across the country.

LEADING THE WAY

Fly Racing PH’s commitment to excellence is evident in their multiple wins at the recent Patiis Enduro race, with both Nammi and Raul securing 1st place in their respective categories, showcasing the team’s dominance on the trails. At the same race, the legend James Sardea’s pole position in the 50 and up category further highlights Fly Racing PH’s diverse talent pool and competitive edge.

With a championship culture, a progressive team, engaged leadership, and world-class products, Fly Racing PH is undeniably the team to watch in the Philippine mountain biking scene. As they continue to inspire, empower, and push the boundaries of the sport, Fly Racing PH is shaping the future of mountain biking in the Philippines and beyond.
