DJango Condino is a 16-year-old mountain biking enthusiast from Asheville, North Carolina, tearing it up in the CAT 2/3 15/16 category. He got into mountain biking when he was just 3, thanks to his dad, and he’s loved the sense of freedom and rush it brings ever since. DJango is all about pushing his limits and the thrill of getting faster with each ride. He’s got a special bond with Bent Creek—the trails where he first cut his teeth on biking—and he’s out there riding and improving them every chance he gets.

 DJango’s got his sights set on racing in a World Cup soon, but his ultimate goal? To keep biking for as long as he can, racing or not. Sponsorships help him out by easing up the financial stress of race fees and bike parts. When he’s not on his bike, you might catch him shooting hoops, hiking, or lending a hand with trail maintenance at Bent Creek to keep them in top shape for everyone.

 He’s also pretty savvy with video editing and is currently boosting his photography skills. DJango stays connected with the mountain biking community and his followers through his Instagram and TikTok accounts, where he posts about his rides and life off the bike. Driven by the belief that every day is a fresh start, DJango keeps his eyes on the future and is always ready to make the most of it, both on and off the trails.
