Lighthouse Youth Projects mentor Shelly Flood also moonlights as a mountain bike pro, a full time nurse, pump track tester and part time shovel holder! Originally from a cross country racing background, Shelly has been dabbling in downhill and enduro races in Australia and overseas since after high school.
It’s not just the adrenaline of becoming airborne that attracted Shelly to downhill off road racing, it’s the undeniable camaraderie amongst riders and the atmosphere when you get a great group together that takes her love for the sport to the next level.
It’s this infectious enthusiasm for the tracks and the team that makes Shelly such a great mentor at LYP, and she’s always great to have on hand for any little scrapes and bruises if someone comes a cropper!
