BUILT THROUGH ADVERSITY. DRIVEN BY AMBITION. Three and a half years ago I’d never ridden a mountain bike. In 2027 I’m going enduro racing at the highest level I can reach, and I’m documenting all of it, honestly.

Seeing what partnering looks like
WHERE YOU START DOESN’T DECIDE WHERE YOU FINISH
I found mountain biking three and a half years ago, with no family background in the sport. It began as a way through difficult times and became a passion, a purpose and a future worth fighting for.
Within a year I was assistant coaching with Ride Technics, and by early 2024 I was lead coach. In late 2025 I committed to the childhood dream: racing.
I WANT TO BE THE PERSON I WISHED I HAD WHEN I WAS THEIR AGE.
Beyond racing, Zack wants to use his platform to advocate for mental health, inspire the next generation and show that mountain biking can be about far more than results. It's about finding purpose, building resilience and discovering what you're capable of when you back yourself.LEAD COACH

Z-TEAM PROJECT
ONE RIDER. ONE CREW. ONE MISSION.
Z-Team is a rider-led privateer racing project launching in 2027, with a vision to reach the highest levels of mountain biking. Bringing together performance, storytelling and brand partnerships while creating a platform for people to be apart of the journey.
PERFORMANCE
A serious race program built from the ground up.
STORYTELLING
The work and uncertainty, documented with Eye.Of.Ty
COMMUNITY
A platform for riders and young people to find their way.
Authentic storytelling brought
to life by EYE.OF.TY
“We’d rather give everything we have to this project than never attempt it and be left wondering what might have been”
Partnering with Ty Newcomb of Eye.Of.Ty is about capturing the reality behind the pursuit. My path hasn’t followed the conventional route, and together we’re documenting all of it as it unfolds: the decisions, the uncertainty and the risks of building a future in racing with no guaranteed outcome.
It’s the story as it’s lived, not a version made for the camera.
For future sponsors, that means the chance to be part of the journey from the ground up, with your brand woven into the progression, the challenges and the milestones.
This isn’t a story about having already made it. It’s about finding out how far we can go as a team.

WHY INVEST WITH ZACK?
Imagine you are sitting at home or your child is sitting at home, struggling to find their place in the world. Searching for a purpose, searching for direction and something that makes them feel like they belong. Now imagine they find it. Something that gives them a reason to get up, push forward and believe in what they could become.
For me, that was mountain biking.
Growing up, I didn't have someone to look up to or a journey to follow that showed me what was possible. I had to find my own way. What started as a way through difficult times became a passion, a purpose and a future worth fighting for.
Now, I want my journey to become that inspiration for someone else. For the young person who discovers my story, picks up a bike and finds something that changes their life, just as it changed mine. I want to be the person that I wished I had when I was their age.
I'm building Z-Team to pursue professional enduro racing, but the ambition extends beyond results. It's about showing what's possible when you back yourself, keep pushing and have the courage to chase something bigger.
By backing me, you're investing in more than an athlete. You're investing in someone who genuinely cares about what they do, the people they meet and the impact they can have on others.
It isn’t about the raw size of the audience but about building the emotional human connection. The ability to relate and have empathy for those who struggle everyday and who you can inspire along the way.
I'm looking for partners who see that potential, believe in the person behind the athlete and want to help build something meaningful.
Because you never know who might be watching, who you might inspire, or how much your support could mean to someone finding their way.
Odd Match?
Unlikely. Not impossible
