2020 All Mountain Pledge

We take recess seriously.

So should you.*

We’re getting back to what outdoor activity is all about: sweating, suffering, and sacrificing your way to hard-earned happiness. And if you’re the crazy kind that runs ultras, falls off rocks, or paddles bone-crushing rapids for sport, you might just be like us.

Read the Pledge. If you dig it, go do it. 

*Unless you take yourself too seriously. There’s no room for that out here.

I will go above and beyond. 

I will only partake in this crazy sport I love, because I love it.

And I will quit when I quit loving it.

I am an ambassador of the outdoor community.

As such, I will do my part to take the “ass” out of ambassador.

No matter how goofy somebody looks, I will not mock.

But I will mock myself. Often.

I will show respect to everyone I see with a wave or smile or nod.

Maybe even all three.

If it’s not returned, I will not shake my head.

Because I do not know what’s going on in theirs.

I will be inclusive.

Even of the exclusive.

I will encourage the beginner, the professional, and everyone in between.

I will not be intimidated by those who have come before me, nor will I intimidate those who come after. 

I will place joy above performance, use my fingers for peace, not profanity, and I will focus on the scenery more than the scene.

I will take care of my outdoors, just as it cares for me.

As nature transforms me, I will not return the favor.

I will believe in positive vibes as much as power-to-weight ratios; good karma as much as good form.

Whatever my jersey or bib may say, I know we’re all on the same team.

And when I’m suffering the most, I will remember that this is not life or death.

Even if it is my life.

I will go above and beyond.
