Multi Terrain Bike Orienteers – MTB Orienteering – The MTB Navigation Sport   The MTBO Club Formed back in 2007, Queensland’s first dedicated MTB Orienteering club was setup to promote the sport of bicycle orienteering, encourage active participation and to organise events for club members and other riders in the urban and natural areas of Queensland.   So what is M...

🔥 Rider Profile: Joel Young (Multi Terrain Bike Orienteers, QLD) 🔥

Joel Young is no stranger to MTBO – he’s been racing for 18 years, ever since his parents first got him hooked. A former Australian MTBO representative and World Champs competitor, Joel brings serious experience into what’s shaping up to be a competitive M21 field.

He’ll be lining up against current Australian rep Will Whittington, the ever-strong Ricky Thackray, plus locals with speed and terrain advantage like Hadrien Devillepoix, Nigel Wade, and Trent Siviour. Expect sparks to fly from the very first start punch.

💬 Joel’s MTBO in his own words:

Best MTBO tip for new riders: “Go a bit slower, you make silly mistakes when you’re knackered.”

Favorite type of terrain: Urban sprint – fast, technical, and flowy.

Biggest goal for Aus Champs 2025: “No f**-ups 😊.”*

Fun fact: Joel once appeared on the game show Now You See It as a kid. His school won, though he swears it wasn’t thanks to him!

After nearly two decades of racing, Joel knows the thrill of finding flow at speed – but with such a stacked men’s field, he’ll need every ounce of that flow to chase down podium chances in Collie.
