Music:

AMPED RIDERS: Amped Riders is the team of athletes with physical disabilities that represents Adaptive Action Sports. So, instead of being a team of athletes that represents a city or a company, the Amped Riders team represents a socially beneficial non-profit organization. We also represent the ideal that, with the proper motivation and support, a person with physical disabilities can still pursue their passion for action sports. We ride to inspire and to be inspired.
