Logan Bingelli is one of the 2006 Outdoor Idols seeking to inspire other teens to get out and explore the outdoors. With only 3 years of riding under his belt and 2 years competing, he is an up and coming name on the mountain bike scene and is taking it by storm.

He has been placed in the top 5 consistently and won the 2005 U.S. National Championship in downhill and overall Jr. Expert (16-and-under). Logan was nominated to represent the United States Junior Men's Downhill at the 2007 UCIMountain Bike World Championships in Fort William, Scotland, on September 3rd-9th.
How I got started Well, i was racing a lot of motocross, and i had a crapy mountain bike at that time. And my friend Tracon Kurt and i where always going out and building jumps and stuff by are house. Then he showed me a mountain bike movie. And i told my self that i have to try out Downhill racing... So i got on the internet and found a race around my area... (Bootleg Canyon) I went down and raced and loved it. So after that i had some money in the bank, and i went to a bike shop and built up my first Downhill bike (DH Gemini Cannondale) and from there i have just keep at it....................
Goals for the Future My objective in downhill racing this season is to qualify for the World Championship in Scotland for the U.S.A Junior Team. Take top 5 and World Championships. Be the overall Junior Expert Norba series Champion in DH and 4X. Win the U.S. National Championship at Vermont for Junior 4X and DH. In addition to racing, I want to be trying to get invited to some slope-style comps for more media exposure than racing exclusively.
