ABOUT
BEAR DEVELOPMENT TEAM was founded in 2011 in Santa Cruz, CA by Stu Bone and a committed group of 10 team riders. In 2013, Julia Violich and Chris Burnham joined Bone at the helm of the program. Together, they built the program into the development platform that it is today.
While BEAR’s racing results and development track record is impressive, this team believes that relationships make good things happen. We feel a strong sense of gratitude towards our teammates, sponsors, directors, and supporters. BEAR maintains a focus on fun, awareness of other and personal growth driven by values and goals.
