My name is Julia Long, I am 17 years old and I live beautiful Whistler B.C. I first got into mountain biking when I was about seven doing the WORCA summer dirt camps. Over my childhood, I participated in many sports, soccer, figure skating, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing and of course mountain biking. 
The last few years before I started competing in mountain biking, I was competing in xc skiing. 
Then once I got to high school and joined the mountain bike team, I fell more in love with mountain biking. At the beginning 2015 is when I decided to commit to cross country mountain biking. I started doing local and provincial races. The past 2 years I have been apart of both the High-Performance BC team and TaG cycling team while racing National level events
