Sam Acar is a certified mountain bike coach (PMBIA and USA Cycling) with a passion for helping riders of all ages and backgrounds discover their power on two wheels. She is known throughout the Northwest Arkansas community for serving and coaching with groups like LatiNitas, Pedal Kids USA, the Matthew Mark Foundation, OZ Patrol, and Ozark Bike Guides — always bringing energy, enthusiasm, and heart to every ride. Also certified as a Wilderness EMT, with SafeSport and Heads Up Concussion training, Sam emphasizes safety and stewardship while creating supportive environments where riders can push limits, celebrate progress, and find joy in the journey. As a racer with podium finishes in the Southern Enduro Tour and Arkansas Enduro Series, she understands the thrill of competition — but her true mission is building community, confidence, and stoke that lasts far beyond race day. Sam’s coaching style is rooted in patience, encouragement, and adaptability. She meets riders where they are and helps them discover what’s possible, whether that’s rolling their first trail or landing an advanced feature. A strong believer in empowerment, inclusion, and representation, Sam is especially proud to support LatiNitas — an initiative dedicated to empowering girls through mountain biking.
