BLK Beetles Community Vibes

Zero Tolerance: We ALL came here to build fellowship and express our love the outdoors. With this said, we have ZERO tolerance policy towards harassment, in any form, discrimination, and hostility.

Wellness is Done Better Together: We will remain as a pack. This is not a race but an experience through nature. Be prepared to stop if huge gaps start forming.

Like any crew, if you see someone you never met, say hello and ask them how they are doing. We ALL have amazing stories! So take the time to meet a new crew member each time. Remember, this is YOUR community too. So let's grow and nurture a DOPE wellness community together!!

Respect for the Nature: Help us protect and honor the trails by leaving no trace.

Our Core Values: BLK Beetles is built on our four core values:

1. Tribute
2. Liberation
3. Wellbeing
4. xFuturism

Let each of your outdoor experiences empower, inspire, and give love to the community and the world.
