#174: Mike & Eddy Dessaso (Flat Earth Adventure Club) I How can Outdoor Sports get more inclusive and accessable?

Flat Earth Adventure Club is a community
initiative focused on inclusivity in outdoor
spaces, especially with regard to BIPOC and urban
populations. They organize guided hikes, rides, climbs, community
meet‑ups, skills sharing, and discussions that aim to break down
barriers to participation in outdoor adventures. The initiative
was born out of observed gaps in support and representation for
underrepresented groups in outdoor activities. Their vision
includes building confidence, competence, and community – moving
beyond gear and consumer culture and toward a more equitable
outdoor experience for all.


They are part of a broader movement that aims to promote
social justice and inclusion in sport and
movement, campaigning to reduce barriers and broaden
access across all communities.
