The Sisterhood of Shred - Kickstarter

We are filming a documentary, The Sisterhood of Shred, about women mountain bikers but we only have a couple more days left on our Kickstarter campaign. We have already had the chance to film three of the women's events that happen in the United States and will be filming the fourth one - The Little Big, in a few days. We've also interviewed quite a few riders about their experiences on and off the bike but now we need to shoot with our highlighted riders to see them in their home setting. We need all the support we can get to finish this project; you can help us by checking out our Kickstarter, which ends September 23rd, and donating and sharing the project with friends.


The Sisterhood of Shred is a community of women riders that motivate each other in their daily lives but also push their personal limits while supporting each other emotionally, physically, and socially. Finding women who are freeriders, dirt jumpers, and skate park riders can be hard; however, these women use various methods to establish connections and build community through outreach using social media, videos, as well as hosting their own women’s events. Doing this allows these women a place to go where they feel accepted while simultaneously building skills, confidence, and lasting friendships which spread to these women’s other social networks. This has led to a dramatic increase in the amount of women riders who are seeking out more female oriented events and people who share these commonalities. From all walks of life and different points around the globe, each woman has different reasons for taking part in the Sisterhood but ultimately seemed to find what they never knew they were looking for; a supportive woman oriented community.

This film is a year long, full-length documentary which will highlight key players involved in the Sisterhood of Shred; from coaches to mothers, supporters to the up-and-coming riders. The documentary follows these riders through four events as well as their daily lives to examine what motivates them but more importantly, what draws them to this particular community.
