Video: If She Can Do It - Online Documentary Premiere

 Why don't women wear full faces?

 People stoked on entry level stuff is rad... And women getting into mtb and stoked about it is even radder. Pleased don't get me wrong. But Pinkbike, why don't you hunt out women who throw down on a regular basis and feature them? Chicks who, no matter what they look like, are really riding and not just in it because their boyfriends or crush or whatever is doing it??? Why do you refuse to feature actual women throwing down on this site? I know they're out there... I see them at my local hill. I rode with some in Moab. I know there are loads of women who are in this to just ride, and ride hard. Why won't you feature those women in addition to videos like these? It's easy: go to your closest hill, search out the chick throwing down and jump on a chairlift with her. Ask her a few questions about her, get some video and slap it on PB. Done! Isn't that what this site is supposed to be about? These are the burning questions in my mind as a female rider. Please don't think I don't support this cause or that I hate watching the guys' vids... Because neither of those is true at all. I love both, I'm just asking why we can't have a bit more content featuring chicks who throw down.

However, despite my desperate search for non-beginner female mtb videos, Sweet Lines is something I can support. i have to give mad props to Ms. Sweet and everything she does for our sport. Is there anywhere I can donate to help support this program?? Thanks in advance.

 nice.. thanks.. now cause of this my girl is out riding my bike.. and im in here cooking n doing dishes....

 There are a lot of dude MTB videos that are awesome and get people stoked, for sure. But I think this video helps get girls stoked to ride because it shows how unintimidating hitting jumps and drops are and they see that if other girls can do it, they can do it to. Just like the one girl said that once it's a bunch of girls, all the excuses fall away (like, that guy can do it because he's stronger, faster, etc.).

 Thanks Kat for pushing women's biking.

I've been riding for 18 years, including a history in DH racing. It's great to see how far it's come as there were not a lot of women when I used to race. Next year I'm looking forward to getting into some coaching and giving back, especially to women, both young and less young. It has been such a positive influence in my life, as an adolescent, and I would love to be the positives influence for young girls out there to show them that it's totally cool to be beautiful, strong and rip it up on a bike. Biking to me, has always given me this feeling of accomplishment with each ride, something that I feel is important for our youth; to give them purpose.

Thanks again and I look forward to the announcement for next years event so that I can take part and hopefully lot's of other women will watch this video, get stoked and also want to join in on the fun.

 It's a real shame that there is a need for separate movie for chicks only. It would be rad to see them in one of the big titles, but then again there would be huge difference between men and women. Anyways... keep it up!

 I always feel like a bitch because despite encouraging and liking riding with other chicks I still kinda wanna kick their asses & be the best... I guess I've just gotta keep that attitude in check deep down hahaha. This video is so the opposite of that mentality which is good to get women into the sport and encourage them to progress.
This video made me really happy to watch and made me want to go ride! but instead I'm 18 weeks into a friggin concussion and just have to spend day after day sitting on my ass in hopes that at some point it'll get better
So cool to see the Mother/Daughter ripping it together! I wish my mom would ride a bike....

 From a girls pov, I didn't give a shit about the editing, or whatever else you guys picked at above. I loved every second of it. It made me realize that, yes I can do things I don't think I can. The whole Mantra of 'If she can do it' sums it up perfectly. I see my guy mates doing things and never imagine myself to be as good as them, because they are more skilled, fast and all round better riders than me. But if I was riding with some girls, and saw them do it, it'd be like yeah, now I know it can be done by me. It made me want to ride my bike, and I loved seeing women who have been doing it for years still kicking ass on their bikes. Thank you pinkbike, thank you ladies and thank you Mark Brent for continuing to film women on their bikes. I do agree that it would be nice to see other videos of women, but this will take time, for now, I have a smile on my face after watching it

 My husband says I look weird but I am glad to see that I am not the only female mountain biker rocking the pink hair! LOL!

 Gals or guys, it doesn't really matter who there for. But these types of events are great for the progression of our sport. In a male dominated sport, it is so good to see ladies getting out there and pushing their personal limits on two wheels. My hats off to these gals who are out there just having a ripping good time. You show what this sports is really about laughs and fun. Good job to all that participated. Hope to see more gals out on the trails. Really enjoyed this vid.

 VOY!!!! that's so cool to have that, i wish i could take my wife to one of those camps, it's really hard for me to teach her the ways of mountainbiking, first of all it's my wife, second i'm not a girl... A girl learning from a girl it's the best way... they have their own ways to ride, us man, if we can't jump something the right way we can always get away with a bit of muscle to pull the bike up or something like that... i know it's wrong but we have this advantage girls don't have, and there is no better way than a girl to teach them the right way... Well done! Hope those clinics turn in to a common thing around the world and in no time we will have more girls riding...

 I like to see womens gettin in the sport. It's nice to see more girls on the trails.
There is only one thing that is in mind when i see a video like this. Why is there no Pro-Freeride Girl in Movies like Where The Trail Ends or Follow Me? Imagine a girl shredding like Matt Hunter does. It would be so cool.

I often watch those videos and go out and try to get as close as possible to the skills they have and everytime i see such a video, there are no womens. I guess this is the reason less girls do this sport and it's also the reason they don't give that much into it.

Short: I like girls on MTBs but i don't think they will go big if there is no girl in one of the big movies.

 One of the values of videos like these is not just showing the skills and appetite for the sport that these women posses, but it also demonstrates a simple thing I learned a long time ago in the action sports world: women are frequently better instructors (and this is coming from a man).

Typically, to the outsider or the person low on confidence, the bro-bra and testosterone-charged attitude of male instructors can intimidate and affect the learning curve. Women instructors take a different approach, and are far more supportive. Yes, a broad generalization, but it's something I've seen in a number of outdoor sports, be it mtbing, kayaking, snowboarding, etc.

Having met a few of these women pros in person, they never fail to impress me with their insight and intelligence. Look at their accomplishments off the bike: Darcy Turenne is stunning and truly brilliant; Lorraine Blancher is just about the most beautiful woman in the action sports world in my books; she rides stylishly and fearlessly, has an amazing attitude, is completely humble, and rips the mountains Winter and Summer.

 Awesome work, very cool! Great to see more girls and women getting into mountain biking.

 Huge respect to the coaches and coaching, but not enough can be said about access. The beginner-ish riders from the first half of the video look more confident and technically capable than like 80% of my large, nationally competitive college cycling team. And it comes down to lack of access to good, legal trails--especially freeride trails like those showcased here. Good for you if you have a private ranch or secret trails, but that's not going to grow the sport. Not cool, California, "birthplace of mountain biking."

 I dig. More girls on bikes!

 i love the run pretend ridding

 You want these girls to be Pumped to ride their bikes! PUMPED!

 why cant each world cup race have a dance party after awards??

 interviewer: " what do you think of women on freeride"
little girls: " it´s awesome we don´t ride cross country anymore"

 Ok I'll be the first to speak my mind. Ugly chicks and mediocre riding. Title 9 blows and the wnba is a charity case. PC people are liars...

 As one of the peeps who helped build that old couse in 05' at Hemlock I got to say great work ladies! I think you need another purpose built course to help showcase your awesomeness!

 Wish we have this kind of camp in Indonesia just for girls. Awesome ride ladies!

 Good job Kat! This is great!

 It's great that women are becoming more involved in the sport, but that was a boring 'documentary'. If you want to attract more women to the sport, you have to do better than that!

 That was awesome. Great coaching leading to rapid progression, ver cool stuff

 got to 9 mins and saw about 20sec of riding these girls are good good at comparing themselves to men good at yoga good at talking good at messing around good at crying after they fall could not tolerate this any longer.Why do women want to compare themselves to anyone? Most of these ladies are doing stuff I cant do but really where is the riding? Most guys are not trying to be better than ladies and dont care if a girl can beat them. Maybe they should stick to driving the shuttle.

 I wish my friends would get stoked when I do an x-up or a one hander

 I remember seeing Kat at a local race a few years ago, I can't believe how much she, and many other riders, of course, have improved over and years.

 that girl with the redbars needs to hit my line

 you know its bad when girls who are just learning this stuff have better bikes than me....

 This is so awesome!! It would be so sick to have something like this on the east coast.

 That was really rad! Cool to see such a large group of ladies killin it!

 ...And this is why we get made fun of, the riding isn't bad but the interview parts; ouch!!

 When was the kitchen moved outdoors?

 So awesome.

 sweet! That's all i have to say. SWEEEET!

 Its midnight and after watching this i just really wanna ride, but i cant.

 Duthie Hill! Its cool to see more girls riding but I'd rather watch girls getting rowdy at Exit 27 than some beginners hitting a few gaps. But I guess this video isn't really meant to be geared towards me.

 Theres no fun sport without you ladies! Well done and keep cycling!

 Welcome to the new most viewed video in Pinkbike history.

 VOD!!!
