Casey Brown and Vaea Verbeeck are world class mountain bike shredders, and hitting big jumps and sending whips is part of what they do. Queenstown is the home of the biggest public jumps in the world, known as Dream Track. The jumps that they hit for the first time are part of the new extended section at the top of the slope. Having never sent them before, Casey and Vaea invited us up to shoot them hitting them for the first time.
Vaea, Casey, Micayla, Steffi, Rachel, Tahnee, Pompon, Tracey Hannah, Katy Winton, Bex Baraona, Katy Curd, Anneke, Rae, Martha Gill, Cecile Ravanel... I could go on and on.. So many Rad women on the scene right now inspiring so many more girls to get into our sport.
So i guess we all have the Facking friends that says "It's so easy" before dropping into a scary feature. The worst part was, Bas manualed into it, Hahahaha
Interesting that Ryan says you dont need to pump with these jumps. Is that the normal way to clear big jumps like these, or is it just because of how these particular ones are designed?
Incredible - while I'm okay with drops, jumps are something I am still struggling with. Never mind something as massive as these.
Props to Casey and Vaea for the commitment and for making it look so stylish.
Ughh! It’s a baby step process but I promess to keep trying and learning. Perhaps on a slightly smaller jump to learn next time This was good enough for a first sess haha
How was that 'man-spalining'? What is was /is one bike rider and dirt jumper telling another bike rider and dirt jumper how to handle it in language we all speak. Lame comment

Casey Brown - Whats this then slut?
Good to see more girls in that sport !
I've been convinced for a while there is a style gene and female riders just don't have it....this clearly shows otherwise
These two just have bigger balls than most or what's the deal?
And I've seen plenty of female WC racing...that was kind of the point...show me a female racer doing a proper scrub...
lmao already down voted into the ground, not surprised
