There's a mix of returning and new crew of riders taking part in women's freeride mountain biking progression session Red Bull Formation this year in Virgin, Utah. From what you'll see below, a ton of progress is being made and these women are sending it in the desert!
Veronique Sandler was unable to make the trip due to travel restrictions, which means that first alternate Camila Nogueira will be one of the eight athletes competing.
All talented athletes, each killing it with their own respective styles. No model/influencer athletes here. Good to see the sport finally moving in a direction where talent and dedication beats out looking pretty and getting the most likes on the gram.
@rrolly: instagram is chill, what’s not chill is allocating the small amount of female sponsorship funds in the industry to whoever pleases the superficial male the best on the gram.
Its only the second year of doing this and most of the lines would have won the first few Rampages. The progression is so accelerated.
Also Vinny's whips are real good
I didn't know this was going on. My GF is a new rider (from ultra running) and we were thinking about going out to SW Utah this weekend for her birthday.
Buffin the old line won’t score any fan points. Get your backs into it and build some new shit. This can’t seriously be a group decision to just buff the old line? On the worlds stage? So I take it next years the same? And what about ‘23...? Same again? Ya yuh lost me.
And if they had built all new lines: "Yeah, well... These are just baby lines. If they were riding the REAL lines from last year it would actually be impressive..." - Pinkbike comment section.
Is this part of the Felt Series like?
Just saying.
