Christina Chappetta caught up with some of the women at Crankworx Speed and Style to chat about where the sport is now, in their perspective, and where they want to see it go sooner than later. The groundwork has been laid and these riders are continuously pushing the boundaries of the sport as we know it. With side-by-side backflip combos already common tricks now, what is next? The sky is the limit.

A cultural barrier is all of the trolls who insist on negativity when a PB post includes a woman. Doesn’t make mtb feel fun as a woman. I wish we could just be happy for progression regardless of who it is.
