The Dark Horse course is no joke but as riders get more comfortable on the big features, the tricks are starting to come out. Christina Chappetta breaks down the massive course and talks to the riders to see how they're handling things.
Awesome! What a great event.. can't wait to show this to my daughter who has just started riding trails with me at 10, I hope it inspires her to want to go for a ride. Thanks and keep this content coming Pinkbike.

Thanks so much! Casey blew this one out of the park! So cool to see the ladies show up and never take no for an answer. It was always a very uplifting, supportive environment so all they had to do was play bikes.
Mountain biking for four years and hitting stuff like this. How cool to start a sport so young and just crush it. I'm pretty pumped to see where the next gen goes. Thanks to Casey and Hannah and Katie, and Vero, and Lisa and Kat and all the women that are normalizing this type of stuff. It's definitely not for me, but I'm stoked it's an option for others.
Thanks Lacy for your continued involvement and support within women’s mtb! You are for sure part of many many successful riders’ careers and lots of people can reminisce on a hilarious story or 5 with you xx
I was going to note Christina's sick guns in my post but decided that commenting on a woman's physical appearance in this context might be inappropriate. But now that you went there- yeah, she rocks it!
@Mlloyd550: I figure it's ok because I admire any human who is a good example of physical health. And I'll comment to/about any gender as long as I think (hope) that they take it in the respectful context I intend :-)
Hahah yeah the slow drop in was really playing games with our heads. As for the “upper body strength”… I literally only rides bikes in the summer. No dumbbell routines for me. I can thank my Dad’s genetics there. Cheers for the compliment
My 10-year old daughter just started jumping; this will be mandatory viewing after school today. The world needs more positivity like this video- great job Christina and PB.
Than is so much! Schedule is full these days but there was no way I was missing being here to witness this session!! So happy it all together so nicely
The camera lies sooo much for jumps, those are some huge jumps, I love the atmosphere of this event. I don't care what my daughter gets into as she grows up (bikes preferred), but the support and coming together you see at these kinds of events is what I wish for
We are so close to the states a lot of things are still imperial. Some things are actually CAD standards half metric / half imperial formulas for some things. It's weird.
@mtshakira: Words have meanings. If you start calling a drop a step down or a chair a table then it becomes harder to follow a conversation. She called it a drop afterwards. A stepdown isn't a drop and vice versa.
@SintraFreeride: “Words have meaning”?? You are taking this way too personally and seriously. How about you just use your eyeballs to see that it’s a drop and move on with your life. This is a really sad hill to die on. Time to go outside and get some fresh air man.
@mtshakira: How about making an effort to using the right vocabulary instead of saying its not a big deal when people use "alternative facts"? When did it became cool to be ignorant?
@SintraFreeride: “Making an effort to using the right vocabulary” followed with “Its”.
If you can’t see the irony in aggressively calling out people for harmless semantics while making two grammar errors in one sentence, nobody can help you. Now please stop blowing up my inbox with your irrationally angry comments.
