When it comes to two wheels Kerry isn't one to go slow. Being an 11x British Motocross champion, She sadly had to give up her dreams of becoming a Pro MX Racer. She now puts her skills to good use on a Dh bike instead of her 2 stroke. Kerry has only been riding DH properly for 2 years and has put in some solid results winning French cups last year, and coming 4th behind only WC riders with a broken Scaphoid at Les Arcs.

Kerry has now made the move to live in the Mountain Bike Mecca of Morzine and managed to get up the hill before all the tourists arrived getting some pre-season training.

 Too bad MX seems like such a dead end for fast women. Hope DH provides more opportunities for her, she clearly rips!

 She'll be a great competitive addition to strengthen the woman's field. It's getting better all the time. Best of luck to her.

 I remember watcher her race MX at Leuchers in the school persons 125cc class (I think they changed the name from school boys class just for her).

Amazing style and elegance on the bike. She would usually end up in a podium position racing against about 30 boys.

I feel like she could achieve big things on the MTB!

Good luck Kerry!

 “Sponsorship was super hard to come by in MX and it’s an expensive game!”

I’m frequently told it’s cheaper than MTB/ebikes? Surely all those people can’t be wrong?!

 It's cheaper if you're just a weekend warrior, not if you're a serious racer. Going race speed is much harder on the clutch and top end. There's track sections where pro riders are banging off the rev limiter constantly, and average riders shift up and just go slower. And that's just comparing how you ride the bike, there's also modifications that become "necessary" depending how fast your opponents' bikes are.
