Miss Cory Coffey comes on to reflect on her career as a BMX rider. She tells us about riding with the guys in the early days and finding a community of female riders on the "Women of Freestyle" forums. Cory tells us how this community paved the way for the women's competitive scene and how it lead to her world travels and ultimately competing in the X games.
Newly retired from the sport Cory reflects on this journey and shares how she plans to maintain her love for the sport through her kids and the people she coaches.
This episode was great and I loved hearing about the raise of women's BMX through Cory's eyes.
