Women in the Mountain Bike Industry Choose the Trail Less Traveled // Line Choice
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лип 2024
- Every rider sees the trail differently. Some riders look for the gaps, some for brake points, and others for corners to slap. The most creative riders find lines that others don’t even consider. Choosing your line on the trail parallels life in many ways.
Follow along as Danica Fife, Alicia Leggett, Hannah Bergemann, Linnea Rooke, and Keely Shannon tell their stories of finding their place in the bike industry. From the struggle of leaving the safer career option, mental health challenges, sexism, and being brushed off in the workplace, each woman’s path can inspire those who want to pursue their passion. Each story demonstrates how the individual navigated their way in the bike industry to create less traditional roles.
On September 30, 2022, Alicia crashed while riding. Suffering from a traumatic brain injury, she is currently recovering at a brain rehab center in Colorado. To support Alicia on her road to recovery, visit her GoFundMe page via the link below.

Women in the sport is nothing but positive. I have never looked down or different at female riders. We're all very lucky to be immersed in such a great sport in this time.
I agree. People like you make it a great sport by helping everyone feel accepted:)
Big thanks to everyone that made this film possible! :)
We are so happy to have brought this film to life. Thank you to all involved!
Yeah Danica! and Liz! and Spencer! and Alicia! Yay! Well done!
I love this so much. Mucho points for the sparkly zeb
Excellent motivation for all women mountain bikers!!!! Love the stories of different women!
Beautifully made! It’s so nice to see the stories behind these awesome ladies!
A truly inspiring film! These women show other women that there are so many possibilities and that there is nothing to be afraid of. Yes, it's a pretty rough sport, but hey... I would be very glad to see more women on the trails at my hometown. I somehow dragged my girlfriend to this sport, and she has much joy in riding her bike + learning new things. Also, every time she progresses more than me - I feel so proud of her :)
Great stories. Makes me want to go out and ride.
It's so interesting that this story (and so many others) focus on women inspiring other women. My suggestion is to not stop there -- women can and do inspire men, too. As a man, I can point to several women in my cycling journey who have been my mentors and have helped me to grow. In return I have mentored many men and women. This story also should be told. Women limiting their stories to helping other women is just another glass ceiling that needs to be broken.
I agree with this too! If I could go back and change the wording I would. I hope it inspires everyone- no matter what gender :)
From the cinematography to the storytelling, beautiful film through and through. Love this!
Great Video, amazing job! Danica, Alicia, Linnea, Hannah, Keely! Congratulations!
Great as always! Thank you folks for good quality films! Things like this encourage us little channel to step up our game. Ride on!
Get well Alicia!
So rad!! Love this. Stoked for you, Danica!
So good 😊
Well done, Danica! 🙌 love it!
This was great!
Watching this come together has been amazing. Awesome people and awesome riders!
As a man you are not allowed to comment
@@RealMTBAddict to me this seems more like inspiration to women rather than shaming of men. I like it
Absolutely love all the mini documentaries that y'all have done and this one is no exception. It's unfortunate that some of these women had the experiences they had, but their love for the sport and the passion they have to succeed definitely wasn't dulled at all. Keep kicking ass ladies!
So very cool
Love it! The essence of MTB!
Chapter One: "High Highs and Low Lows," she's my favourite 🥰
Good for you ❤ Always ride bikes
Love this 💪💥
Great flick, thanks for making this.
Loved these stories! Great to see and very inspirational. :P
I really enjoyed this film. I found it very relatable on many levels and just what I needed to hear right now. Thank you.
All are great role models in the industry, for achievement and just being good people with a passion for life. Hannah is on point, the industry will be better and benefit from more women involved at every level. Nicely done spotlight Freehub!
Amazing
Loved this so much!
What a good and beautiful short film! I like it ;)
Awesome! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Amazing 🤙
Great stories! Thanks! Inspiring!
I was shocked at the story that women are still being payed less for the same job. This the twenty first century, come on! As a man I want to see women enjoying the sport I love in their own way.😊
Well Done! Love the content. Footage of larches from angels is beautiful indeed. A truly awesome area
Fantastic! Well done!
Great film!
Loved it!
Great vid.
Wonderful!
Glad Alicia has recovered since.
Chp 3! Love seeing women in this sport! 🤙
Does anyone know how Alicia Legget's recovery is going since her brutal crash? Been waiting for some good word on PinkBike ever since I heard.
She is doing much better! Out of the hospital and making a great recovery.
@@FifeFlow Thanks for the update. You're the first one with news since I heard of her accident. Will she be back to contributing on PinkBike soon?
Amazing ❤
Everything functions properly ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Nothing was damaged in the box aside from a decal on the fork. The decal was missing a piece of a corner but I ended up peeling them off anyways. Assembly is easy BUT make sure you tune up the derailleurs. Both the front and rear need adjusting. I'd advise going to a bike shop but I opted out and put in 10+ hours with the help of UA-cam. Ended up fraying a shifter cable but all in all I learned from the experience. The Brakes work well but the front caliper needs adjusting or at least mine did because the rotor was rubbing against the pads. Make sure you swap out the seat, grips, and pedals. For the short run you'll be fine though. I've read that this bike isn't built yet for hard trails but I just need it for the city. PA has some of the worst roads and being in a mountain this was a great choice. Worth the investment!
❤️❤️❤️
This reminds me. I need to ask Astrid to make me a corgi fender!
🤟
Would have been nice if you included all these women’s UA-cam links or social media links. You make a video about them, why would you not promote them, it’s hard enough trying to find women in this sport online as it is.
Womens bicycling is classy
💪😘❤️
Loved this! #ladyshred

Weird.... I'm a dude and have a successful career. I would like to take my experience to the bike industry as I am very passionate about riding but cannot get any company to give me the time of day.
Same for everyone, it’s not isolated to women. But you will find it harder now that businesses are trying to be 50/50 gender diverse, rather than just hiring the best person for the job.
兄弟们，这谁不爱啊
😂
No customer service. Do not recommend
So basically there's no place for an introvert in this industry. Gotta be an internet star, race results aren't enough anymore lol.
What is inherently wrong with men? Nobody is stopping you from doing what you want in life.
I wouldn't go that far. I have been (and still am) a marketing professional for global brands and am an introvert.
So if a group of men made the same kind of video nobody would even watch it. They would call it sexist.
I mean, the video is based on a minority, statistically, the Mountain Bike industry has a larger % of men than women. You could do the same type of video for men in the Nursing sector, and how they have to battle the stigma or men as Childcare Educators etc.
Not sure why you're getting all pissy at a video aimed at encouraging woman to get into the industry lol.
This video wasn’t made for you.
