#manualmonday ???? While I sit still for longer periods of time than I'm used to with this broken foot, I am reminded of my journey to get where I am. Patience has always been hard for me and this dumb injury is another lesson in patience… It's taken me over a decade of hard work to ride and teach like I do and it took a lot longer to realize my dreams. So I can sit still and be patient for this thing to heal. At least it happened dancing. You can trust me to teach you on a bike. ???????? #patienceyounggrasshopper #ridebikesbehappy #livbeyond #motivationmonday

Katy Curd is a 4X World Champion and Elite downhiller. She’s travelled the globe, riding bikes and getting some serious air time.

This season has been a tough one for Katy after suffering a head injury that caused her to take time off the bike. But her insightful posts and messages on social media has helped raise awareness to the severity of concussions. We’re stoked to see she’s back on the bike though!

Casey Brown is one chick I wouldn’t want to face on the trails. She’s gnarly like no other, and one of the coolest women out there. She’s not phased by how high the boys send it, she challenges them.

Riding for Trek, Casey is an all mountain, all terrain trail shredder who has fun and passion in everything she does.

Earlier this year, British cycling components brand, Hope Tech launched their new campaign to promote and give back to women’s cycling: HopeTech Women.

Organised rides are held across the UK to help break down barriers stopping women from mountain biking.

Follow the HopeTech Women here, and join them for a ride.

This was a fun wee line…. I'd originally wanted to ride over this roof in the Way Back Home in 2010 but the run in was a little rough for the trials bike. Was cool to finally get it in a film 6 years later 🙂 @redbulluk @cutmedia ???? – @dave_mackison #weedayout

Ok ok, Danny MacAskill isn’t a female (that we know of), but you can’t deny he’s awesome to watch. His skills on the bike are like no other, and his insane videos are enough to inspire any man, woman and child.

His feed is full of adventure, fun and everything that we love about riding bikes… not to mention the occasional bike porn pic here and there!

Follow (or stalk in my case) Danny’s front-flipping life.

This list is only a minuscule amount of the amazing women to ride and inspire. Share with us the women you follow, the ones who showcase how great mountain biking is, and the ones who make you hit those trails hard.
