When a group of 9 women are doing laps in the Queenstown Gondola MTB park they get stared at a lot. That doesn’t matter when you’re in a pack though, it sure didn’t stop the majority of us from lapping it up for more or less 9 hours straight.

Thanks Mission WOW for giving us all an opportunity to be coached by people with some mad skills, including the Canadian Downhill champ, Casey Brown.

We nailed those quarter punches, front & back wheel lifts, and got way smoother around the berms. Mostly though, we just had a really good time. Check out www.missionwow.org: we’d love it if you could come along next time.
