Ambassador Program

Goals for the year:
I would love to mobilize a group of Duluth/twin ports femme folks who want to teach each other or learn how to do big jump lines. My dream is at the end of the season to have a Mejumpolis party featuring a party train of Broads clearing the tables together after a season of working together!

Skills you’d like to learn:
See above! And I think creating and sharing a sweet video of that would be a powerful message about the Duluth bike community being a place FOR ALL!

How do you plan to contribute to an inclusive outdoor community this year?:
A lot of my career has involved bringing people into the woods or wilderness and teaching & empowering them to feel confident. I see my role as a Conti Crew team lead as an extension of my life‘s work. I am thrilled about our intention to have a mixed gender team and with the applicant pool that came forward, that we actually have a female forward squad for this year.

Favorite spots in the Twin Ports?:
Swimming holes at Lester!

Goals for this Year:
1) Compete in the Trans-BC Enduro in Panorama, BC, Canada. Finishing the event rubber side down and safe would be good enough for me
2) Top 3 overall Enduro series in the Open/Expert Masters (40+) in the Lake Superior Gravity Series
3) Compete in at least one MTB-ultra event (100ish + miles). Event TBD

Skills you’d like to learn?:
I’d really like to improve my jumping skills, specifically better control in the air, ability to scrub jumps to control speed and maybe a few fun tricks in there too. I’d also really like to learn how to do manuals more consistently

How do you plan to contribute to an inclusive outdoor community this year?:
In addition to helping run the Conti Crew, I plan to remain involved in the Duluth Enduro Series planning and execution, whose mission is also to create a fun and inclusive environment for everyone from newer riders, folks who identify as FTW, folks who are otherwise underrepresented in the sport, etc. I also plan to put together a couple of “destination” events for groups outside the twin ports…inviting them up to Duluth and utilizing the Conti Crew to provide guided rides and hospitality.

Favorite Spots in the Twin Ports:
The "NIMBY" section of Piedmont!

Goals for the year:
I want to do more enduro racing this year and to take the Duluth Enduro Series to the next level by getting more folks out racing and having fun during our weekday races

Skills you’d like to learn:
I want to work on my jumping skills and whips!

How do you plan to contribute to an inclusive outdoor community this year?:
I want to show all riders, regardless of age, gender, ability, that the trails are for them! To do this I plan by making any event I am a part of as inclusive as possible by making sure everyone feels welcome and seen.

Favorite spots in the Twin Ports?:
The view from rock knob in Hartley! It’s right by my house and I love catching the sunset there in summer and winter!
