Women’s “Sugar Showdown” Mountain Bike Event Returns to Seattle with Expanded Format
Multi-day clinic & competition adds optional ride event, new categories and sponsors for 2013
Seattle, Washington—Sweetlines, the women-focused, woman-led mountain bike coaching service today announced the second annual Sugar Showdown Seattle, a two-day freeride mountain bike event for women and girls, to be held at Duthie Hill Park in Issaquah, Washington, on July 6-7, 2013. Last year’s inaugural event, featured in filmmaker Mark Brent’s documentary film, If She Can Do It, was the first of its kind in the northwestern United States. This year, the Sugar Showdown will again include one day of coaching and one day of competition but will also feature expanded coaching hours, a new Friday evening event, additional competition categories, and a new title sponsor, Diamondback Bikes.
Kicking off the event will be a new meet & greet ride at Duthie Hill Park on Friday evening, July 5th, with a crew of pro coaches from across North America. The coaching clinic on Saturday will include an additional hour of coaching, offering riders a full five hours to learn freeride skills such as jumps, drops and wall rides in a safe, supportive and fun environment. With a ratio of one coach for every six students, the clinic is set up to give students concentrated personal attention before Sunday’s competition, which students are automatically entered in (participation is optional).
The competition this year will feature additional categories based on age and riding ability, such as the “Sugar Cubes” category for 10-15 year old girls who have been riding mountain bikes for a minimum of 2 years and are ready to start jumping or to take their jumping to the next level. The pro coaches judging the freeride competition will be looking at form, style and creativity in both amateur and pro participants’ runs, but the event will reward a range of accomplishments. New awards and prizes this year include “Most Improved” and “Most Supportive Rider”—awards which highlight the event’s cooperative, community-focused approach to competition.
“One of the good things about competition is that it pushes you to that next level of riding,” said certified coach and Sweetlines founder Kat Sweet. “That’s what the Sugar Showdown is about: developing a range of skills—what we are calling ‘ridestyle’—while also competing, but in a fun and supportive way.”
Diamondback Bikes has signed on as a Gold Level Sponsor for the spectator-friendly event, and other sponsors include Trips for Kids Seattle, G-Form, Deity, Gregg’s Cycles, Lumberyard, Woodinville Bicycle, Somersault Snacks, Dakine, and Cascade Designs. Videographers have been tapped to create several videos of the event.
Sugar Showdown Seattle is the third dual clinic and competition event hosted by Sweetlines this year, following the Sugar Showdown Lumberyard held in Portland, OR, on January 27 & 28 and the Sugar Showdown Santa Cruz held in California on April 13 & 14 as part of the Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival. Sweet is also considering future plans to host a Sugar Showdown in New Zealand.

Washington, the MidWest Women’s Mountain Bike Clinic in Brown County Indiana, and Women’s Weekend at Ray’s Indoor Mountain Bike Park in Cleveland, OH and Snowshoe Bike Park in West Virginia.
LISA THARP
Lisa Tharp has been riding bikes for 13 years. She was always athletic growing up, but it wasn’t until her early 20′s that she found mountain biking and a lifetime passion. Racing competitively on the downhill scene was her top priority for the better half of a decade, and during that time Lisa won a collegiate title, several state and regional titles and made the US World Champs team in 2007.
Today Lisa is still very involved in the cycling industry. She works for SmartEtailing, a e-commerce company that helps bike shops develop their website and web presence. She’s an IMIC certified coach and is thrilled to help people of all ages advance to their next level of riding. She also volunteers her time locally to educational programs and developmental mountain-bike programs as well. Lisa and her husband Jimi are stepping out into a new venture with their custom surfboard shaping company, Stache Surfboards.
What I like most about riding a bike: Creating friendships and memories with people. Growing as a person thanks to all the opportunities and challenges biking provides. What I like most about coaching: Watching women specifically accomplish a goal and overcome a fear in the process. The gratification on their face is priceless and courage is a trait that can grow.
Best advice for better bike skills: You’re body follows your eyes; look at where you want to go. And, take a deep breath and relax.
Current Philosphy: A lifetime is full of different seasons and now that I’m in my mid-thirties I’m realizing the joy of being a beginner again and embracing new challenges. I’m learning the ins and outs of starting a company and I’m a humbled newbie out there in the ocean trying to catch a wave—never stop growing:)
LINDSEY VOREIS
Lindsey grew up in Portland, Oregon where outdoor activities were just part of the daily routine. She spent her youth equestrian show jumping horses, skiing, snowboarding, playing soccer, basketball, running cross country and track and riding her bike. She has a BA in Journalism from the University of Arizona, and took her skills first to sports marketing, then to the advertising and public relations world in Portland.
In 2001 Lindsey had an incredible life-changing experience on the popular television show, Survivor: Africa. Watching herself on TV caused her to reevaluate who she was and helped her redefine herself through biking and self-exploration.
Lindsey has raced many disciplines of mountain bikes since 1996 and currently handles most of the business behind The Allride Tour, a tour dedicated to promoting the mountain bike lifestyle. When home in Bend Lindsey is either teaching clinics or guiding 3-day mountain bike adventures for Cog Wild Mountain Bike Tours in Bend, OR.

She is PMBI (Professional Mountain Bike Instructor) certified as well as IMIC (International Mountain Bike Instructor Certification) certified. Teaching is her true calling. She is passionate about teaching because she knows it will vastly improve confidence and provide a better understanding of the relationship between riders and their bikes.
She has a unique style of teaching that integrates bike/life metaphors into her program and she creates confident, knowledgeable riders. She inspires women of all ages to enjoy bikes on a deeper level and loves coaching almost as much as riding epic trails around the world.
“I believe mt biking brings out one’s true colors. You can learn so much about yourself and your ability to persevere and overcome obstacles. When you learn how to progress in a physically demanding, intimidating sport like mt biking, you will have a newfound belief in your abilities and hopefully a strong desire to keep progressing. Trust me, one session with me will change the way you see mountain biking as I teach you how to give your bike life!”- LindseyVoreis
CORTNEY KNUDSON
Cortney Knudson is a Lake Tahoe local. Growing up with the 4 seasons, her winters consisted of competitive skiing at Squaw Valley and her summers consisted of competing in horse-jumping and dressage. Once she discovered cross-country mountain-biking, though, her life on two wheels began. Starting out in cross-country, she quickly became a dirt-jumper, bmx rider, and avid downhiller. Following around the bad-ass local downhillers, they brought her into the fold and she learned their secrets. These secrets were divulged after many hours of heavy shoveling towards building downhill trails and dirt jumps with these locals. She now shares her knowledge and passion for riding by coaching.
Cortney’s mission is to guide, encourage, and share the ingredients to create success with all levels of riding. She believes that whatever your mind will allow, conceive, and believe, we will achieve. Cortney teaches and competes all over the West Coast, from Vancouver, Canada to Reno, Nevada. She loves coaching and riding, whether it’s with other pro women, or on a one-on-one basis for the timid.
You can now learn how to ride like a girl, with precision and steeze. You will learn how to fly on two wheels with expertise, confidence and technical prowess. Event Director for The Little Big, a ridestyle event at the Sky Tavern Mountain Bike Park in Reno, Cortney shares her passion for the technical aspect of mountain biking by offering a woman’s-specific weekend consisting of a clinic and competition. Cortney consistently pursues her passion on two wheels and hopes.
LINDSAY BETH CURRIER
Lindsay Beth Currier is an incredibly passionate and determined 28 year old mountain biker from Granby, CT. In 2008, while recovering from extensive back surgery from a high-speed downhill bike crash in Santa Cruz, Lindsay founded Shine Riders Co. The company’s mission is to “illuminate and inspire rad female gravity mountain bikers” through online publications and women’s mountain bike events. After a long recovery, Lindsay got her confidence back at the Northstar Bike Park the summers of 2010 & 2011, where she faced her fears of risking re-injury while riding rocks, drops, and jumps. The once “retired” Cat 1 gravity racer, has a renewed desire to achieve her childhood dream of racing downhill professionally.Although not the most likely candidate physically to go to Worlds, Lindsay hopes that her wont-back-down attitude will inspire strength in other women (riders or not) and will continue to assist in gaining industry support for female coaches, athletes, and other event planners globally. IMIC certified, Lindsay will be coaching for Sweetlines and the Trek Dirt Series in addition to the many Shine Skills Clinics of 2013. Shine’s original female freeride event: Shine’s Queen of the MTN will return for its third year at a new location: Squaw Valley USA Sept 13-15, with the Tahoe Fat Tire Festival.
