THE SWEETLINES JR. RACING
In 2014, Nyla Stevens (A-Nyla-Lator) and her dad came to Kat with the idea of expanding beyond coaching programs and taking the next step of promoting girls gravity riding, and so Sweetlines Junior Racing was born. We started racing in 2015 and now we have 21 girls and 26 boys ages 9 to 24 racing downhill, enduro, jumping bikes and spreading the love of shred.
The past years have been full of progression, laughter, a few tears, and mostly the love of riding.
“Being part of this team has taught me to break through stereotypes like that girls are delicate.”
-Syd-Viscous
In 2011 I founded Sweetlines with the focus of creating community, building confidence, and promoting stewardship for women and kids via mountain biking programs. My goal is to empower our athletes to rise to their full potential and to promote this exciting, growing sport. I can’t wait to see what the future will bring for our young riders! And I’m super excited for the future of women’s riding and racing. – Kat Sweet
FAST! FUN! FIERCE!
