My passion for downhill mountain biking: a journey from fear to freedom

My personal passion for downhill mountain biking began in 2021. The beginning was anything but easy - often characterised by frustration, fear and low self-confidence. Even the smallest roots and ledges scared the hell out of me. Of what exactly? I couldn't even say. But instead of giving up, I decided to face these fears. Practise, practise and practise some more became my mantra.

There were many moments when I wanted to give up. The challenges sometimes seemed insurmountable. But giving up was not an option. Over time, I became braver and my self-confidence grew. More and more often I was able to keep up with my friends and so the fun of riding grew.

Biking gives me incredible freedom. It lets me forget about everyday life and gives me the opportunity to enjoy nature with friends and share a passion. This is exactly why I founded the Hillriders brand. I want to encourage women in particular, who may also be struggling with fears, to keep going and not give up.

Hillriders should be a symbol of courage and community. Every trail we conquer is a step towards self-confidence and strength. Together we can master this journey and experience the pure joy of mountain biking.
