Jolene Van Vugt
This girl is a bad ass. She's one of the
main stars in Travis Pastrana's insane Nitro
Circus show, the first woman to nail a back-
flip on a dirt bike ramp to dirt and the first
Female Canadian Motocross Champion.
She's hard as nails.
Ms Keerati
Another product of Instagram, Keerati is
usually being photographed wearing not
much or full leathers, helping promote
sportbike riding with MotoAmerica
Supersport star Benny Solis and Jason
Pridmore's Star School, held out at
Chuckwalla Valley Raceway.
Caroline Olsen
Norwegian Olsen has been racing in the U.S.
for five years now in the MotoAmerica Super-
sport Championship. She's had a rough run
recently, breaking up with her team and going
through a massive crash at New Jersey a
month ago. But she's fast. Damn fast, and will
be back next year for more.
Laia Sanz
There's no faster, fitter, better prepared
woman in the world of Rally than Spanish
legend Laia Sanz. Sanz is a 13-time Women's
European Trials champion, Women's World
Enduro Champion and the only woman to
ever finish inside the top-10 at the Dakar Rally
(ninth overall motorcycle in 2015)!
Kelly Yazdi
Yazdi has carved a niche in the motorcycle
community of late by putting on women's
only events, including the first all-women's
rally at the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis this year,
and always encouraging women to get
behind bars.
Melissa Paris
Melissa's name has long
been associated with going
as fast as possible. The
Oceanside, California resi-
dent has been racing at the
top level in America for years
and has Endurance World
Championship credits to her
name. She's also helping
bring the next generation of
female riders through in the
KTM RC Cup.
Ashmore Ellis
Ellis is the brains behind the
Babes Ride Out movement
that's introducing riding
and motorcycle culture to
a massive array of women.
The Babes Ride Out con-
cept takes in road, dirt,
camping, big rides, short
blasts to the bar—every-
thing—and is an important
part of the modern Ameri-
can biking scene. CN
