Anyone want to share who motivates them to ride just a little bit better? Any women out there make you want to do one more hill climb or hit a double?
Mine is the obvious one, Marla Streb.

Well, riding wise it's Tyler "Super T" Klassen. Sorry he's not a girl but I just love his style. He actually makes me want to go bigger so that one day they'll be a female riding the level he does.
For a life hero in general it'll be Bono (U2).

Marla Streb for sure!!! After reading her book, my riding and the way I think about my riding has completely changed for the better :)
Katrina Strand also motivates me to ride better. Knowing and seeing what she can do on a bike is super motivating to me because when it's a woman doing all that stuff, it's easier to relate to it as being someday possible for me, too!

I saw kiara bisaro ride years ago in an xc race somewhere. she had a big smile on her face the entire time, even when cranking up a hill. that totally inspires me!

my inspirations are: danika and denise - two awesome ladies that rip the trails in different ways, both with zero attitude and wicked skill.

I would have to say Aaron Chase, Paul B. and Wayne Goss are my favourite riders to boot. They bring a BMX style to a mountain with a crazy style.
Unfortunately, I dont really know any women that inspire me. I like to see the women at Whistler learning and giving everything a try as well as the ones that rip. LG is my lady hero:P.
