VIDEO: The Line – A Documentary About Female Riders

Mountain biking is gender neutral. Neutral in that there is no physical reason why one gender can participate and not the other. But the balance of male and female in terms of participation in what we do is hugely skewed towards the male. This has lead to strategies such as women only events and rides, with the laudable goal of attracting more women into riding bikes, to videos like this one.

The Line: The Courage To Get There is, in the words of the film makers, “…a short documentary film series about the determination and courage of high performance female athletes, who excel in adventure sports while shaping these sports for future generations of female athletes.”

What Mark doesn’t know about social media isn’t worth knowing and his ability to balance “The Stack” is bested only by his agility on a snowboard. Graphs are what gets his engine revving, at least they would if his car wasn’t electric, and data is what you’ll find him poring over in the office. Mark enjoys good whisky, sci-fi and the latest Apple gadget, he is also the best boss in the world (Yes, he is paying me to write this).
