Our mission at SheJumps is to plan events that get women psyched on the outdoors. In the last year, we've put on two movie premieres in the Salt Lake City area ("Catch Us If you Can!" all-women ski movie) and just this last week's "Women of Dirt: Awesome Land" all-women mountain bike movie. It's our goal to bring women together to get psyched on sports, meet new girls to hit the trails with, and enjoy a good film.
After these last two successes, plan on seeing more!
But a little about our mountain bike premiere: "Awesome Land: Women Of Dirt" is a unique look into the world of Downhill Racing, Dirt Jumping and Freeriding. This film looks through the eyes of the wondrous women that have helped grow the sport of Gravity Mountain Biking with their strength and courage. The movie celebrates the mountain bike while celebrating the women who love them. A beautiful and energetic film that opens a window into an awesome world. For more about the movie, visit www.awesomeland.com. Thanks to Bones Over Metal for providing us with the film!
The event was held at the coolest venue (if we don't say so ourselves)—Brewvies Pub in downtown SLC. Movies, beer (if you're legal), rad biking footage, friends—and swag! We like to make our events fun, including the infamous SJ pogo challenges for swag (sponsored by Flybar). We threw out bike tunes, ride clinics, gift certificates from local shops, bike tools—all sorts of things. Thanks so much to our sponsors!
For us, the best part was meeting new faces and talking about bike rides to come! Thanks to all of our volunteers—special thanks to event planner Re Wikstrom—and all of our supporters for making this event happen. Stay tuned for another movie premiere in the fall to celebrate the upcoming winter season. To put together group bike rides, get on our social networking site www.shejumps.ning.com.
