Casey Brown breaks down barriers in “Forward”

Canadian freerider pushes herself and the sport to new heights

Casey Brown Forward

Casey Brown has progressed the sport of mountain biking more than most other riders. Progression in mountain biking means different things to different riders, but Brown has pushed forward on numerous fronts throughout her career.

Progression has seen Brown taking on an all-male field in her quest to become the first female competitor at Red Bull Rampage. It didn’t work out in 2019, but Brown bounced back. Before she was back on the bike, she was at Red Bull Formation, helping show the next generation of female freeriders the path forward.

Brown has spent years blazing that path. From downhill and enduro racing to her freeride and big mountain riding at home surrounding Revelstoke, B.C., Brown has been quietly but relentlessly progressing her sport.

What does progression look like from Brown’s perspective? Moving Forward.

From Dakine:

Progression means different things to different people. For Casey Brown, it is breaking barriers, having a willingness to fail, and being scared but doing it anyway. From her humble roots as a child in NZ, to moving to Canada and rising to become one of the best riders in the world, Casey’s unique life story exemplifies what progression is all about. What does progression mean to you? For us, progression is…Casey Brown.
