The hard women taking on Red Bull Hardline 2023

Before the rain and winds scuppered racing at Red Bull Hardline, a group of six women were preparing to take on the notoriously difficult course at DyFi Bike Park. Timed runs may not have happened, but all the women had their chance to test themselves on the track during practice.

Jess Blewitt made history last year by being the first woman to try her hand at the course. This year, she was joined in Wales by five more racers and freeriders. Together, they push women’s mountain biking to new levels.

What’s Red Bull say about

Red Bull Hardline is known for putting 30 of the world’s best and bravest male riders to the test, as they bid to tame the world’s hardest downhill mountain bike track.

Before the main event was unfortunately cancelled due to extreme weather conditions in the Dyfi Valley, the ninth edition of Red Bull Hardline saw six of the best women mountain bikers push new frontiers on a course deserving of its intimidating reputation.

Initiated by Red Bull athlete Tahnée Seagrave and Jess Blewitt – the first ever female to take to the Red Bull Hardline track in 2022 – the days leading up to the 2023 event saw some of the most talented and fearless female riders including Cami Nogueira, Hannah Bergemann, Vinny Armstrong, Louise Ferguson and of course Tahnée Seagrave & Jess Blewitt take on sections of the notorious course for the first time.
