Gemma Corbera (ES)

Since I was very little I did rollerskating, artistic, with 4 wheels. And I loved jumping, not dancing, hehe.
I stopped rollerskating and when I was 17 years old I bought my first Rollers for the skatepark. There I started to see that there were bikes in the skatepark. One day I went to the skatepark with friends, and we went to the La Poma bikepark to see other friends.
It was love at first sight! I had never seen bikes jumping like that. From that day on I started working to buy my  first dirtjump bike.

My father didn't believe it because I had never ridden a bike or done anything.
I started from 0 to jump :) I started with Dirt Jump and going to dirt events with the guys and shows and recently I started Freeride. I love the adrenaline and the challenges. My passion is jumping.

Bine Herzog (DE)

Three years ago, Bine Herzog was on her own with her passion for MTB. She started small after-work- events to connect people. Quickly, she made friends with like-minded people and began going to bikeparks.

Since May 2019 there hasn‘t been much stopping her and she‘s been riding her bike on a daily basis. In 2021 she started riding her dirtbike.

Unfortunately, an ankle joint injury occured. Nevertheless, this didn‘t stop her either. First and foremost she‘s eager to support girls and connects them. Therefore, she annually hosts the ‚Girl Shred Event‘. Her slogan: Shred together!

From there she has grew as a force in the German XC World, becoming XC champion, cyclocross and after having children in 2015, against others advice, she was even more determined to focus on her goals, gaining a World Cup podium and participating in the Tokyo Olympics. An incredible athlete!
