Not only that, but these women are all about health and fitness and having fun.

Jolanda Neff
A professional mountain biker hailing from Switzerland, Jolana Neff goes full speed as often as possible. That fierce attitude also led her to crash while training in Pisgah, North Carolina. But that doesn't mean Jolana will be hanging up her bike. Far from it.

Casey Brown in BC
Casey Brown has an impressive list of sponsors-- that's because she earned it! Based in British Columbia, Canada, Casey initially grew up in New Zealand. Her brother Sam also competes as a pro rider, which eventually led Casey to pay more attention to her bike than competing in skiing and snowboarding (yes, she's quite athletic).
