The New Yorker Examines These Pro Women MTB’s Relationship With Crashing

It’s not often that the New Yorker delves into our world of action sports, but when they do, it’s always worth a watch. Or a read, in the case of Tanner Hall, van life, or avalanches. Just this week, director Josephine Anderson released a short film examining how pro mountain bikers Mirada Miller, Brittany Phelan, and Andreane Lanthier Nadeau deal with the act crashing. At the pro level, it’s simply part of the game, and these rides have unique ways of dealing with something so simple, yet so violent and consequential. Check out the full New Yorker story here.
