Vinny Armstrong & Robin Gooms kiwi women pushing new boundaries red bull formation, utah There are few sports that are more dominated by the highlight reel of failure than extreme mountain biking. Yet there are a group of Kiwi women who are not just amongst the best but leading the way. The penultimate organization that sets the benchmark of extreme Mountain biking focus on two kiwi women’s who show as clearly as it is possible the Kiwis can fly! Twelve of the best women's mountain bike freeriders have been pushing new boundaries in Southwest Utah as the third Red Bull Formation event saw "spectacular" progression as the likes of Hannah Bergemann and Camila Nogueira helped elevate the sport further and New Zealand's Robin Goomes threw the first-ever backflip at the event. After the first two events advanced the sport to exciting new levels in the women's arena, the third event saw 12 of the planet's best female riders chosen by judges to carve out thrilling new lines in Utah where they dug out brave lines down the dusty course before freeriding down the mountain. There were three dig days, one rest day - where they found community in each other and industry mentors - and three ride days, where the mountain was host to the gnarliest ever women's MTB freeriding. Founding organiser Katie Holden revealed: "The progression witnessed was spectacular and truly marks a turning point for women's freeride mountain biking. We have seen a tremendous amount of confidence from the riders. From tackling steep drops to choosing lines that played to their styles and incorporating tricks, we hit a major milestone." Following the final runs, athletes voted on the rider who ignited the sessions and "brought the spice" to the progression session with Argentine Nogueira receiving a trophy to mark the accolade. She enthused: "Winning this award is the perfect end to an epic event. My goal was to challenge myself with a daring line, one that would challenge my courage due to its exposure and where I would need to stay calm under pressure. I truly believe everyone riding today deserved this honour as they are my friends who continue to push and inspire me." Kiwi Goomes' historic backflip line started at the top Scissor Drop then ran through looker's right to end in the Snake Pit, the lower portion of the course that has a series of jumps and features.
