Dakotah grew up in the Midwest of the USA, in a very flat region where downhill riding was essentially non‑existent. She discovered the sport at 19 and didn’t start mountain biking until she was 22.
Off the bike, Dakotah loves riding dirt bikes more than anything. She grew up racing motocross, and it’s where she developed the vast majority of the skills she relies on today. The one piece of gear she couldn’t live without is her hardtail—she loves riding skateparks and dirt jumps. It’s her favourite style of riding, and the one that truly makes her smile the most. His future goal is to become the best version of herself: to ride freely and in the moment, without fear. She believes that if she can achieve this, she’ll be able to reach for the things she’s truly looking for.
On International Women’s Day, WBD Sports highlights how its Women in Mountain Bike initiative is turning long term commitment into concrete action. Through structural, sporting and educational initiatives, the programme continues to drive meaningful progress towards greater gender parity across the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series.
20 Endurance teams have secured WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series status, guaranteeing their participation across all nine rounds of the 2026 UCI Cross-country World Cup, including Cross-country Olympic (XCO) and Cross-country Short Track (XCC).
