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.
