Kate you're so lucky to have a dad like that!

[@classactracing]

At such a young age she is a positive role model for young women. Such an inspiration!

[@kellymckenzie4865]

First of all, I love this series and Kate is a treasure. That being said, when they said that her being 22 and winning championships is inspiring, it actually makes me think about how I'm 32 and I'm winded after the smallest amount of climbing. Hahaha, I want to see a 50-year-old winning championships.

[@SobanBhatti]

Had the pleasure of visiting Fairfax last year and seeing her WC winning bike in the museum. Beautiful town and good friendly vibes all around. Wish Kate all the best this season with the new team.

[@turnerdrywallrestoration8077]

Specialized really let the ball drop losing Kate but SCOOOTTTTT! You take care of her! She’s a special girl.

[@arun.rajput92]

Kate you inspire a lot of folks ❤

[@RGCastro7]

Kate is super awesome! Such an inspirational athlete. Beautifully paced story, too. Kudos to the production team.

[@dank3823]

First win at ft ord.... very cool. Those are my home trails. Graduated to trails all over the world. Go Cali Kate! 🤘🤙

[@ma.luzvicentaguanzon3337]

Kate you are an inspiration to everyone. Having finished a college degree at Stanford U at that and being world champion in women's mountain bike is a lifelong achievement not every athlete can achieve. Keep up the good work. Been following how hard you train and how your family supports you, including your dog.

[@AG-io5wr]

Go Kate!!!🇺🇲

[@gamby16a]

Further props to Kate for hooking her dad up with the kit and bike.

[@juanbasilgutib1662]

Such a nice entry. So cute. And how inspiring. God bless

[@adsensedd]

Moral of the story, if you take your kids outside and get into nature, if you make them curious about the world, they'll be ok.

[@madine_whits]

FRICKEN FACTS!!

[@mrsmartypants_1]

Pablo Horteg: So true. I have lived for the outdoors. I grew up in the city. My parents weren’t outdoors types at all. But I always had a strong and endless desire to be in nature. My first professional career was as a wilderness forest ecologist. My kids grew up backpacking, whitewater kayaking, skiing and snowboarding, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, hunting and fishing, mountain biking... The tribes of kids and families we’ve met who pursue these adventures with lust - especially the whitewater kayaking and mountain biking communities - live better. Are better. Almost uniformly the kids are happy, successful, healthy, love life. They do well in school. Are fit. Aren’t plump, pale basement rats playing video games 6 hours a day. Aren’t druggies. Don’t suffer from the endless list of new mental illnesses so popular with much of society.

[@hobmarg]

Congrats on Albstadt!!!!!!

[@windmillcancersurvivor2568]

Got a kick seeing the Softride suspension stem on the museum Ritchey bike that Hank Djernis rode to victory in I believe the 1st World Championship at Vail, Colorado. He had a young teammate, Thomas Frischknecht if I remember. I still have a Softride on my Diamondback Axis TT that I raced in the 90's. We're proud of the American gals tearing up the World Cup so far this year!

[@nataliepanyawan9]

Amazing ! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@janettesherman5011]

LEGEND!!!

[@jameshood1928]

A smart, dedicated athlete, and now world champion.

[@CyclingwithCole]

Amazing woman. I race in the SoCal league. Straight inspiration and steez from kate

[@AppleJack76]

Very jealous of Mr. Courtney. Never take for granted one second, ever, with your kids. ~Grieving dad. Love is forever.~

[@caperider1160]

I'm your fan!

[@leonardobertoli5851]

She is a force of nature

[@jasonwong6369]

Love the video. How great would it be if Marin opened up more trails to mountain biking?

[@dudeonbike800]

See my rant above!

[@juangomezmendoza8892]

What is the song after the intro?

[@bryanelenbaas5105]

Kate should come to Traverse City, Michigan Nov. 2nd for the Iceman Cometh race. Emily Batty and Chloe Woodruff have made the Iceman scene. It is the largest point to point mtn bike race in the world with 4500 racers. Come and kick some butt!

[@manabiker]

IF you do Kate bring a Gravel Bike, Lots of Drafting, a Gravel bike won the men's last year.. This year will be a lot more gravel bikes, Winner stayed in 46 tooth ring whole race.

Name of the song at 1:25?

[@xergurbanomagpantay218]

This is actually my dream to do,i just wish that my family will support me.

[@heladar]

She reminds me of Miley Cyrus so much xD Beautiful Woman with a great attitude and extremely cool and supportive Dad!

[@rebeccamclaren97]

Awesome video. It's certainly a *massive* plus if you live at the foot of a mountain, or even a hill... or even within twenty miles of one.. Where I live it's so flat and the only place you can ride is on the road 😞 It doesn't stop me getting my mtb out but I know I'd be a much better rider if I could use my skills more often.

[@owenvermeulen1231]

Okay, Okay, I'm 4, Okay...... haha!

[@johnmtyler]

Song from 1:20 onwards....???

[@Justin_Yung]

John Tyler wondering what the song is to I really like it

[@gustaveprins8207]

Me too

I tried shazam but nothing worked

[@gcartes26]

@@Justin_Yung sabes que canción es?

[@CyberdyneSystemsSkynet]

The guitar riff reminds me of Reckoner by Radiohead but that's not the song.

[@CyberdyneSystemsSkynet]

Can we have a video on what her father does for a living, where he went to school, what he went to school for, how many hours/week he worked, his advice for people who want to get to where he is. Because I would watch that because I'm finishing my 2nd degree in IT, done grad school have been first in last out the door at work since I was 16, working weekends and I'm getting nowhere after more than a decade.

[@samhart1884]

Bro I made the video at 5:20

[@lazib008el5]

her roots are pretty simple. rich girl from Marin County. what is kind of ironic. most of those trails she rode on up at Mt. Tam are now off limits to mountain bikes. One can thank the rich woke liberals of Marin County for that.
