“I went out on a limb and went to Roam Fest completely solo without knowing a single soul there. I wasn't sure if that was normal or how the weekend would turn out, but boy did I make the right decision. The community of women at Roam was so supportive, so rad, welcoming and open. It was like summer camp for adult women who love to shred. I made some friends for life, got in some incredible riding, grew and challenged myself as a rider, enjoyed some baller demos, took in the energy from some unreal scenery and am still on cloud nine after my experience.”
