MTB Girls Magazine’s interview with Vida Lopez De San Ramon, the youngest female Elite Cyclocross National Champion from Sonoma County, California.
MTB Girls contributor Mack Lambert was at the 2025 Red Bull Joyride in Whistler, where women’s slopestyle proved it belongs on the sport’s biggest stage. Alma Wiggberg defended her crown with a flawless 91.4-point run, Robin Goomes sent massive flips into second, and Shealen Reno earned her first Joyride podium in third. The contest embodied “Go Bigger, Land Louder” and confirmed that women’s freeride is no longer an exhibition, it’s a headline competition shaping mountain biking’s future.
From local Dirt Crits to World Cup podiums, Vida Lopez de San Roman is proving she's one of the fiercest young talents in cycling. The 18-year-old from Sebastopol has claimed national titles in both cyclocross and mountain biking—and helped Team USA win gold at the World MTB Championships in Andorra.
