Jill Kintner - Bentonville Red Bull First Ride

Jill Kintner joins us in the studio to share her story and why she's in Bentonville this week for the first-ever Red Bull First Ride!

Jill is one of the most accomplished female athletes on two wheels. Paired with her work ethic and creativity, she has prevailed in 6 cycling disciplines. Starting with BMX and turning pro by age 14, Jill set herself apart at the highest level and then made a lateral shift at age 21 to try her hand at mountain biking. Competing in 4-Cross, Slalom, then Downhill, Pumptrack, and Enduro, her career highlights could stand alone in any one discipline. Still, Jill has risen to the top in all that she has entered. From a BMX Bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic games, three consecutive UCI 4X Mountain Bike World Championships, 15 World Cup wins, 5 Crankworx World titles, Downhill World Cup podiums, Slalom dominance, Pumptrack World titles, EWS Enduro stage wins, and an outstanding 25 Elite USA National Championships across them all.

Jill is in Bentonville, AR this week for the first-ever Red Bull First Ride (Aug 7-8, 2021), a women's only EMTB clinic where Jill will personally share new techniques on and off the bike with two full days of EMTB focused clinics, including personal instruction on Bentonville's OZ Trail network.
