In all forms of board sports we spend a lot of time talking about progression and constantly striving to improve our level, learn new tricks and stepping out of our comfort zone to push ourselves further. Of course we do this for a sense of personal achievement but there is no getting away from the media and peer related pressure to rip and shred harder at every opportunity.
For many of us girls this can be amplified by a need to prove ourselves even more and the increased personal pressure we put on ourselves to prove our worth as part of our riding community.
