Montana Ricky Rider Spotlight – Nikki Wetzel

March 29, 2019

It’s that time of the month for Montana Ricky to pick a rider to feature for his Rider Spotlight. This month Ricky picked Las Vegas’ Nikki Wetzel! This is the first female rider Ricky has done a spotlight on, and it’s a well deserved one. Nikki has been shredding for a long time now and traveling a bunch. Hit play and get familiar!

“Its time once again for Montana Ricky’s Rider Spotlight!
This month Ricky talks about all around shredder Nikki Wetzel. I personally can remember a Women’s Weekend at Ray’s MTB where Nikki was there absolutely killing it and having noticeably more fun than most people there so I also believe that she is definitely deserving of this rider spotlight!

Let us know who Ricky should pick next! – @montanaricky” – Brant Moore

Yesterday before the Vans BMX Pro Cup Men’s Final, the ladies took to the course to drop in and throw down! There were 10 riders in the women’s class and they all came out firing. In the end, Hannah Roberts found herself on the top of the podium with Macarena Perez and Nikki Wetzel taking 2nd and 3rd. Hannah has been on fire this past year or so, taking top spots at many of the contests she’s been hitting up! Awesome to see!

“In an exciting women’s competition, 15-year-old Michigan-native Hannah Roberts raised the bar of women’s BMX riding with her charging style and back-to-back trick selection, taking home the women’s Vans BMX Pro Cup first place title. In second, Chile’s Macarena Perez awed the crowd with her huge airs and high-speed lines. Ruling the park with strong riding and a unique fastplant transfer, Las Vegas’ Nikki Wetzel takes the women’s Best Trick award and joins Roberts and Perez on the podium in third.

“Riding with all these girls is amazing. The way that they push each other and stay upbeat is awesome,” an enthusiastic Roberts said. “Their positive energy helped me. I’m stoked about the win and so proud of everybody.”” – Vans

“Women’s BMX has been gaining momentum for years, but this feels like the culmination of a lot of hard work for these ladies. I’m fairly certain that this is the first major event to ever have a paid women’s class in the states and women from around the world came to take part of this historical session in an epic bowl at the Vans BMX Pro Cup.” – Ride BMX

X Games 2017 – Womens BMX Session

July 18, 2017

The ladies took the park course to show everyone they deserve a shot at X Games gold…

It’s been a long road for the girls that ride BMX and they’ve been putting in the work to get the recognition and respect they deserve. With each year, there are more girls riding BMX around the world and they’re constantly progressing.
For X Games 2017, a group of girls lead by Nina Buitrago were able to get out on the park course for their own demo session to show everyone just what they got. These girls travelled from all over the world on their own dime to prove to everyone they are willing to do what it takes to show everyone they want this. The goal of the event was to show they deserve to have their own class in the X Games next year, and there’s no denying that they’ve worked hard to earn a spot. Here’s a raw cut of footage featuring Nina, Hannah Roberts, Angie Marino, Perris Benegas, Nikita Ducarroz, Minato Oike, Ellie Chew, Elizaveta Posadskikh, Nikki Wetzel, Jesse Gregory and Tere Williams getting in on the fun.

Expect to see plenty more from these ladies in the future! They’re all kicking ass.
