Shred Girls Book 1 is Out! (And Some BMX Advice from a Shred Girl IRL)
SHRED GIRLS HANGOUTS
Hey Shred Girls—
It's been a long time coming, but Shred Girls: Lindsay's Joyride is finally out! It's been super fun seeing all the pictures of kids and parents reading it, bringing it to school and races, and spotting it in bookstores all over North America! (Have it or spotted it? Tag @shred.girls in a pic with it on Instagram!)
Just because book 1 is out doesn't mean anything is on pause though—it's full steam ahead with more events and interviews, and I'm having so much fun meeting so many of you! The Joyride150 launch party was such a blast, and we have a bunch more events coming up (check the calendar below).
OK, let's talk about a couple of new things. THANK YOU SO MUCH for being rad Shred Girls, Shred Girl supporters and bike lovers. You're all awesome and I am so stoked for what's coming up!
XO,
Molly (and Lindsay, Ali and Jen!)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
I love that six-year-old Leah Puttcamp's best advice for getting over scary sections on a BMX track was just so simple: "How did you get over that fear?" I asked. "Because I practiced." she said.

ABOUT SHRED GIRLS: Lindsay's Joyride
An empowering new series from the cyclist who runs Shred-Girls.com is guaranteed to give readers an adrenaline rush--and the confidence girls gain from participating in sports. It's time to ride and save the day!
Lindsay can't wait to spend her summer break reading comics and watching superhero movies--until she finds out she'll be moving in with her weird older cousin Phoebe instead. And Phoebe has big plans for Lindsay: a BMX class at her bike park with cool-girl Jen and perfectionist Ali. Lindsay's summer of learning awesome BMX tricks with new friends and a new bike turns out to be more epic than any comic book--and it's all leading up to a jumping competition. But some of the biker boys don't think girls should be allowed to compete in BMX. Now it's up to Lindsay, Jen, and Ali to win the competition and prove that anyone can be great at BMX.
