Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?
Β Hi, my name is Alexandra and to really understand where I'm coming from, together we need to rewind back to 2016. By this time I had been riding mountain bikes for about three years and this thing called racing had peaked my interest. I was scared to death but I thought, βwhy the hell not?β and saddled up for a few scattered races. Turns out it was so much fun that when it came time to think about a 2017 season, I was ready for full commitment. Well, as fully committed as a student midway through a doctorate of chiropractic can be - which, as it turns out, is pretty solidly committed.
2017 proved even bigger, badder and more fun that 2016. That season, I joined a small, tight-knit team based out of the Central Coast called Dsendit Racing. I committed to a loaded schedule of racing by chasing down 7 of 8 California Enduro Series events. I also threw in the Subaru Sea Otter Classic enduro and the Downieville Classic All Mountain Challenge - because who doesnβt love two back to back days of pure, mind-hive-esque, pain cave out in the mountains located in the middle of the βLost Sierrasβ nowhere. Adventure is a dangerous addiction.
2018 is looking to be the biggest and baddest year, yet. I will be taking what I learned from last season and moving up to racing with support from Specialized Bicycles in the pro category, kicking the season off with two Enduro World Series races in South America. I will also be competing in the California Enduro Golden Tour, the EWS Whistler enduro as well as a Big Mountain Enduro in Colorado and a Cascade Dirt Cup enduro in Oregon. This season I am looking for continued growth and good times not only as a rider but as ambassador of the sport and lifestyle and as an ambassador for women to get out and make a difference.
When I first started riding I never dreamed it would become such a large part of my life. I never dreamed Iβd one day be racing, I never dreamed Iβd be racing with a team and definitely not at a professional level and definitely not with product sponsorship from one of the biggest bike manufacturers out there. Even a year ago if you had told me this would happen I would have laughed and called you crazy. This bicycle thing turned lifestyle obsession has taken me on one big fat adventure Iβd never imagined for myself. Along the way Iβve met so many amazing and supportive, encouraging, fun-loving people and experienced quite a lot of beautiful, inspiring places.
Having just graduated from chiropractic school, I think it is pretty needless to say I have some massive student debt to repay. However, that is not why I'm here. I'm here because I don't want that massive student debt to get in the way of an unexpected opportunity I've worked extremely hard for; and I have no plans to stop working extremely hard (in both career and racing) in order to continue chasing something worth the unforgettable sweat, tears, scrapes, bruises, stress, laughter and community.
I am looking for financial support to help cover costs of racing and traveling through the 2018 season.
Cheers to being fearless in pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.
Live it n love it!
Alexandra
