2008 Loeka Team
Kathryn Henrietta Popma - Abbotsford, BC
Started Riding: 4 years ago when I liked a boy who took me biking. Pretty soon I liked the bike more than the boy and here we are.
Bikes: are a little Brodie Nemesis affectionately named "Little Johnny" and a big Brodie Devo named "Debbie"
Favorite Spots to Rip: Kamloops, the Puddle, Vedder (Chilliwack), Woodlot (Maple Ridge), and Robert's Creek (the list could go on but I'll quit there).
Season Highlight: It's hard to pick, but I'd go with dressing up as Nacho Libre and doing the CBC Ripper (hot red lace underwear, black spandex, and bright red cape included!)
Riding Accomplishments:
- 2007 2nd Pro/Elite Bear Mtn. Challenge
- 2007 4th Pro/Elite Race the Ranch
- 2007 1st Crankworx Dual Slalom
- 2007 4th Brodie Rat Race
- 2006 1st Overall Sr. Expert BC Cup
- 2005 1st Overall Sr. Sport BC Cup
Future Riding Goals: I want to race the Pro/Elite Category this year and place Top 5 and pursue a bit more Dual Slalom/4X with "Little Johnny". I'd also like to get more involved in coaching women's clinics. Most of all, I really want to ride/race in more places across Canada and the States and meet some more of the amazing people involved in the sport.
Personal Hobbies: The fun ones are snowboarding, snowmobiling (when I'm really lucky), wakeboarding, hiking, and a bit of quading. I also help coach women's clinics with Denise Britton from Freeride Dawgs and the Muddbunnies once in a while. That's a blast! This year I'll be ending my current career as a professional student and graduating with a degree in Kinesiology and Biology. Come September I hope to start my Bachelor of Education so I can teach High School science and PE.
