Mari's first bike as a five year old was a purple two wheeler called the "Maui Miss," and she promptly ripped off that basket on front so she could do more tricks. Those tricks led to a lot of scabs, but it also led her to a lot of freedom. Mari enjoys pretending she's still a kid by volunteer coaching with the local high school MTB team, volunteering with the CREW, and wearing funny costumes at every local race.
