The gnarliest woman in freestyle motocross joins the podcast! UNLEASHED is stoked to welcome 31-year-old action sports pioneer Vicki Golden from El Cajon, California. In the exclusive interview with The Dingo, Danny, and Brittney, the three-time X Games gold medalist details her rise to fame as a gifted woman in a male-dominated sport.
When Vicki Golden fell in love with motocross, the sport offered no female role models or professional athletes. The California native had to blaze her own trail, and in the process became an inspiration to fans across the globe. Raised on a steady diet of motocross racing, Golden won the Amateur Motocross National Championships in 2008. She carried that momentum to claim three X Games gold medals in Women’s Moto X Racing from 2011 to 2013. Her legend grew wings when she made the switch into the rough-and-tumble world of freestyle motocross jumps: Golden broke new ground as the first woman on the legendary Metal Mulisha show team as well as the first woman ever to compete and win a medal in Moto X Best Whip at X Games. Hear the story of the woman who sends it harder than most of the men – only on UNLEASHED!
