Following on from last year’s women’s camp at Hardline, this Tasmanian edition sees a number a number of female riders tackling the course. Unlike last year, there’s no separation between the men and women, so everyone is figuring out their first hits together. Tahnee Seagrave is one of the riders surprising herself at watch she can achieve – somewhat encouraged by the fact that when you’re hucking off a giant gap, you’re unlikely to encounter a spider.
Here’s the official first hits video, but we recommend exploring the Instagram feeds of some of the riders there too.
