British Motocross Champion Launches Training Academy to Empower Women Riders

Lauren Collingwood, the current British MXGP champion, has taken a significant step toward making motocross more inclusive by launching the UK's first all-female motocross academy, "Girls That Moto." Her vision is to empower women and girls of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced riders, to embrace the sport.

Motocross has long been dominated by men, but Collingwood's academy aims to change that by offering a supportive environment where female riders can build confidence and skills. The academy's training sessions will be held across the UK, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Based in Doncaster, the academy has already sparked strong interest, and Collingwood plans to introduce programs for complete beginners. Her goal is to remove the barriers that have traditionally kept women out of motocross and create more opportunities for them to thrive in the sport.

In addition to training, Collingwood's academy will likely foster a community of female riders who can share experiences, offer support, and encourage one another. This community aspect is crucial for building confidence and challenging the gender norms in motocross.

With "Girls That Moto," Collingwood is not only changing the landscape of motocross in the UK but also inspiring a new generation of female riders. The initiative highlights the growing demand for inclusivity in sports and serves as a reminder that motocross is for everyone, regardless of gender.
