What Femmebmx is all about-

“Only boys ride bikes...” says a 9-year old girl. “I didn’t know girls could do that...” says a 27-year-old woman. Many females of all ages are unaware that opportunities to participate in predominately male sports exist. BMX is one of those sports. FemmeBMX is designed to show girls that not just boys ride bikes!

“The boys in the neighborhood told me girls can’t ride well and that I can’t keep up...” Yes, this mentality still exists! Girls get told they can’t, based on the mere fact that they’re female! There are female BMXers all over the world that put the males riders around them to shame with their stealth on the track or shredding abilities at the trails or in the park!

Unfortunately, these girls can be hard to find. Why? It still is not uncommon for girls to get static from their male peers when attempting BMX and other male-dominated sports for the first time, turning them off from the sport altogether.

FemmeBMX was designed to remove the intimidation factor female riders sometimes experience by creating a positive girls-only environment. Female riders will develop the skills it takes to keep up at the park, trails or race track, through a positive, motivating progression-based program designed specifically for girls and women!

Rampant Clothing Co.

Aussie Clothing Company Rampant is one of the many supporters of Australia BMX girl rider Crystal Shepherd. They make plenty of guys and girls apparel, but the thing that caught my eye is their awesome t-shirt designs. Its always hard as a girl rider to find good fitted girls shirts with a good design and better yet are made by an Australian company.

They have now opened an online shop and catalog.

Check it out at - Rampantriders.com


I had a bit of a chat to the guys at Rampant, Heres what they had to say:

How did you come across Crystal, and what made you want to put her on the team?

I met crystal through one of other riders at The Spinal disorder competition last year. We really think female athletes are a great asset to the brand. Crystal is awesome, nothing pretentious about her, tough resilient and a great rider.


You support a few girl riders, but not all BMX's what are the other girls main sports?

Yeah look, we have some great girls on board. Jemma Wilson #1 Enduro rider in Australia and Qld, Tori Dare female MX rider and Kristy Gillespie #2 female MX rider.


You've got some great designs for girls and guys, how do you come about your designs?

Basically I design and print all the gear right here in Australia, Im really hands on like that nothing is mass produced. When designing I'm looking at positive messages not death and destruction, it has been done and is still being done locally and overseas. I want to offer people out there something fresh and positive.


Then we Caught up with Crystal and asked her what she thought of Rampant?

Whats your favourite product from Rampant Product and What are the Tees like to ride in?

I really like the lifestyle tee its got awesome artwork on it. i am also liking the new hats that are coming out and my lanyard is really handy for my car keys..... i find them really good to ride in nice comfortable fit
