From the brink of the Olympics and a career in the army, to the frontier of freeriding: best friends Harriet Burbidge-Smith & Robin Goomes

Harriet and Robin are two of the current and future stars of freeride – and they also happen to be best friends. Harriet was on-track to become a BMX Olympian before deciding that her heart lay in freeride, while Robin went from a full-time career in the army to become the first woman to land a back-flip in competition in 2021.Yet the duo don’t see themselves as trailblazers – they just see themselves as bike riders. Despite their modesty, Harriet and Robin are part of a wave of women freeriders bringing more and more awareness to female freeride and inspiring the next generation of female talent to come through and take the sport up at a younger age.Freeride is a mountain bike discipline encompassing almost every element of mountain biking you can imagine: speed, style, jumps, drops and so much more. Robin and Haz are the sport’s biggest fans – and they just so happen to be two of the best in the world at tackling it, too.Rob and Eliot sat down with Harriet and Robin in Whistler at Crankworx, a multi-stop series of mountain bike festivals which brings together the best mountain bikers to compete in elite level competitions, to dive into their back stories, discuss what’s next for them and the sport and dig into their friendship on and off the bike.Enjoying Just Ride?
