Lauren's proven ability to relentlessly send it is only rivaled by her ability to increase the stoke level of any ride she's a part of. All smiles the whole time, high-fives are always in endless supply. Having lived in numerous mountain bike hot spots around California, her skills have been honed on a variety of terrain. From the decomposed granite of Mammoth Lakes to the rocky chutes of Thousand Oaks to the pristine loam of Santa Cruz to the loose chunder of the Tahoe regions - she sends it regardless of where she happens to be on any weekend.

Lauren has taken the adventurous leap into van life, spending the 2016 season driving from one race to the next and riding everywhere in between. Trailhead to trailhead, riding the best of what the west has to offer. Her Pro.File takes you through her race weekend routine of van camping, race prep and timed runs.

Lauren took 2nd place at the finale of the California Enduro Series in Mammoth Lakes, California. Topping it all off with an impressive 5th overall for the 2016 series! Being the 2014 California Enduro Series Champion, she's all too familiar with how the top spot feels and is already looking forward to the 2017 season!
As if chasing podiums wasn't time-consuming enough, Lauren devoted this year to launching a new lifestyle brand.
Turn Loose is a brand fully committed to the focus of inspiring and supporting others in their endeavors. It provides high-quality apparel and adventure goods that people can feel good about purchasing, as a portion of profits are used to sponsor young up-and-coming athletes, as well as fund inspiring stories and projects. Next season, Turn Loose will be supporting a team of four young mountain bike athletes in the hopes of helping them jumpstart their riding careers.

Now you can't help being envious...

"Most likely only fear."
Ha ha, right. Most likely only keeping the job that I have so that I can keep a roof over my kids' heads, clothes on their backs and food on their plates. That's a little beyond making sacrifices so that I can "crap in a bucket".
I have to keep working to keep bikes under my kids!!!
And the lure of eventual retirement. I totally want to retire someday.
Just that slackline. Seems like that upper line only teaches you bad manners (having to duck etc). Just walk on a single line. Coming off isn't too bad if you keep it low enough.
