FILM MAKERS
Discover the groundbreaking impact of women in motorcycling with ‘
She Rides’. From breaking stereotypes to leading clubs and businesses, this film celebrates their resilience and innovation, shaping a future where the road knows no bounds.
In 2019 director Gareth Maxwell Roberts released the critically acclaimed award winning documentary feature film ‘Oil In The Blood’ about the contemporary custom motorcycle culture. He remembers “One of the most rewarding and fascinating aspects of making the film was meeting all of the inspiring women making inroads in a culture and industry that has historically been male dominated. We featured a chapter on women in motorcycling in the film, and at the time I certainly believed it was worthy of a film in its own right.” A few years later, that film is getting made. ‘She Rides’.
SUMMARY
The film came into being from a chance conversation between Gareth and producer Sean Kelley of 73 Moto, and a weekend stop over In Austin, Texas by producer Rachel Lepley on her epic trip across the 48 states of the USA in 48 days on her Royal Enfield Interceptor. Conversations began with eventual associate producers Heidi Zumbrun and Kiki Azim and production was scheduled to begin in early 2024. Sarah and David Pagan joined the team and shooting commenced in February at the Mama Tried Show in Milwaukee.
They have since filmed a number of interviews in Texas and at The 1 Moto Show in Portland. To date the team has interviewed over forty women, from flat track racers to custom builders, dealership and workshop owners, show runners, photographers, influencers, adventure riders and educators. We’ve interviewed mechanics, race engineers, riding gear designers and stunt riders. Our youngest interviewee is six years old, our oldest is in her sixties. All of their stories are fascinating, illuminating, entertaining and inspiring. We plan to speak to many more women about their experiences in motorcycling. Production will continue through 2024 and into 2025 in the US and Europe, and budget permitting Asia and Japan. Gareth states “It’s a privilege to bear witness to the women’s motorcycling revolution that is changing motorcycling and ensuring it’s future”.

The Vintagent Trailers: Oil In The Blood
This is not a film about motorcycles,…
Problem with this film is … much like ” Oil In the Blood ” …. its a constant barrage of different people saying the same damn thing over and over again to the point of abject distraction and boredom . As if repeating something endlessly makes it true !
Unlike OITB … where everyone’s trying desperately to convince you how hip and cool they are … in this …. its a Victimhood Fest … with far too many clueless women with an agenda who don’t have a clue about the past exploits etc of women in motorcycling ….. whining over and over again . e.g.
‘ oh boohoo .. I can’t find anyone like me cause .. .I didn’t look at whats right in front of me ‘
( yeah well .. get yer nose outta yer phone and ya just might see something 😎 )
So … sorry .. but like OITB …. this is yet another perfectly good waste of film too focused on Much Ado About Nothing when in reality there was so much subject matter available … its a travesty that the film makers chose to ignore it all … focusing on a narrow biased agenda …. rather than reality … which is a helluva lot more interesting
Two thumbs down … for wanna be hipsters , snowflakes and the culturally clueless .
