The excitement among fans on site was palpable as Caroline Buchanan dropped in first, kicking off the Maxxis Slopestyle in Memory of McGazza with an electrifying run. Reflecting on her journey in Freeride Mountain Biking and the evolution of women in Slopestyle, she shares: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>One of those things I remember, two years ago sitting in the booth here when the men were on and I said, you know, it would be unreal to see women. And fast forward to two years later, now I see the top six ladies in the world who are completely ready for this course and this experience, to just all shine. There were so many little girls in the stands, there were so many spectators, so many people cheering. For me, growing up in BMX since the age of five, it\u2019s really hard to be what you can\u2019t see, so being seen I think is the most important thing right now for the future of Women\u2019s Slopestyle, and yeah, to be one of the older girls in the class at 33, still throwing down, this is probably one of my career highlights today.<\/p><cite>Caroline Buchanan<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/43ride.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/crankworxrotorua-2024-slopestyle-ctrahan-carolinebuchanan.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9717\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Caroline Buchanan \/ photo: Clint Trahan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dropping in last in the first run, Robin Goomes came out on top of the field with an outstanding 90.75-point run, with Harriet \u2018Haz\u2019 Burbidge-Smith hot on her trails with 85.5 points. After the other riders finished their second runs, the two athletes, who are good friends and have been training together in the lead-up to the event, opted for a \u2018party train\u2019 led by Harriet on their final run, representing the camaraderie and joy at the heart of the competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>The plan for run 2 was just to clean that [first] ride up, but instead, Haz and I stayed in our positions, and Haz was saying that if she stayed in second, she was happy to just party train down.

The vibe remained high as conditions cleared, seemingly in favour of the groundbreaking competition. Goomes reflected on the conditions, attributing the turn in weather to a timely Karakia, a testament to the deep cultural roots and communal spirit that pervaded the whole Crankworx Rotorua festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>We were really lucky to have super good riding every other day, which in a way, made it quite hard today when we had rain overnight and then windy conditions this morning. We did a nice little Karakia this morning and somehow, in the moment, the weather just turned itself on.

Shealen Reno came in fifth with two amazing runs that put her at 74.50 points. Patricia Druwen, the 2023 Female Red Bull Rookie of the Year, had to pull out shortly before the event started due to health reasons, narrowing the start field down to the world\u2019s best five female athletes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Reflecting on this groundbreaking day using three words, the women said it best:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Robin Goomes (NZL):<\/strong> Crazy, Emotional Rollercoaster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Harriet Burbidge-Smith (AUS): <\/strong>Nervewracking, Exciting, Fun<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Caroline Buchanan (AUS): <\/strong>Iconic, HERstory, Progression<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Natasha Miller (CAN):<\/strong> Electric, Insane, Fun<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shealen Reno (USA): <\/strong>Stunning, Groundbreaking, Successful<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" src=\"https:\/\/43ride.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/crankworxrotorua-2024-slopestyle-ctrahan-podium.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9719\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Women&#8217;s Slopestyle podium \/ photo: Clint Trahan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2024 Maxxis Slopestyle in Memory of McGazza not only celebrated women ascending in the sport but also honoured the legacy of Kelly \u201cMcGazza\u201d McGarry with a \u2018McGazza Train\u2019.
