Kirsten Landman has a never say die attitude and its that attitude that has seen her rise to global success in the off road two wheel motorsports space! 

With the sport being male dominated, Kirsten grew up racing the boys and has moved on to racing the men in the senior ranks. It is this level of competition from an early age that has enabled her to develop into the world class rider she is today. 

Kirsten is the only female in the world to finish the Gold Class at the Roof of Africa as well as the Sea to Sky and has most recently taken on and completed the ultimate test of human endurance in the motorsport world, the mighty Dakar Rally. 

For this episode, we Kirsten takes us back to where it all started. She tells about how she developed a love for the sport, how she has managed to progress as a rider, her training approach and how she developed the mental fortitude to get the job done. 

She takes us through how she has managed to recover from a near death crash and the process she followed to get back onto her bike well as what it takes to ride the infamous Dakar Rally.

We hope that you enjoy!
