A Colorado Mountain Biker is Tackling Some of the World’s Gnarliest Terrain
Fresh off dropping cliffs at the elite Red Bull Formation event, Samantha Soriano is on track to become one of the world’s top freeriders. Shauna Farnell •
June 9, 2021
Before launching off a giant cliff on her mountain bike, Samantha Soriano has a habit of wringing out her hands. It’s her way of shaking out her fear, which she has named “Tito the Anxiety Mosquito” after a character on the popular animated sitcom,
Big Mouth.
She also has a face and name for her internal motivator: “bangin’.” So, as she’s perched above a ridge, ready to drop, she wrings out Tito, grabs the handlebars, and says to herself, “let’s go bangin’.’”
Red Bull Formation is a wrap for 2021 after a week of building and riding lines in the Utah desert. Catch up on all that took place at this women-only mountain bike freeride event.

Technical outerwear label Arc’teryx is taking a turn for sustainability with its first-every design ambassador: New York-based upcycling innovator Nicole McLaughlin. The eco-minded creative and climber is set to join the ranks alongside the brand’s long-standing representatives, including surfer Peter Devries, author Florence Williams, runner Brendan Leonard, mountain biker Katie Holden, and climber Shelma Jun.
“As a climber and designer, I’m excited to partner with Arc’teryx,” said McLaughlin. “I’m looking forward to shared learnings and connecting our communities so that together we can amplify the value of circularity, including repurposing garments to keep waste out of landfills.”
