I'm thrilled to be joined on Episode 36 by Joce Camarra. She's a BMX rider who had made a name for herself as one of the only women in BMX, and by becoming the first woman ever to complete the open loop run. I loved sitting down with her and talking about her life before BMX, setting records, and how bikes have cultivated her emotional coping strategies.
