Video Description from YouTube:

In this episode, we sit down with Kira Knebel, a rider who found more than just speed on the racetrack — she found confidence, community, and a new sense of purpose. From her first day on the track to now racing multiple bikes, Kira opens up about her journey, the people who helped her grow, and what she wants to give back to the sport.

We talk about:

Her first track experiences and early nerves

Getting faster and finding her rhythm

Support from the racing community and mentors

Racing multiple bikes: R3, 400, and R6

Crashes, lessons, and coming back stronger

Finding identity through racing and fitness

Her goals in racing and giving back to new riders

Kira’s story is powerful, relatable, and proof that racing is as much mental as it is physical.
