Imagine tipping yourself over the handlebars of a mountain bike while at full speed. Now, imagine you're doing it to become the first woman ever to land a front flip on a mountain bike. It's an extraordinary feat by any measure, but for triple-threat-on-two-wheels Caroline Buchanan, it's just another day at work.

Here we get into some big stuff with Caroline, who's a mountain bike and BMX world champ and Olympian. She talks to our executive editor Kara Byers about what it's like to dominate in traditionally male sports, why rejection is a gift, what it takes to tackle your fears head on and succeed, and how actually, you don't necessarily need to find a role model or someone who's doing what you want to be - because you CAN be what you can't see.
