ISSAQUAH, Wash. — Emma Artz started mountain biking in 2018 and quickly fell in love with the sport. With the help of Sweetlines: a mountain bike program with a mission to build confidence, create an inclusive community, and promote stewardship through educational mountain biking to empower people of all genders, Emma's progression in the sport went to the next level. 'If you told me five years ago that I will be competing at the world level for mountain biking, I will not think it was possible,' Artz said.
