The girls that belong to the Chica Rider Network are the mexican skaters Estefanía Gómez, Vanessa Rojas, Renata Ruiz and Mayra Gallegos, and the brazilian skaters Karen Jones, Leticia Bufoni, Ruany Caroline and Karina Paiva. The goal of the Chica Rider Network is to support the riders, empowering the girls and strenghtening the sisterhood and the mutual respect between the skater girls. It is aspirational; we want to encourage all the girls to be part of the Network… everyone can! Learn more at
