Sophie Arissa Mohamad Naim was only two when she started riding push bikes. Now, seven years later, she has transitioned to riding dirt bikes across various tracks nationwide, showcasing her skills in competitions.

“If boys can ride kids’ dirt bikes, why can’t I? It makes me happy to race in dirt bike competitions. I wish more girls would join in learning to ride dirt bikes because it’s so much fun,” says Sophie.
