BMX Rider & Youth Ambassador
About Louise Kelly
At 16, Louise Kelly co-founded the 'Ride Right' initiative in East Oakland after witnessing how few local girls had access to BMX coaching or safe, inclusive track space, she didn’t wait for permission. She converted a derelict lot into a community-built pump track with donated parts and volunteer mentors, then lobbied the city council to fund youth-led maintenance crews. Her advocacy reshaped California’s Youth Sports Equity Grant guidelines to prioritize under-resourced neighborhoods and gender-inclusive programming. Unlike many ambassadors who speak at events, Louise teaches weekly clinics where riders learn not just manuals and tailwhips but how to draft safety proposals, budget for gear swaps, and document neighborhood needs using GIS mapping tools. She’s been profiled by ESPN’s ‘Next Gen’ series not for her competition medals, though she placed 4th in the 2023 USA BMX National Championships, but for building infrastructure that outlives any single race season.
