Jill Kintner's Olympic BMX dream
Exclusive BikeMag interview with three-time MTB World champion Jill
Kintner who has set her sights on BMX gold at the Beijing Olympics: 'Jill
Kintner is making some big changes in her life. Over the past five
seasons, she has come to dominate the women’s World Cup four-cross

pretty special."' More
