Jill Kintner
2025 Mountain Bike Hall of Fame Inductee
Few riders have carved a legacy as deep, diverse and lasting as Jill Kintner.
From BMX start gates to downhill race runs, she’s spent decades turning raw skill and relentless focus into a career defined by progression and purpose.
Her career started on the BMX circuit,
where early dominance led to three World titles and an Olympic bronze medal in Beijing. When she made the jump to mountain biking, that same precision and drive translated seamlessly, earning her 25 U.S. national championships across six disciplines and a trophy case that includes five Queen of Crankworx titles, 43 Crankworx gold medals and more than 60 podiums around the world.
Her talent runs deeper than race results.
Jill’s impact lives in the way she’s elevated the sport, mentoring younger riders, shaping women’s racing through her Race Craft clinics and pairing her competitive edge with a creative one as a painter and designer.
Now,
As she’s inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, Jill’s legacy is a reflection of grit, creativity and the drive to keep pushing.
Congratulations, Jill — your story continues to inspire every rider chasing their next line.
