about mizzi.

what does mizzi mean and stand for?
i came across an article where a woman from austria was mentioned. her name was mitzi albl and she was a founding member of the ladies bicycle club graz (styria), which was founded in 1893 and was the first bicycle club for ladies in austria, one of the first clubs in europe.
these women were pioneers and helped pave the way for women in a lot of sports. that's how the name mizzi originated.


what is mizzi about?
mizzi is about women in extreme sports (bmx, skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, wakeboarding, fmx and so on). i want to encourage other girls and women to also start or keep on riding, by posting news & stories about the events in the female extreme sports world.
other than that.. it's hella fun.
i also try to organize little jams in austria from time to time to keep in touch with others. we'll see what will come next!

who runs this?
my name is stephi, i'm currently 26 years old, i enjoy riding bmx and snowboard. i also like wakeboarding and windsurfing and i'm interested in skateboarding and fmx.
i live in vienna, austria (europe). that's also why i'm gonna post some austrian news from time to time.
i ran a german blog previously, it was called "damenrad - female 2rad madness".

if you want to contact me, just post a comment somewhere.

What a great idea for a site. I can't believe you have named it after me! I have never heard of Mizzi Alba, but she sounds like a pioneer. I cycle every day across London about six miles to work but was not aware that a Mizzi started it so long ago.
Good luck with the site

:) thank you! yes, i do think she was some kind of a pioneer... apart from that, i think the name "mizzi" sounds nice. that was another reason for me to pick it.

thanks and greetings to london!

Hey

Hi Mizzi,
Great to discover your site, I love what you've got going on here.
I look after the Coolermag.com website which is also all about women in extreme sports (bmx, skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, wakeboarding, fmx and so on). We've just popped up an article with Nina Buitrago if you'd like to check it out: http://coolermag.com/features/-/interviews/nina-buitrago-interview.html
Keep up the good work!
