Cami Nogueira Signs With Propain Bicycles

Jan 17, 2023

by PROPAIN-Bicycles

PRESS RELEASE: Propain Bicycles

We’re happy to announce the signing of freerider Cami Nogueira.

Hailing from Argentina and currently residing in Aspen Colorado, Cami Nogueira is rapidly becoming a household name. Known for big sends and an aggressive approach to technical, steep descents, it’s no surprise that Cami has found her way to the top of the freeride mountain biking scene. In the past two years, she’s pulled off back-to-back first place finishes at Proving Grounds, earning the top spot with her bold riding style. She was also hand selected for two consecutive appearances at Red Bull Formation, during which the most elite women in freeride push the boundaries of the sport. At the most recent Red Bull Formation, she earned herself the “Spicy Award”, an honor reserved for the rider with the spiciest line and the tenacious attitude to match. Just when we thought her resume couldn’t be more impressive, she took on even more mind-bending features during Yoann Barelli’s 2022 Tour de Gnar.

Cami is a true pioneer in the freeride world. Her rise to the top of the scene has been incredible to watch, and we’re excited to be able to support her as she continues her career.

Welcome to the team, Cami!

Aspen, Colorado, US

29

2022 Resolutions:
Ride new places, do some gnarly things, get new tricks, go riding with my friends and make new ones. Participate in some cool events.

Driven by her father, Cami started her career early in cross-country. As a teenager, she took part in a downhill race and realized that this direction suited her more. In addition to downhill, Cami also spent a lot of time out in nature with her bike and friends, building and testing their lines. This gave her the love for freeride riding. After her first visit at Whistler Bikepark at the age of 17, her decision was final: she was determined to become a professional mountain biker.

After many World Cup races, a few EWS participations, and Crankworx stops, she decided to shift her focus away from racing in 2019 and invest more time in freeride again.

The investment in freeride paid off, and she was invited to Red Bull Formation 2021. At this point, it was clear to everyone that Cami is a unique rider with a great future ahead of her.

Cami on working with Propain:

"Propain is one of the few brands that's true to freeriding and they have all the tools that I need for my job. I'm super stoked to be riding for this awesome brand!" - Cami Nogueira

We are looking forward to the upcoming projects with Cami.

Let’s have an awesome time together!

For real. Tour De Gnar was exactly what it said it was, gnarly, and Cami showed she belonged with that elite group!

Yes Cami!!! Hyped for you! This is great news. Best healing with the elbow and see you on the shred again soon ❤️

Propain bikes look so much better since the shock moved into the frame. Nice bikes.

artistformlyknowasdan FL (Jan 17, 2023 at 11:26)

Fugees 'Ready or Not' is such a great song! Good taste

Velocipedestrian (Jan 17, 2023 at 13:37)

It's a banger, though I feel old realising she wasn't born when it came out, while I was nearly finished high school.

artistformlyknowasdan FL (Jan 17, 2023 at 13:54)

@Velocipedestrian: some of my favorite stuff came out well before I was born. Shit, I’ll blast some Mozart, beethoven or Bach when the mood strikes

dantecusolito FL (Jan 18, 2023 at 20:43)

@Velocipedestrian: She is 29 and the song came out in 1996, so she was born but still really young.

Velocipedestrian (Jan 19, 2023 at 3:01)

@dantecusolito: you are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

I still feel old.

VicSandrin (Jan 17, 2023 at 12:08)

Stoked to have Cami on the bikes this year! She is pushing the sport for sure which is fun to watch.

RedBurn (Jan 18, 2023 at 7:55)

all guys are like

nvranka (Jan 18, 2023 at 9:02) (Below Threshold)

Not all of us, let me tell ya

ViolaVesperlin (Jan 18, 2023 at 16:59)

@nvranka: Some prefer boys. No shame in that.

nvranka (Jan 20, 2023 at 9:20)

@ViolaVesperlin: boys? Cringe

noodlewitnosteeze FL (Jan 17, 2023 at 9:43)

Good to see. Excited to see what she'll do on that thing at the next formation.

luckynugget (Jan 17, 2023 at 9:55)

Can I order a spindrift with two 27.5 wheels like hers or is it just mullet/29 only for us normies

noakeabean (Jan 17, 2023 at 10:15)

Anyone can get full 27.5! They sell full 27.5, 27.5/29, and full 29

highndry (Jan 17, 2023 at 10:18)

The SD is one of their models that thankfully is holding the flag for dual 27.5 and a sweet 435mm rear. I could not be happier. Pedal uphills, kills on the down, and dual crown approved. A very freeride bike. In prep building mine I bought an angleset for the front to make it more do everything but have yet to feel the need to install it in either direction after a year.

luckynugget (Jan 17, 2023 at 12:20)

@highndry: Sorry I meant the Rage, the DH bike. Awesome that they are making a 27.5 freeride bike but that 200mm+ travel is where it's at!

luckynugget (Jan 17, 2023 at 12:20)

@noakeabean: I meant to say the Rage DH bike, but it's cool the shorter travel bike is still 27.5

TheSpangler FL (Jan 17, 2023 at 12:01)

Would be cool if they issued a model called Strickland.

felipebikeandgo (Jan 17, 2023 at 13:38)

so good! well deserved Cami!!

nateb FL (Jan 17, 2023 at 11:17)

Is her nickname ‘Little Nog’? Or maybe ‘Lil Nog’?

HughBonero FL (Jan 17, 2023 at 12:40)

Muchas felicidades dese Salta! Suerte y éxitos en 2023

Saucycheese FL (Jan 17, 2023 at 9:58)

zoobab2 (Jan 17, 2023 at 12:14)

27.5, 29 is no fun! Thank you Propain!

They cancelled the dh race team but are still spending money? This looks shit for uti DH

jaydawg69 FL (Jan 17, 2023 at 10:30)

way cheaper to have influencer types than a WC DH Team... Bike companies are going to cut back due to many factors and Propain isn't the first nor the last I suspect.

50percentsure FL (Jan 17, 2023 at 18:27)

Bummer about the DH team, but then again can't recall who was on the team ATM.

I know Cami won Proving Grounds and "won" Formation with the Spicy Line award though.

nvranka (Jan 18, 2023 at 9:02) (Below Threshold)

@50percentsure: formation? Lmfao

RIP WCDH, f*ck this

50percentsure FL (Jan 18, 2023 at 10:47)

@nvranka: Formation was f*cking rad, Cami's fall-line run was at the pointy end of the spear. Looking forward to what she cooks up this year with Propain.

bman33 (Jan 17, 2023 at 11:09)

Congrats to Cami. That said, wonder what connections (her family?) she has to be able to live in Aspen on a MTB'ers budget. Baller for sure!

27 2

christinachappetta FL (Jan 17, 2023 at 11:26)

She is an amazing ski instructor too, so pretty sure she works very hard to live in Aspen. Doubt it's because she "has connections"

bman33 (Jan 17, 2023 at 12:40)

@christinachappetta: If she is a ski instructor, she most likely has a few roomates and doing the ski town life for a bit. Until two years ago, lived in Colorado for 11 years so toally get that approach. Glad she is living her best life. Not sure why my OG post got the down votes. So folks just live in the negative I suppose.

mammal (Jan 17, 2023 at 14:51)

@bman33: the negs were because you assumed she would need to rely on family connections to be doing what she's doing.

bman33 (Jan 17, 2023 at 15:01)

@mammal: Not at all. I fully recognize her talent. That said, Aspen is one of, if not THE most expensive postal code in the US. It's average home price is something like $13-$14 million and even 'apartment' rentals are isane. Most ski partrol and service workers live 20-30 min away in towns like Carbondale. Most 'young' people who live in Aspen proper do so due to family money (not an insult) or similar. Either way, Pinkbikers love to be insulted and hit the down vote.

BigHerm FL (Jan 17, 2023 at 18:42)

Aspen Ski Instructors are the best paid in the biz. You can actually make a living in the RFV teaching. Congrats Cami, you deserve all the success you worked hard for!

iammarkstewart (Jan 18, 2023 at 1:21)

@bman33: "Not at all"? You literally said exactly that ("her family?"). Publicly conjecturing how she lives where she lives and sustains it is irrelevant in the first place. "I wonder how she made that happen?" could be a valid question you see in your brain if you're looking to replicate something similar, but your phrasing is full of assumptions about private matters.

nvranka (Jan 18, 2023 at 9:00)

@iammarkstewart: lol. You people amuse me
