My name is Rachel BAGELS.
I am a DOWNHILL SKATEBOARDER AND RACER.
I am from LOS ANGELES, California.
I currently live in gorgeous Asheville, North Carolina.
I fell in love with downhill skateboarding in 2012 and haven’t looked back since. Once I got rolling, the glorious hills of southern California embraced me, and my love for going fast took over. I began traveling the world to skate; participating in events and competing in races all around the world. Through competition, I earned many podiums and secured top international rankings. In 2015, I was ranked 2nd in the IDF women's world rankings, and in 2016, I ranked 3rd. In 2019, I became part of the first-ever USA National Downhill Skateboarding Team and participated in the World Roller Games in Spain- where I made the top 10 fastest riders and finished 7th overall. I earned the top 5th spot in the USA and gained my spot on the US team for the second time in 2022. I participated in the World Skate Games In Argentina and ranked top 10 in the world. Outside of racing, I'm known in the skate world for my infectious smile and welcoming attitude.
I currently thrive skating in the gorgeous mountains in Asheville, North Carolina.
