Blazing Global Trails

In a year defined by grit and gravity, Mornington Peninsula local, Tilly Boadle, carved her name into the elite ranks of international mountain biking.

The Langwarrin South student stormed through 2025 with podium finishes across Australia and Europe, showcasing a rare blend of technical precision and fearless ambition. 

Boadle’s season ignited at Crankworx Cairns, where she clinched gold in the Official Australian Whip-Off Championships, grabbing the judges with her audacious style. Her triumph didn’t end there – she powered to first place in the women’s U17 Downhill class, clocking a blistering run that left rivals in her wake.

From the tropics of Queensland, Tilly’s trajectory soared to the storied slopes of Europe. At her first international, the iXS European Downhill Cup in Semmering, Austria, she emerged as the fastest U17 female rider, taming the notoriously treacherous Hirschkogel descent with surgical precision and poise under pressure. 

A second international win at Les Arcs in France proved that Semmering was no fluke.

For Boadle, these accolades signal the rise of a rider whose commitment mirrors the ethos of Woodleigh’s adventurous spirit. As whispers of World Cup aspirations gather pace, one truth is clear: Tilly Boadle isn’t just riding trails – she’s blazing them.
