A MONMOUTH Youtuber has been nominated in national Motorbike award and is up against big hitters.
The Girl On A Bike, also known as Vanessa Ruck, has been nominated for a national motorbike award for her creative content.
Rising star Vanessa said she couldn’t believe she was nominated in the same category as social media giant RoyalJordanian and would be thrilled if she did well in the comp.
Vanessa is an accomplished social media star, standing at nearly 27,000 subscribers on Youtube, gaining around 600 every month. Her channel pulls in nearly 60,000 monthly views. She can be found at youtube.com/TheGirlOnABike.
Competitive Enduro Rally racer Vanessa has just come back from the Rallye Du Maroc and bagged a first prize. She thinks that it is because of the footage of her entering really challenging events or travelling to stunning countries, is why her videos on Youtube are energetic, inspiring and beautiful.
Vanessa worked in marketing for 10 years when life took a devastating turn, cycling to work and being run over by a car jumping a red light.
She said: “Motorcycles, something I started post-accident, have become my love and passion. If you’d asked me seven years ago whether I would be racing off-road motorcycles I’d have probably choked on my drink! But life takes us on some amazing journeys. People can relate to my story because everyone goes through bad times and I think they’re cheering me on to keep doing better and better. Hopefully I am inspiring others to show that if I can bounce back after 7 surgeries, others can get through their hard times.”
