Ella Wu-Heilman is a rising force in motorcycle racing—competing against older, more experienced riders and carving out her place on the grid with grit, skill, and passion.

In this episode, Ella shares her journey from her first time on two wheels to racing in series like Northwest Mini Moto, Cascadia Supermoto, and WMRRA. We talk about growing up in a motorsports-loving family, how her dad supports her as her mechanic and RV driver, and what she’s learned from her mom’s experience in F1 sponsorship.

She opens up about balancing school with the demands of racing, why representation matters to her, and the big dreams that keep her pushing forward—on and off the bike.
