Kyrstin Stone

A Florida girl born and raised - not the Florida with the beaches or Disney World, but the part with the confederate flags and lynching trees. Growing up riding four-wheelers and dirtbikes, Kyrstin Stone decided in her teens that her feet should remain firmly on the ground and instead set about the idea of becoming an athlete manager, having become hooked on Supercross and Arenacross through friends who were turning pro. Sadly, being told outright by multiple then-managers that women would never be an athlete manager to male talent, she let the dream die, and often wonders what her life would have been like if there was more representation in the sport. However, with action sports remaining her passion, Kyrstin found her footing in marketing and has since worked on major campaigns with Red Bull, Muscle Milk, and Jack Daniels. Although a slightly different twist on our usual stories this week, Kyrstin’s hope is that through this conversation you can feel empowered to chase any and every dream.
