If you're at all familiar with the Tron franchise, you know that motorcycles (or light cycles, originally designed by Syd Mead, to be more specific) are an integral part of the lore. So naturally, when the latest entry in the franchise, Tron: Ares was announced, the inclusion of a whole lot of light cycle action was a given.
What wasn't necessarily a given, however, was who would be riding those light cycles, and what kinds of real-life riding skills they might have. Even among actors, there are enthusiasts like Keanu Reeves and Katee Sackhoff, and then there are folks who partake in special training in order to be able to perform their roles.
And then there's Jodie Turner-Smith, who plays the character Athena in Tron: Ares. (No, I haven't seen the movie yet, so I can't tell you anything about it and I don't want spoilers.)
