Sweet video "AP"! Too bad we will not see the WMX as we did last year... these ladies deserve more than a "Triple Crown' for sure! The economy and lack of sponsors to help these ambassadors of the sport progress, discredits everything MX Sports and Davey Coombs has been doing to help these amazing athletes out! There needs to be better support for these women on every level if the sport is to grow into the what it could possibly be! These women can reach demographics that male racers just can't reach, young girls need hero too and these ladies were those hero's to young girls everywhere! Men complain that they have now business in the sport, but if you remember back when MX/SX was just starting out, their speeds were not what they are now, but because of progression the speeds got faster and the swagger became more pronounced! Let's support these ladies with as much vigor and appreciation as you all show the trophy girls and the bikini models! If we can support these women why the hell would anyone else give them support! For the WMX to succeed we need them to be a vital part of racing as well... people fail to realize that everyday people are trying to take racing facilities from racers as we speak, legislation has and will continue to take lands that we use for riding/racing! It's imperative that we get more women into the sport to keep this sport progressing and in the fore front of the racing industry! It's up to use to grow MX/SX/AX we must stand together and build a bond that no other entity can step in and try to tear it down! Show support to these ladies and future women and girls to grow their series before it's too late! We only get to see them for 3 rounds let's make it count for them and us! Much respect to the WMX racers may we all change our chauvinistic attitudes and help these ladies grow instead of acting like little kids saying that they don't belong in the sport, because they do deserve the opportunity to ride and be involved in racing just as much as any man in the sport! If we don't save them and their series, we all lose in the long run! LONG LIVE THE WMX!!!!
