Why can't everyone just be stoked that there is a young girl who is able to shred a mountain bike at such a young age? Seriously. All of you who say "She Sucks" I say go F yourself cause you're doing nothing to help our sport and certainly nothing to help the women in our sport.

flag raak (June 1, 2008 at 5:55) (Below Threshold) show comment
good point. She obviously has the guts and the drive to push herself, but you cant forget how lucky she is. Look at the bike, I think when I was 12 my dad spent less money on his car than has been spent on that socom! Her family are obviously not short of a few pennies and that gives her a major advantage. But she looks strong no doubt.

When I was her age, I've done a drop of 1m with a city bike. I was always racing with my nephew. Now we are both doing dh-racing and freeride.
It's special that she is a girl of that age doing it. And she is going pretty fast. But it's not that she is a natural. If you put any kid of 12years old on a bike on the age of 9, the kid could do the same things as her. The naturals would go even faster.

she is special because she was put on a bike at the age of 9. ok it's true that there would be more with the same skill if put on a bike early enough. and i think she would go even better with a lighter setup! that bike must weigh to much compared to her weight.
