 At the 4X race last night two pro riders drove 5 hours to race and then drove home,asked them why.
The answer because we want to race. The younger brother won.
Only too happy to have Ladies camps here .
After the camp why not stay and race BMX? at 7 pm or sunday at 11am?

 The local girls are pumped for this camp, should be a good one. Tonight is race night at Abby indoor and Thursday is the last practice night for 2011. Get out there.

 Can we bring this to the US? Specifically California? I've got 2 toddlers I have to keep contained, so I can't travel too far! Wink

 Not sure how it works in Canada but in the UK we have Gender discrimination laws.
Excluding a whole gender (males) is no different to having a whites only day and excluding all other races.
It's all exclusive discrimination.
Would that be cool too ?

 We're not too fussed if the ladies want to have a day of training on their own and I am sure that if you asked really nicely they may let you join in with them. Either way the local gals are super pumped to be able to work with Jill and Kat this weekend.

 To be honest, most of the sport is male specific, so its nice to let us girls have our own event for once Smile

 There are a couple of DH events like this up in Scotland, but Im hoping for a 4X event further south as we need more girls to race UK 4X!
