 Although she broke her collarbone, she still sent it hard!

 Its awesome that Jess is one of those female riders pushing up the standard of riding. Hopefully she'll be back next year to give it some beans and maybe influence some others to give it a go! A few people have comments about giving medals for just competing and just because she's a female but I don't think these douche bags grasp how big of deal it is that she was there and riding some of those mental jumps etc - I've been to hardline as a spectator several times and there's not a single jump i'd want to even attempt! ha

 I don’t know if was she that ad a bad crash at an dh run (I think it was?),and thinking to my self that she ad a little unlucky in the double jump ,but at ghdd we same time time she was riding with such a style that a said that this girl is in a different level ,and yes then she crashed,and now in that Red Bull hardline what a confirmation of what I thing back then ,carry on girl ,because it did impress me ,not because of the gender but as a rider ,congratulations

 Nice participation trophy. Apparently women have to jump through hurdles to get to hardline?, Or I have been told. Pretty sure that's not the case and that most Male riders would be more than willing to help another rider regardless of gender because that's what mt bikers do. Tired of all this b.s. if you're good enough you can compete. Its called equal opportunity , but too many are worried about equal outcome. You are not what you think you are you are a point of attention in infinite consiuscness that never dies. We are all that ever was, is and will be. It's about time we stop reducing oursolves into these into subcategories to try to find identity or to be part of small to feed our egos and feel special. Maybe I should be a girl.this year and dominate the womens races.
