You cant even tell she is a girl when watching her ride in person. She attacks a track just like the boys do.

Why is a girl racing such a big deal? Not trying to put her down but I mean really? Plenty of fast girls that could probably hang if not beat HH.

In the 36yrs I've been following this sport.....not one girl on this planet , have I seen race an 85cc bike like that. I mean no one.

That girl is something special and anyone who down plays it , or doesn't realize it......hasn't been following the sport.

Ashley never rode an 85cc bike like that. Lets just wait and see what Hannah can do when she gets on the big bikes. It's going to be impressive to watch.

I know super mini's.....meant 85's as in the size of the bikes. Still impressive because she was riding the same sized bike as all the dudes were.

Courtney Duncan would be about the same speed. Gives the boys a hard time here and in the states when she was there (ponca '12)

I agree. I have been watching her progress over the past couple of years and she is quite the rider. She was awesome to watch last year at mini Os. Everybody was was on the fence cheering her on.

I don't know about that, she won all her motos at LL's in the class with the supermini. I think she was top five in the class with the ladies on big bikes while she was on her supermini. I don't know the class structure. She hauls dude.

She is the real deal. If a team would be willing to pick her up and get her some coaching, SX track time and help with bike set up she could make night shows and battle for main events down the road.

Tara Geiger was doing the same thing about ten years ago in Supermini, and B classes.......girls can ride. No doubt.

Yeah, txg.. seriously you haven't been paying attention. She wins everything by a Looooooooong shot. I've been watching her for a few years and she wins big, then she jumps in the boys supermini group and finishes in front of many fast kids, look at who she beat last night, all of these SM riders are well know for NOT being slow.

There is some footage of her on 125's. Pretty cool interviews aswell. Her goal is to make it in the night shows and qualify out doors. She qualified for Lorrettes in the boys class too but , I think she rode women's and girls 14-16 classes. . Very impressive young lady for sure.

Moreover... I looked on her website & she has a 4.0 gpa in high school.

Very impressive.

that means shes smarter and faster than 98% of this forum Wink

but i agree that most girls have their own style, its hard to explain but even if the girl is super fast you can tell shes a "she" just by the style. Hannah is different though she was pulling that bike around and putting it where she wanted it

i watched the CUP with a bunch of buddies and when they had the camera on her every one of us went, HOLY SHIT SHES FASTER THAN ME

Anyone that thinks she's not something special is crazy! If you follow amateur mx or more specifically girls mx you would know that there is NO GIRL 16 & under that rides like she does!! She has yet to compete at any major races on a full size bike yet still is competitive on a super mini! PR stunt? No way, the real deal! Congrats Hannah!!

She's fast...and smart. I don't think she did the triple during practice, but busted it out just fine during the races.

I agree with this. She rides a bike like no chick I've seen before, other than Danielle West of couse, but we all know why that is.

What I as trying to say is 95% of the time you can spot a girl ride just by the way they ride. I was at a LLQ with my son a couple years ago and if it wasnt for the hair hanging out I would not have had any idea. I'm not talking bad about female riders but if you have been to the track enough it's usually easy to spot the males and females. Like Jeffro said, she rides the shit out of that 85 (105,110,112 whatever it is)

Why would it be mandatory for a female racer to be hot? Do you think all male racers are handsome?
Wink

Anyway, Hannah's a really impressive rider.
