Just enjoy the women doing their thing or shut the F up.
We've had 65's 85's 125's womens and Vet's added to the normal meeting and it's turned a race meeting into something special. The "Festival" tag is earned in this case.

Youthstream is British now?
I love seeing other women race, especially at the enduro-x. Women pros could easily lap most of the anti-women's MX whiners on Vital. I don't know if we'll ever see a woman quality for SX, but we'll never see it if we pull out all of the support for women's racing. Young girls growing up with MX need heroines to look up to and something to work towards. That includes TV exposure.
I'd love to see 85s and 125s at the nationals, but neither is realistic in America. Why can't we be happy with what we have?
Simply stating, "I'd prefer not to have WMX included at nationals" usually has nothing to do with the gender of the competitors but has more to do with the level of entertainment provided.
Also, your husband allows you to have the laptop in the kitchen?
Motocross doesn't have a great image. To the uneducated it's seen as dirty, crude, UNSKILLED and generally unnecessary. But the fact that there is a professional WMX class almost immediately dispels a huge part of that image.
Someone, a teenage girl perhaps, who comes across the broadcast and would normally brush it off as a purely masculine sport - would be hugely surprised to learn that women compete and that they have their own respected championship. They would immediately think differently about the entire sport. In fact anyone who didn't know much about MX would be surprised. And besides all that, it's the right thing to do. We should provide as many ways possible to make the sport open to everyone. These girls have worked hard and they deserve to be out there.
Back on subject... I agree the British GB was a huge success due to the wide variety of classes competing. It's funny but watching those kids clear those jumps on their 85's is actually more spectacular in a way than seeing the adults do it. It's unbelievable what they can do on those little bikes.
Pit Row
At LL, the fastest female rider had a 2:09, 2:06 and a 2:04 in her three motos, better than 10 seconds a lap slower than any of the SB1 or SB2 motos. Do I even need to tell you what AC did to those times on his SuperMini?
That said, the top five in the WMX are very fast and fun to watch. The top ten are good. After that it drops off quickly. I've also seen a few out there this season that have no business being out there on the line in the WMX class.
The pro's, lots of single file racing, everyone knows their place and seems to accept it.
And can we have a prerequisite that Monster girls must be able to do three cart wheels in a row, and have to do them at least every half hour?
