Freegun Underwear to back Women’s Class for Las Vegas Final

Top female riders back with their own class

Irvine, CA (November 3, 2011) – The
top women off road motorcycle racers will be back with their own class
for the GEICO AMA EnduroCross finals at the Orleans Arena on Saturday,
November 19^th. The female riders were a hit on live TV during
X Games 17 and the YouTube highlights video has over 1,700,000 views.
So Freegun Underwear stepped up to provide a purse for the ladies and
the top riders have been invited to participate.

Eric
Peronnard, the creator of EnduroCross, commented on the response that
the women’s class got during the X Games. “The women’s class was unreal.
We tried it a second time in Everett, Washington, at the second round
of the series, and the result was the same: People on their feet,
standing ovations, awesome response. The public just loves it. It also
doesn’t hurt with Maria Forsberg being in Rolling Stone magazine.
For the few critics who did not appreciate the courage of the female
racers, I would just challenge them to get a bike and enter an amateur
EnduroCross. I guarantee they would show respect after that!” 

Finally, when I met the people from Freegun Underwear I was so stoked to see them; so excited about their project!

A big thanks to them for being on the same page and helping our Women’s class!
