Do you race? Or just ride for fun?

I have only been to a handfull of hairscramble races and the ones that I went to I took my daughter for her to race in....at the three that she raced in last year she was the only female in her group and I never witnessed her being treated any differently than the boys.....just wondering how females are treated different out there riding....most guys that I know of will go out of their way to help out a female while riding a dirtbike or quad.

Point proven. I never have nor has anyone I ride with ever put down a female for trying to ride.

Wheeler, this is your quote. "PINK is awesome...anddddd if you ever get stuck when you're riding, you don't have to do like anything...people see the pink and come running to help ya!!!!!"

So which is it, do they treat you bad cuz you're a girl or do they give you extra help cuz you're a girl? I really don't see any guy out there giving a girl crap because she rides or races.

I ride mainly for fun.Mostly trails and woods riding.I like to race my buddies that ride a bigger quad;just to see if I can keep up or sometimes beat 'em.I think women riders are cool.I'd love to be able to share my interest in riding atv's and hotrodding cars/trucks with my significant other.I'd like more info about how to get into either hairscrambles and/or GNCC...

you get both. some guys, like my husband and most of you on here, like to see girls riding.

other jerks, like some of my husband's friends say I shouldn't be out there. I shouldn't do what I do. It's really a mix.....and it hurts when someone tells you you shouldn't do what you do just because you're a girl.

and hey, wasn't trying to fight with anyone. and people's words can be taken differently over the computer, because we don't hear a tone of voice or anything, we just read words...so what i thought might have been offensive, really was just a joke and I didn't know that because I'm only reading what ya'll are writing. And i don't think sherides has a moderator anymore, adn i was just trying to remind you guys of where you were talking. Just like people do when you get off topic.

Which is exactly what all of this is. Off topic.

So anyways. I have a race tomorrow. And it's going to be a muddy sloppy mess. But I'm excited. And I'll roost anyone who puts me down

good luck Wheeler!

She Rides! Does have a Moderator... Me! And I did respond to the off-topic and unacceptable slang... Lets all go back to being friends now everyone!

*Stoopidbot1* · 04-05-2008, 08:37 PM

I meant no offense Wheeler. Just like you don't like guys telling you not to ride or race, I don't like anyone telling me what I can or can't do. Especially on the internet. Good luck in your race.

Let's all be friends again!

Sorry about the slang, it's the way I talk.

Just out of curiosity are these jerks riders or just friends that don't ride. In the last four years that I have been riding on trails and mx tracks I have yet to see anyone not willing to help someone out wether they are a male or female.
