This weekend I completed my first DH race....and won!(not too hard with only two women in my class) I had a blast and can't wait till the next race! I've suffered through 3 years of XC racing only to win my first couple of beginner races and get a t-shirt then move up to the sport class and finish mid pack for the past 2 years . I race my first DH race and get a cool hat and a free season pass. This is the way to go if you like taking some risks and flying downhill! More women need to try this! It's soooo much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
