right on.sanjuro said:I think the big thing is that you can find a thousand reasons to say women can't race dh, and the next thing you know is that there are no more women racing dh.
The brochure TBB sent me in the mail said they were providing WINNERS JERSEYS.stiksandstones said:Here, this will get this mess of a thread back on track....
What did the top 5 men and women make for prize money at Fontana?
they usually give winner's jerseys for being the series champion.biker3 said:The brochure TBB sent me in the mail said they were providing WINNERS JERSEYS.
So, what you're saying is that we should beat up our girlfriends so they'll get used to having scabs? wow, seems like overkill, but if think it will help.....:love:Lady Litton said:The most girls stood around and watched, so they wouldn't get dirty or have scabs/scars all over the place. This is how most girls are taught to think, "scars are bad." Many women I know can't even ride a bike and are afraid to try, beacuse they had no encouragement! What a huge loss for them! Most of us had to get past that crap. People still freak out on my scabs, lol.
Woa, so 10th place pro male made $76? That's better than the Maxxis Cup series! What was first place? :hot:stephanie said:the women made half of what the men did...$38 for getting 10th...
I sadly agree....woman are at a disadvantage in most phyical sports when they have to go head to head with men....this is a man's sport. We ride bikes built for men, course built by men, wear armor and clothes built for men....It sucks but I don't take it that seriously. I'm just out there for a good timeTranscend said:What exactly is there to stay out of? Women's bodies, in general, are genetically pre-disposed for things like child birth. Men's anatomies have a significant advantage when it comes to sports, simply from the way they have evolved.
Downhillers tend to be huge in this era (Rennie, Peat etc). Nico is an alien and didn't count. Clearly a woman is at a disadvantage were she to go head to head with a man. That is all he is saying.
Come on, man... the occassional stick in the spokes will do.W4S said:So, what you're saying is that we should beat up our girlfriends so they'll get used to having scabs? wow, seems like overkill, but if think it will help.....:love:
Just kiddin LD, it was great seeing you again and congrats on winning expert DH. I think women racers are hot.
2005 had the Slope Systair (not sure of spelling) competition in BC. True that there are women's specific xc and road bikes, but no dh bikes specific for women. I had to switch to the M3 to find the right fit. Women are making their mark, but it's slow going.Snacks said:I sadly agree....woman are at a disadvantage in most phyical sports when they have to go head to head with men....this is a man's sport.

They are not great images, but thanks anyway.luiz carlos said:Hey Stik....Great Pics.....
Any pic of Amiel or Havukeinen....
Tks
Nope, I think my MTB shooting is done for the year, no time to travel currently, but I think there be no shortage of pics from MSA...I know Transcend Mag will be there shooting for starters.luiz carlos said:Thanks man........
They are not great!!!????????
Ahhhh....Came onnnn.......
Yeah,Havukeinen is out of focus but still good...And Amiel's pic is perferct...
Are you going to Mont Saint Anne World Cup take some pics????
That ugly kid Maddog is in the background. It completely ruins the picture.luiz carlos said:And Amiel's pic is perferct...

Ha, ya...maddog made me feel way too old, he was speaking in a language I never heard of.Metal said:That ugly kid Maddog is in the background. It completely ruins the picture.
Photographers tend to not want to show their blurry, crappy pics.bizutch said:STIK. Don't be so elitist. Post all the pics you got man. Let us see some action shots...who cares about focus.
Those are 100 times better than somebody's frickin cell phone or a still from a video camera. Give em!
Cool, now worries can understand that. They look pretty cool the ones you've shown.stiksandstones said:Seriously, thats about it, the others are of people I do not know and the pics just suck-the whole lot is roachy, so this is all you get, I have shown enough crap for the week.
Not elitist, I have just seen rad pics my whole life, I want to take rad pics...but it has not happened yet, so I am picky.
Yeah, saw his pics yesterday and was mad at him!Bobodaclown said:Cool, now worries can understand that. They look pretty cool the ones you've shown.
Gary/Flipper has some cool pics up on his site from Vigo WC. www.flipper.co.uk
All his pics really seem to capture that something about a race or whatever the subject is. If that makes sense.Transcend said:Gary's pics always rule. Best in the business, bar none.
He doesn't bother with mags, why should he? It's a huge hassle and they don't pay very well.Bobodaclown said:All his pics really seem to capture that something about a race or whatever the subject is. If that makes sense.
I'm always shocked that more of his pics don't get in the mags.
Ya, I think that inspired the massive thread derailment! hahaSgt Brown said:LOL... You so beat me to that....
they may not have been the most attractive....but they are better than an effectively large sheet of paper. i remember having to trim an 8" x 8" piece at anglefire last year. numbers needed to be bigger, but the plates could stand up to a week of washing and changing bikes. definitely nicer than a paper plateSgt Brown said:Wow, what's with the Fugly numberplates? What's next? Heart shaped plates.... Lame...
Agreed, chicks racing is somewhat cool if they are impressive to watch, I just do not want to here how fast they are...unless they are truly fast.tacobelldhr said:I think alot of racers can't get over their massive amount of testosterone and except the fact that there are women in our sport. We should be so thankfull to have more people in mountainbiking, we need as many as possible. As long as they are having fun that should be all that matters.

Exactly stik...but like all men women seem to want to tell everyone how fast they really are. When they are not.stiksandstones said:Agreed, chicks racing is somewhat cool if they are impressive to watch, I just do not want to here how fast they are...unless they are truly fast.
Crap, I derailed it again...So, do you think there will be Prize Money at the next NORBA race, or do we owe the prize money at fontucky (albeit small) solely to Donny?
There will be $5k total between mens and Womens Pro endurance and gravity events at Sugar, per the resort.stiksandstones said:Agreed, chicks racing is somewhat cool if they are impressive to watch, I just do not want to here how fast they are...unless they are truly fast.

you have no idea how wrong you are on this one.biker3 said:Danica Patrick gives next to NO physical exertion in her sport.
Saying that open wheeled racer drivers suffer no physical exertion is mental. They routeinely get out so bruised and batterred (and dehydrated) that they have to be helped off the track.dhbuilder said:you have no idea how wrong you are on this one.
i'd pay big $$$ to anyone who would walk up to her, say that to her face, and not get his butt whipped by her.
Okay me saying no physical exertion was a little bit of hyperbole, to better state myself, I meant that there is a HUGE difference between the advantages of being strong in DH, MTX cycling in general than in race car driving where blobs like Tony Stewart excel. There is no winning with Fraser, I love it. We should chat/argue/heckle at the open, I don't think you'd despise me as much in person.Transcend said:Saying that open wheeled racer drivers suffer no physical exertion is mental.
