This is totally off topic, but Megan: You don't happen to be a Megan that married a guy with the last name "Black," do you? Because I used to ride with a Megan and last I heard she was engaged to her boyfriend of that last name... if not, nevermind.

And because I can't help but put my two cents in, I think it's great to be able for women to stay feminine on their bikes. A friend of mine who skis professionally gets criticized for the same thing, and her answer is that she's a role model to young girls (which you all are, even if you're not pros) and she doesn't want them shying away from sports because they think it'll make them "butch." She's proud of what she looks like and she wants to encourage young girls to pursue the athletic look, not the anorexic one. Of course, her sponsors then go and airbrush bigger boobs onto her in their ads, but that's another topic, I think...

nope, I'm just a news reporter from Seattle.


and very good points, btw, i totally agree with you!

yeaaaah for you...I already was over that post but whatever....I'm all about looking like a bada** chick when I ride cuz I can and I do and I ride like that too...but girly is cool too if that's what kind of chick you are...Thanks for chiming in...

edit: but then again I have a bunch of tats and like looking tough...not into being girly...but I can look sexy as hell though...

and let's see those pics...I've never seen a chick riding in a mini...I actually thought they were a joke and weren't actually sold (never saw them in a store either)...Don't your thighs get scraped to hell when you wear a mini and crash?? Makes no sense to me other than purely for looks and I like being recognized for my ass kicking riding...not how nice my ass looks...cuz my riding makes me feel empowered regardless of what I'm wearing...

you may have been over that post, but i wasn't and am still not. i have a nose piercing that makes me look pretty tough too, thats why i dig the mini, its a nice contrast to the staple in my nose. i don't really have any issues with thigh scrapage its usually knees that are scabbed up, lucky for me, i dig scabs.

i used to be really fat. the fact that i can look good in a short skirt and ride a bike without feeling like im going to have a heart attack makes me feel good.
its nice to be recognized for how well i ride as well as how nice my ass looks because i've worked hard for my ass, i like to show it off. however, i am showing it off for me, not to impress anyone else. it may make no sense to you, but it makes sense to me and thats all i'm concerned with.




* i have a rule about not posting when i'm pms'ing. its a good rule.

 

[laura]

let's see some pics of you " kicking some major ass" in a mini skirt.

hahaha, i'm camera shy, and i'm not throwing down quite as much fat **** as your girl and VG. i'm a newb.

well, I said I was over that post cuz I thought I somewhat made amends for posting it...but if you want to still try and bag on my opinion feel free...

That's so wonderful that you lost so much weight...as you may be proud of how you look now and that's kudos to you...but what about my point of view and that would be that...well, I've been gocked and whistled at since I was like 10...gets very old and I prefer not to have that attention whatsoever...makes me uncomfortable and don't need it all day every day...I didn't do anything to deserve it other than the luck of the draw when it came to genetics...so in my defense I prefer to be recognized for what I've accomplished rather than what was handed down to me...you've accomplished losing weight and so to show it off a mini is hands down the best way to do it...My preference is to be "just one of the guys" and not separate myself in any way...which would be by wearing a mini and bringing my sexuality into it...it just would ruin the whole vibe of the group...and the fact that minis just ARE NOT PRACTICAL for DHing and especially FRing...I can see where they'd be comfortable for road biking or even XC...but you won't catch me wearing a mini off of a 10ft drop and scraping my legs to hell just for the satisfaction of looking good in a mini...I can do that when I'm shopping...

[QUOTE/]* i have a rule about not posting when i'm pms'ing. its a good rule.[/QUOTE]
Do you not talk to people as well when you're PMSing...cuz you could say something wrong too...learning to forgive and forget is the best thing you could learn in life...just let it go...
I have no problem with admitting I stated my opinion a little on the bitchy side...doesn't mean I change my opinion...I still think minis are lame for me...but I'm sure you girls look cute in yours...

 

[goodtobeIrie]

hahaha, i'm camera shy, and i'm not throwing down quite as much fat **** as your girl and VC. i'm a newb.

I'm camera shy too...but I let him video me so I can learn to improve my riding by watching myself (then he grabs pics from it)...and I'm pretty new too...had my DH bike for a year and just got back on it after about 5 or 6 months...that pics about my 3rd time back out...although I will say I ate S**t off of that road gap yesterday...I'm claiming it was the wind but it's a good thing the camera wasn't on cuz it might prove me wrong...
edit: difference in riding style may be a reason why you can get away with a mini and I can't...I was serious about the 10ft drop...and believe me I've got as much protection on as possible...no skin showing...

ladies and gentelmen, we have closure. its good to hear your background, now i see where you are coming from. if i wasnt so far from chico i would suggest we meet up for a ride sometime soon. i learn best by watching other people and riding with women really makes me step up my game.

you hit the nail on the head as to why i dont post when i pms. i become an insane irrational bitch. quite annoying and inconvinient as it were. i say bring on menopaus.

yeah i agree with that. when id o get pics taken, my husband and i go through them and talk about what im doing right and wrong. and i am not hucking off of anything taller than me in a skirt hahaha. guess i should try to get over my camera shyness. too bad its raining today.

 

[biggins]

yeaahhh...that first sentence made me laugh...I'm really not as much as a b**ch as I first came off as...actually my feelings get hurt when I start s**t here or in person...ruins my day more than it does theirs...probably why I wrecked so hard yesterday...anyways, if you ever make it out here(vice versa)...a ride together would be excellent...as I never ride with females...aren't very many here that ride...and I learn more with the group of guys I ride with cuz they're better than most people..they should be sponsored pro freeriders...but I would give anything to ride with females, especially ones that are close to my ability or hopefully even better...

you hit the nail on the head as to why i dont post when i pms. i become an insane irrational bitch. quite annoying and inconvinient as it were. i say bring on menopaus.

yeah...somedays I wish I had a little hole to crawl into when I have PMS and that way I couldn't piss anyone off...

It's not just cameras for me...I actually dislike when people watch me ride...trying to get over that so I can maybe race this year...how long you been riding?? do you race/sponsored?? I know Velocity Girl is pro...looks like she rips...do you ride mostly downhill or do you freeride as well?? sounds like you FR as well cuz of the hucking comment...peace...

[Full Trucker]

Alright alright alright, I'm glad everyone seems to be getting along better now! Cause heck, even I was offended after reading the first page! And if it'll help to put some final closure to the mini-no mini/girly girl-tough chick/sex sells-skills sell debate, I'LL go out and get some pics of ME riding in a miniskirt and post 'em next to Ms. Black's... Now I ain't no Cedric "The Most Amazing Butt in Downhilling" Gracia or anything, and I don't know what point that'll prove, but it will certainly help me get in touch with my feminine side... Hell, I'll even do it in a pink shirt, proper!

now THAT'S what i'm talking about, but if you look better in a mini than i do, i'm going to be upset








p.s. your avatar is hitting the cow bell to the same beat as the techno music i'm listening to right now....rad!

This is Velocity Girl (can't log out of Freak's account to get into my own :mumble: )

It can be tough getting over "stage fright". I was lucky that I've always had super supportive guys to ride with who watch what I do and help critique it so I can do better. The first two things I always say when I crash are "how's my bike" and "what did I do wrong" I still always hear spectators on the side of the course, but I think gave up caring what anyone thought after taking a couple crashes in front of everyone....it's actually kinda cool to hear everyone start cheering once you pick yourself up and get back on the bike!

Oddly enough though, I think I get more stage fright riding in front of girls than guys. I fall victim to the "if they can do it I should be doing it" more with girls than they guys (even though it still happens when riding with the boys....they have a tendency to encourage my stupidity!!) I'm lucky that their are some gals who kick some major a** on our local scene so it keeps pushing me to to better.


Oh, and FullTrucker.....those are pics I'd love to see!!!!

 

[Mocha]

I don't have any pictures from this season, but here's one of me from summer 2003.

 

[DH Diva]

Here's one of my only recent non-racing photos. It's not steller but it is only a week after I got back on my bike from being out for 8 months for a broken shoulder. It's Moab back in May of this year. I can't wait to get healed up so I can go back next spring!!

 

[Ciaran]

p.s. I look fabulous in a miniskirt.

Hah! There is no way you look as hot as I do in a mini skirt. Just ask my GF.

You know, I don't care what anyone wears when they ride, as long as they ride. Though I do think that it is pretty cool that a girl can be all girly girl and still be tough and all. Judging from the pix, I think that I would be the one intimidated to ride with you ladies. Y'all are pretty hard core (seriously).

Oh yeah, my GF has many piercings and MANY tattoos, including a full back piece and is the most girly girl I know.

OK, I am done. Thanks ladies for letting me post here.. I am now going back to silently daydreaming about Mud Hunnies.

 

[MTB_Rob_NC]

Here Megan

:love:

 

[JRB]

Yeah - FT's got nothing on Megan in a mini.

 

[TurnerGrl]

If I can figure out how to post this...me at Diablo at the end of August. Had to resize it so not sure how clear it might be. Going back this weekend....woo hoo!

 

[tmx]

this thread rules!! i only have a couple riding pics of me and they're from races so i ain't postin' them.

i'd have a ton of fun free ride shots if the fellas i rode with shot me as much as i used to shoot them. had to put the camera down this season in protest and they've all been gripping about the lack of updated photos. hrmff, i don't even have outdated photos let alone updates ones.

if i may ask you all, albeit late, about the april lawyer thing. have any of you heard the lude comments she endures during her practice and race runs? maybe it only happened back east, but there were some kooks in the trees at west virginia and mt snow aggressively hollering some pretty nasty crap at her everytime she passed. it was really unnerving and i hoped she was so focused she couldn't actually hear them. one female friend said she thought april deserved it for posing as she has. i disagree.

another late comment on the t'n'a vs. riding skills thing. marzocchi bomber girls this year are real live ripping chicks. the posters they were signing at interbike had a smidgeon of sexpot in a mock rock and roll photo that accompanied a few solid riding shot of them. i thought it was cool and makes the t'n'a more bearable. marz also made these sickly delicious shocking pink forks for each of them!! i 'm sooooo jealous. i was wondering if the fellas will be horribly let down that the girls aren't aren't porn stars or posing in suggestive positions.

Damn girl!!!! Now there's some skills! I can't wait to show them to my husband...maybe then he'll teach me how to jump & stuff!

 

[MudGrrl]

Next weekend, I will........


RIDE NAKED!!!!!!


of course I can barely make it over a wet curb without hurting myself...
so, it will be a VERY boring ride, aside from getting arrested


Anyway, Great Job to all the Chicks with Skills!
Gotta let ya know that you're an inspiration!!!!!!

LOL!! I was thinking along the same lines and then I realized that I was going to Diablo to "be a poser" and take lots of pics of the jackalopes rippin' up the mountain. In this case, I believe the more I wear the better

 

[onetime]

wow, its so great to see all there threads about women rocking. its so easy to get into a riding slump without other women to ride with. especially when your the kind of women who would ride naked, or play a practicle joke. don't get me wrong, i love the company of guys, but as a women you will always be a little bit of an outsider. it's so rare to find a group of girls to get down and dirty with, especially on a dh bike.

LOL!!! A couple of us did that after one of the races. We went back up to the top of the course, stripped down to only shoes, socks, helmet and goggles and took some pics It was a riot....definitely recommended for some good laughs and good memories

 

[Morryjg]

I'LL go out and get some pics of ME riding in a miniskirt and post 'em next to Ms. Black's...

Time to throw down in a skirt FT. Maybe you could bust out a utlikilt for the action shot..... https://secure.utilikilts.com/indexold.htm

HER Photos do rock...

She looks like a pro. Doing this. I wish i had a girl like that.

 

[zachdank]

...wrong user account...nevermind this post..

 

[goodtobeIrie]

Nice pics everyone...nice to see some of females ripping... :devil:

Megan you have once again proven me wrong of a skilled rider in a mini...Looks like fun...Are those heeled gogo type boots you're wearing?? and if so do the heels help when you land??

<---thinks there should be naked DH races held..
but would hate to see the consequences of a bad wreck...
