I hear ya on that one! I met April This year at the Norba Race at Snowshoe and she is very down to earth. She chilled in our store for a while and signed posters. People are going to be opinionated and judgmental.... but whats best of all is April's reaction to that. She doesn't let that crap bother her.... she just goes big. And If I could ride like she does and have the looks too...Why not show it off and be Proud to have it. She works hard for it. She might be in a super tight skirt in the posters but she can back her **** up with skill on the bike . And for all the people who are obsessed with putting April down, maybe they should channel that jealousy and hate into riding. OR get a hobby.tmx said:

i just wanted to start a thread on female freeriding. the racing thing has been done over and over again. freeride and racing are 2 different things 
as far as i know, there are no pro female freeriders yet. maybe there are, and i haven't heard of them yet. i wanna see some girls getting to the rampage level. take your racing skills, and go send it big. it's gonna happen eventualy. females need to step up the freeride scene.
I understand your point, but most of the women that post here don't really care if your racing or freeriding as long as your riding, (and most women on this board partake in several different types of riding) . We don't really get exclusive, and we respect all aspects of riding. Most of the pict threads that pop up on this board showcase all forms of riding, and include everyone. I think that that's why we have created such a tight community here and so many of us have become friends outside of the computer and in real life. We have all got mad respect for eachother regardless if we're cross racing, bmxing, freeriding, xc, road racing, dh racing, urban riding ect. We like to see it all. Keep the pictures 'em coming gals!zachdank said:i didn't say there was anything wrong w/ racing.
no need to be so deffencive. you act like this is your thread and your forum. actualy eveyone who posted pics on my thread have stuck to the freeride thing. and that's alright if most women on this forum don't care if it is racing or freeriding. even though i don't think you nessasaraly speak for all women on this forum. it's not a special club is it? i think there will probably be alot more females to post here that aren't in your special little group. i've been checking this forum for alot longer than my post count indicates. all that i'm interested in is seeing the progression of womens freeride. i do have an interest since i am one of the leaders of freeride revolution in the U.S. i'm not hatin on you, i just started this thread to push female freeride. you just seem to be a little territorial w/ your forum. i'm not trying to invade, or be negative. like i said, there i have no problem with racing, or bmx, or xc, or whatever. i just started this thread to see what kind of female freeride action i could bring out of the shadows. i know there is alot of unseen talent out there, and i'm trying to find it. and i'm deffinatley not down w/ the 2 page arguement w/ you. to each their own. you have your opinion, and i have mine. i can respect that, can you?DH Diva said:
I guess my point is, I really don't care if there is a number plate pinned to the front on a bike in a picture or not, as long as it's a girl ripping. If my plate wasn't on in those two pictures, you couldn't tell if I was in a race or not. And in case you didn't notice, I did post a freeride picture earlier in the thread. A lot of the trails that races are held on are freeride trails rest of the year. So who cares if there's a number plate in the picture??zachdank said:
I really don't care either way if you approve or not of the nature of the pictures I post. It doesn't much impact my day. I don't feel that the pictures I posted were that out of line, but obvious they got your panties in a wad and for that I'm sorry.zachdank said:you are a chick, and it's plain to see that you rip on a bike, so i respect you and your skills. i want nothing but to see female riding get bigger and better. not saying that it is not good now. but i know in the next few years it will go off. peace
