Here are some shots I got of Velocity Girl the other weekend.
I'm all new to mtb, thanks to my husband. We are just starting out on XC and I am freaking out with my new clipless pedals on little single track hills! Seeing you girls rockin' on this DH stuff gives me a lot of hope! Props to you all!

Welcome to the sport! I too got into biking with my husband and now I find that I am the one pushing us to go places and ride more...it's only a matter of time until you'll be there just remember to have fun!!!!I can remember how freaked out I was when I first rode with clipless pedals. What kind are you using? I switched form Shimano to Time pedals and it's been heaven! I find the Time pedals shed mud a lot better and are easier to get into and out of for me. Good luck!!!
WOW!!! You gals are an inspiration. Chix Rock!!! Some day Ill be worthy of posting a pic in a thread labeled "Rippin Chix"
Hey, as long as you're having fun, then your Rippin!! So if you have pics, go ahead and post them!lilstinky said:

Let's see those pics!!!
Another Time fan!!! I loooove their pedals. I actually rode xc pedals on my dh bike for quite a few years until their new ones came out because I just couldn't bring myself to run anything else.TreeSaw said:

I don't do anything cool and they let me post pics too LOL....just kidding...we all have to start somewhere! Just remember to have fun and you're golden!
YEAH! I am glad I am not the only one! They have REALLY helped my riding. In one year I have gotten WAY more confident (both XC and DH) and am much more committed to lines because I find them much more useable than my old Shimano cleats and I know that I can get in and out of them fast!Velocity Girl said:

Race run
went out and tried hitting a launch ramp for the first time. don't have any pics yet of me actually doing it straight on. but here is one of me going off the side. (I have to work up to things)
also there is a funny pic of me right after dropping a small stair set, and my bike compressed. I think it looks pretty funny!

This is my sis from C-Ville at one of Sue Heyward's womens' clinics. I think this was her first time back on a bike after getting concussed at the SM100.

Everything looks pretty neat... except that you also learned to ride helmetless!Shyrmp said:For me this year was all about learning new skills......

Anyway, have fun!

I miss Anka. She is such a sweetheart. That remind me, I need to send Sevanka a house warming gift. BTW, I love April's and Anka's number plates.:Jeenyus:. said:Anka Martin
I guess they must have ran out of plates. After all, there were 145 people racing. (big for this area)Carbon Fetish said:
I was somewhat confused as to why Anka was wearing a Honda/Turner jersey but racing an Intense...
Shhh... Good question. I think the small 5 spot is too big for her so thats the "lowest" travel bike she has for now. The Honda Turner team has protype 4X bikes but maybe she wanted more travel. It looks like April was racing on a 5.5 too..:Jeenyus:. said:I was somewhat confused as to why Anka was wearing a Honda/Turner jersey but racing an Intense...
Yup, they moved after Sea Otter.DH Diva said:
