Why is it that men think that anything having to do with sports is something that women don’t like or understand? Let me tell you something, as a 30-something year old woman, I’m proud to admit that I love motorcycle racing. Having been interested in bikes since I was a kid, why is it that men find my love for the sport so intriguing?

The rush of adrenaline, the roar of the engines, the mud, the blood, the beer…I get excited just thinking about it.

On my first trip to the track to watch motocross, I was so engrossed in everything that was going on I ignored my date. Was he upset? Yep – he thought that this whole macho-experience would teach me more about being a girl. I laugh thinking back to that date and that guy who wanted me to be more ‘girl-like’ and thought that a trip to the dirty and testosterone-filled world of motocross would set me straight. Wow, was he wrong.

After that, I decided to take up motorcycles myself. Signed up for a course to learn to ride and now I experience the freedom of riding all on my own. Oh, and the guy? Long gone – last I heard he had some blonde former-sorority chick in 5 inch heels and short skirts hanging off his arm and sporting a diamond. Doesn’t she know you can’t wear five inch heels or short skirts on a bike? I bet my date would be fit to be tied if he realized there was a woman’s motocross association too.

Do I race bikes? No – at least, not yet. I love riding my bike and love the thrill of the adrenaline I get when I’m at the track, but I haven’t yet taken to the track myself. I love to watch and when I do, I feel like a voyeur of sorts – it’s all very exhilarating.

There are many women in motocross who’ve achieved legend status of their own rights including Mercedes Gonzalez-Natvig, Lisa Akins-Wagner, Nadine Holbert, Gale “MX-Mom” Webb, Vicky Jackson-Bell, Doreen Payne, De De Cates, Dee Wood, Mary McGee, and Sue Fish to name a few, and all of which have my undying support and admiration.

So guys, there’s nothing wrong with a woman who loves motocross – just think of it in a different light. We love the same thing you do; we love the rush, the mud, the blood and the beer. Life is good. It turns us on, this is all good news for you.

I was browsing around on the Interweb when I happened across this site Kushtv.com. They bill themselves as “The Original High-Def Network” which I find odd as the quality of their videos is pretty questionable. After watching all of the episodes of the Korn show I started searching through the other shows and came across a show called ‘Life of a Privateer‘. The show follows a privateer who goes by the name of Willis. Willis is a member of a group called the MX Mafia, which looks like a bunch of Metal Mulisha rejects except they don’t do freestyle just MX. Anyway, it’s not a great show and you actually might lose some IQ points watching but for the people that like to see anything related to MX, like me, it’s a good find.
