I know you, leah, are overseas; and i know that some girls are getting out there, making vids, competing, etc; but nothing is ever handed to you (except maybe an opportunity to shine on tv and at all xdl events for the low low price of simply showing up to the event) and you girls need to put in work on the riding side and the biz side just like all the successful riders in the sport have/are.

+1 but at the same time if they are gonna have a mens/womens comp, then they should be payed on both sides I say
\r\n
\r\nVery good points from Teach but I can see how the women are upset too.\r\n

\r\n \r\n paid for what? the women need to offer something more than just showing up in order to command payouts imo. they are where the men were roughly 10 years ago...we never got paid then, at least not more than 100 bucks for winning.
\n
\nthe women of this sport need to do a better job of building the women\'s side of the sport, then they can command paying sponsors, paying shows, and paying contests.
\n
\ni\'ve never seen a mens contest with 2 or 3 people entered...yet i consistently see womens contests where it\'s not a contest, everyone podiums. that\'s ridiculous
\n
\nxdl indy had 3 women...3 women! thats ludicrous considering that INside XDL gave tons of shine to the women last year, there\'s TV this year, and the fact that Indy is moto freaking GP and the ENTIRE industry is in attendance.
\n
\nyou women are asking to be treated like side shows, asking to be overlooked and asking to not be considered....at this point, if some of you don\'t band together and improve the womens side of things, i\'ll be arguing my case of not wasting the spectators or my (the male competitors) time next year at any event, never mind Indy, the best and biggest event of the year.
\n
\nyou want reward? you gotta earn it. you don\'t get it bc you have long hair and boobs. period.
\n
\nagain, these posts/trheads are only meant to try and motivate the women which will in turn make them bigger and in turn help out the general sport of stuntriding.
\n
\nnobody is owed anything, ever in life. you have to earn it and go out and get it.\r\n

+fucking one million!!!!!!!
\nThats how it is. 3 girls riding and asking money for that, is not right. That means no matter what you do or how well you perform, you will get payed. The event holders should be man enough to provide something and as we saw from Poland, the girl who rode got something.
\nDont wanna start an another bullshit about Stunt GP, it was how it was but i agree with Teach 100%(except the boob part. Showing them will open many doors(mostly bedroom ones though))\r\n

Just wanted to say thanks to XDL for having a real women's cup with payouts, the rest of the world could take a lesson.

So far two EU events have advertised a "women's cup" but offer no payouts - sorta sounds like a free show to me.

Just wrote an article on the subject: http://www.stuntbums.com/articles/48...ns-competition
