\nThe only thing that I am waiting for is to get my bike next year cause I had to sell mine unforunatley! Still hatin that I did that! Can\'t wait to get back on it!
\n
\nTo all the ladies that have the drive keep it up for sure it will be worth it in the long run cause there is rarely any female stunters!!! Lot of people are inpressed that any girl that is!!! Hope to meet up with all the riders sometime Jessica Maine was my inspiration! \r\n

Point proven then....but we are ALL tied together, the more successful the females r the more attention the sport will get...same for the males.
\r\n
\r\nWe r all on the same team, I just wanna c the girls step up and take the same sort of risks (w riding, w jobs, w promotion, etc) that the guys hav been taking for years Bc I feel like the opportunity is there to b had.
\r\n
\r\nIt just needs to b taken and that girl(s) will succeed and forever have a better life as a reward for taking thatrisk (regardless of how much $ they do or don\'t make). Stuntridint has afforded me andmany others opportunities wewouldve never had otherwise and personally I wouldn\'t change a thing\r\n

\r\nWhen I was with my ATV in 2006, I would want to do a comp in France where I was the only girl and the only ATV... And the organizer said to me "if you just want to ride because you want to show that you\'re existing, don\'t ride."
\r\n
\r\nWith my 125cc before, or even now, I always remember this sentence. This guy was true.
\r\n
\r\nAnd yes, because I\'m just a girl it permised to me to have my 600rr, and I didn\'t really have the money and the job to pay one! KTM France helped me in exchange I promoted his bike in the 125cc world.
\r\n
\r\nWith a big bike, I do the same things that with my 125... And when I see in France the girls on 50cc and 125cc who rocks better than me, I can say that we are coming, girls are present Teach don\'t worry

\r\nSorry for my bad English! \r\n

getting a little boring in here so i thought i'd ask...where are the female stunt riders? i know where a couple are, but it seems like after a pretty big push by the women last year to be included, be equal, yadda yadda yadda, they seem to have all but disappeared. only 2 or 3 even showed up to indy where the entire industry was basically in attendance and i never hear or see anything from anyone really.

jessica maine had it going on and can't be the only woman who has half a business brain and some motorcycle skills....why hasn't someone picked up where she left off? there is a need imo for a female star yet i don't see anyone pushing that side of the sport forward.

come on ladies, step up, take a risk (on the bike and off) and make something of yourself! now, i know that making a living or being a professional stuntrider is not necessarily the goal, but i feel like there are plenty of opportunities out there for women and they are not taking walking through those open doors, or even trying to open any doors.

hell, if i had more time on my hands, i feel like i could single handedlly make any decent looking and decent riding female some $ and potentially a career in the sport.

thoughts?

There are girls doing a lot for this sport - Leah being 1 - Always making things accessible to fans etc... And some of these girls are really good riders. It's a start, and I known 2012 will see a lot more of it too.

What's all this talk that I 'claim to ride but can't' it's getting a little overused now. The first 2 months I learnt to stunt, we put a little clip together (like everyone is asking for) and I was slated for it..? You all want to see videos and pics etc but it's not exactly easy when the other stunt riders just want to criticize and show disrespect. So posting up pics is ok, but the key is to get better at riding so people have something good to watch - So that's what we do.

Both myself AND Leah, as far as I am aware, have given up working full time to dedicate to stunt riding in all aspects of that including the business side. It will take a while for stunt riding to be taken completely seriously, but when it does, it will be a whole different game.

There are lots more girls getting into stunting now - We just need to do this together - Hate just detracts from the image of stunt riding.
