Where are all the women of DH at?!?

Agreed...I should have been more specific. Not all 6" travel bikes would be suitable for DH.

 

I think if people can afford it, a Slopestyle/freeride type bike is perfect for Woman to race DH with.

some people just go all out and race 8'' bikes built light. I met a girl out at Fontana during the Golden State races that runs a Giant Reign for both DH and 4X.

 

I MISS WOW. Those weekends were so much fun.

 

Of course!

How to get it to you is a tricky one, though, since we won't be doing Fontucky this next time.

 

Pato - Julia read this thread and is taking you up on your offer. Julia needs to borrow a DH bike for the 16th.

Traci - Maddie and I can keep ourselves busy while you DH.

Julia has raced herself at Fontana, the only time she had competition it was one girl. Most of the time they have her racing with the boys. Julia doesn't mind racing the boys. Thou, she would really love to have more girls her age to ride with. Even at the BMX track they have her racing with the boys. Or they make her race with older adults (experts). It's made her a better rider and given her good experiences.

Sdyeti - Just like you Julia is always looking for more girls out there. Julia was so excited to read your thread. Keep us updated on what you learn, it's a great thread.
