my latest achievement

The latest jump I've been working up to is over cafe side at Haldon. 

its a respectable 4ft2. 

Been watching the boys doing it for a while and practicing away at getting faster and landing further on other smaller jumps.

On sunday I had the opportunity to ride there and knew the time had come and I was finally ready to do it.

I followed my husband in for speed and everything was so perfect, the take off, the land, all of it. 

So I did it again but our friend paul filmed, I was so over excited by the first one that I messed up a little on my second not concentrating and did come off the land at the edge so yes i do scream "fcuk" in the video!

So totally stoked tho to have made it :D

"if she can do it"

In a previous post I reviewed "women of dirt" by awsomeland. Seems they've been at it again and the same group of ladyees have been making more lovely videos for us girls to watch and get jealous of their great skills. 

And this time its going to be shown on my favourite website pinkbike!

If She Can Do It - Official Teaser on Pinkbike

women of dirt

This is Darcy Turenne's section of women of dirt. I just downloaded the movie and actually really enjoyed it. 


The first section intro is Tammy Donahugh's husband being all cheesy and nagging her to play foosball, And I thought oh no! I just spent money on a cheesy acted out 90's style movie but straight away it gets so much better. 


Its stories of older girls, younger girls, dirt jumpers, 4x, downhillers, cross country riders and everything in-between. It nice how well rounded it is, representing the American female riding scene as a whole community. The section on the smith family is pretty sweet and just makes you say 'aw'. 


As the film is a few years old I had seen some of the sections before but to see it all put together in this story makes it well worth watching the film as a whole. 


Most films are either about racing or personal story's but this film combines the two which is pretty cool.


Its lovely to see that the girls help each other out but it also shows the men behind the women that support them and help teach and encourage.


Watch this video and you WILL want to go out and ride!!!!!!
