This Gal is a former MXer, 18 years of racing, I still wish I had my bike. I had a 02 CR250 2 stroke, I had retired from racing in 2000, got the itch once again. My first race back was in March of 02 at a surpercross nite race in south Jersey. I was the only expert woman rider so they put me in with the 30+ expert guys. I got the holeshot and did the double out of the first turn and a guy bumped me in the air, I landed on my right shoulder breaking it in 12 places. I drove home and that was the last time I raced. I won a few stadium supercrosses (Giants Staduim twice, Foxboro and Daytona)district 6 women's champ, NJ State Champ and a bunch of wins at Raceway Park. Hmmm, a CRF250 sure would be nice, got the itch again .... UTOH!

Wow awesome! I assume you mean atco in south jersey? Giants staduim? man the last race I can remember there was the 1987 camel SX. Well congrats on your career.
I actually spent last weekend teaching my GF how to ride. Borrowed a friends XR-80 and had her do laps in my driveway. So far she has only crashed into my house once so I think she will be clearing the elevator at e-town in no time
Actually being in the air on a MTB and a 224lb MX bike, for me, is alot different. Everytime I do jump my MTB I seem to tip to the right, since the MTB's are so light just the tip of the head may cause the tipping. On the MX bikes since they are much heavier that ofcourse track better. If they start to lean to one side, just simply weighting the oppisite foot peg will bring the bike back, or last resort WFO.. lol, holding the gas wide open will straighten the bike too, just as if you jump and your front wheel is coming up tapping the rear break will drop it and the same is true if your starting to endo hold the gas wide open will level you out. Sorry for babbling, but I miss riding alot.
