J9 riding at her local practice area.....natural granite in the OZ bush.

Haven't put a vid up of her in quite a while. Her accuracy is getting a lot better and she's strong as. She rides with Morgan and they get in three training sessions a week. Both are doing degrees so that takes up a fair bit of training time. She's been riding just over 4 years now and is getting ready to compete in Canberra and NZ when the Worlds come out to OZ.

Very impressive, can definitely see the improvement from her last vid!

This is meant to be a compliment so I hope it's not taken the wrong way, haha, but Janine 'looks' like a bloke when riding which most other female riders don't... Really cool.

With guys like Patricio and Morgan training her she didn't have much choice! ...She would rather be compare to the blokes, because that's how she wants to ride.

btw thanks for organising the new XTP. The old one is starting to show serious signs of wear :)

Awesome awesome riding, for once a girl that can actually ride PROPERLY! I hate the way girls who ride like any average guy, get massive props just because they're a girl. Equal rights for women, if they ride like shit they should be told, but Janine rides really f**king well, wish her the best of luck on the competition circuit!

That frame's been welded 6 times?! Good lord!

Yeah... but I don't think it is just because the frame is so thin. It has cracked a on both sides where the top down tube is welded to the to rear stays. I think it's cause by the longer lever (4 finger Magura) we fitted. She wanted a bit more power from the brakes. She has a pretty good booster but I think the extra leverage is forcing the frame apart. Just recently it has also cracked where the rear brake mounts lugs are welded to the frame. Although it did surprised us when we noticed cracks on the top weld both sides of the bottom bracket.

Usual problem with welding... localized heating. We don't re-heat treat afterwards so it will always crack again. We'll just keep weldin' the old girl up to keep her going hahahaha. She has a new XTP sitting in the garage at home but we are saving it till a couple of months before the Worlds.

The Monty with the buggered forks is Morg's bike. He's gone through about 3 sets of forks on that bike. Normally they come apart at the bottom bearing mount but this time he just sheared off the top of the stem above the top bearing! Probably from practicing front wheel moves over and over. Really luck not to get seriously hurt as it happened about 5 minutes after the very first move (front wheel move) in his new vid. http://www.vimeo.com/3845568 That could have been real nasty!.

Same deal for the Monty. Been welded a couple of times, but he has a new one sitting down stairs in the garage .... waiting. It's been fantastic though. He rides three times a week every week and he's had it for about a year. Copped a flogging and keeps going.

Hey Patricio! How are you? Happy birthday for the other day man... hope you had a good one. Yeah... your star pupils! You had a huge influence on the way they ride. You're still the bench mark when they train! Your intensity and variation of lines was always first class and Morg still looks at stuff and says "wonder if Pat could get up there?" hahahaha

We watch for your vids! You look pretty bloody good in the last couple... think you're a long way from "losin' it!"

I know they really miss training with you. Maybe one day you'll be back ? ... :D
