Spinksy Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 At least TRY to introduce more girls into the sport not scare them away!!!!! I definitely think more girls should take up trials. Would make the sport a lot more interesting and a lot more competitive (Im not being sexist)......HTT 4 Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Would make the sport a lot more interesting and a lot more competitive Only if they get rid of Femina, but then there'd be complaints? I don't think you'd really notice the effects for a while, really, just 'cos to make it more competitive they'd have to ride as well as the top riders, which won't happen overnight? To be honest, it doesn't matter who they are if they're into the riding really, that's sorta what it's about, not what chromosones you've got?

crazy_gap girl Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 no body can talk about girls in trials because people either take it the wrong way or think there sexist or what ever..i think it should be something that shouldn't be made fun of you should respect it and OTN im not going there again!!!!! Only if they get rid of Femina, but then there'd be complaints? I don't think you'd really notice the effects for a while, really, just 'cos to make it more competitive they'd have to ride as well as the top riders, which won't happen overnight?

Mark W Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 That's only sorta inter-disciplinary splitting though. What that guy was saying was making trials more competitive, and if they're still in a seperate section then it means that they aren't riding against possibly better riders. When I rode comps, I didn't really expect to win (I still "rode to win", though), but I expected to learn, which I did. If you're riding against better riders, it's way better 'cos you just push yourself more and end up riding better, as well as being able to learn from them.Just out of curiosity, was Lois Morgan riding the normal Inter categories at the YMSAs? I seem to remember she was. Seemed like a good idea though...EDIT: Oh, and something else - do you think that the way that sponsorship deals are set up undermines female riders? Like there are some female riders (not naming any names here) who aren't as good as the male riders on the team, but have obviously been put on the team to show "look, girls can ride too, come buy our stuff". That's possibly going to attract more revenue, but by de-meaning female riders like that, isn't that also a negative thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 the sponsorship thing.. its possibly abit of both..... and i think your right.. companys may just want girls on ther team to show of in away, but in some cases not in trials but in other sports like snowboarding the girls that ride deserve it!!, me personly dont think im good enough to be on cb.. if that answers your question.. Nah, honestly, when I said "Naming no names" that's 'cos I didn't have any, it was just looking at past trends. Like with Rachel Burdett, she lost out but got a place 'cos she was a girl? And other female riders in the past have picked up sponsorship deals for clothing companies or whatever purely on the basis that they're girls. It also makes business sense for companies. So yeah, it wasn't anything aimed at anyone now at all, it was just from looking at trends for sponsorship before, so don't worry about it. I also wouldn't worry about people and whether they think you're worth sponsorship or not. The only opinions you should really give any time for are those of Cleanbikes. It's them sorting you out, not some random on a net forum, so don't stress over shit like that. If Cleanbikes are happy with you, so what if some third party isn't?

IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE A NEW FACE THAT WANTS TO LEARN THE WAY OF THE BIKE!!!!Well i'm gonna call you 'shouty dave' from now on.Clearly, 99% of the internet lack the humour gene.Jesus christ.Incest is a f**king day at nursery for the type of jokes i or others come out with, to both male and female sex, makes no difference.There's a time and place for it, and a pubic forum started by a 13 year old isn't.
