The image stabilization of the GoPro Hero 9 is ridiculous! You can't even tell how rough this course was!
This race can be grueling, dusty, rough as hell and one of my favorites! The race site has seen hundreds of riders, year after year, for 9+ hours in one day and it shows! That being said, the land owners are so kind to let us take over their place for all the time it takes to prepare for the race and for the weekend of the race. Panther Creek Trail Rides is a great place for people with horses to camp and ride. They are horse people, not dirt bike people, so big thank you to them!
The race was so much fun! I had a great team that put their bikes and body on the line to race terrain they had no experience with. Lindsey and Sammy are from Oklahoma and they don't ever ride terrain like this. I put a blast out on all the women's dirt bike pages and encouraged all women and girls to make this year the biggest Ladies class ever! These 2 brave women stepped up and drove 5+ hours to run this monster of a race with me! I can't thank them enough!
12 other women stepped up to do the same. There were a few motocross riders that tried their hand at woods riding, as well as my tried and true tribe of woods racers I see all year. I love racing with these women! They push me like no other!
With 5 women's teams, we came in 3rd. The first place team is a stellar team of teenagers that put down some kickass lap times. The second place team was solid and consistent all day. I had some bike trouble, which really didn't make that much of a difference, other than it slowed me down for one of my laps. Sammy gave it her all but decided after a few get off's during her lap, it wouldn't be safe for her to go out again. Lindsey completed 3 laps and I got in 6. I am so proud of Sammy for making the smart decision to sit out. That can be as tough as fighting to continue. I am so proud of Lindsey as well. She had to do an unexpected lap when I had to come in with bike trouble and she didn't even hesitate. She told me after the race how empowered she felt, doing something so hard and accomplishing it. That is the main thing I love about this sport for women. The sense of accomplishment we get from doing something outside of our comfort zone and living to tell the tale. I want all women to feel that way! If you would have asked me 6 years ago if I would be riding a dirt bike through any of the shit that I have ridden through in the last year, I would tell you that you were bat shit crazy! So if you are thinking of trying something, anything, that is out of your comfort zone DO IT! You never know what you are capable of until you try!
Thank you to everyone at the MORE
