Girls getting dirrrrty!


Yeah....first of all you're gross...and if you want one of those websites, google something else. I'm talking about mountain biking chicks getting dirty whilst learning the fine art of skilled riding. So this year i've decided to sign up for Rocky Mountain's Dirt Series. A camp i've heard oodles about from many friends and randoms who come in the shop. Everyone raves about the quality of coaching and how much their riding abilities increased post-camp. So, after a few years of fumbling my way down trails and mentally crossing my fingers before many a roll or drop, i've decided to find out how to properly ride down things. So here's the deal, you check out the dirt series website and find the camp taking place closest to you, or the camp in the place you'd like to ride....then just pony up the cash and you're in. The camps accomodate riding skills from total begginer (like how to properly sit your bike, ride a strait line, stand on the pedals in neutral position) to how to huck a 20' gap jump.
Be careful about thinking this one over for too long, because the camps fill up pretty dern quickly. I myself am going to the Co-ed (oh yes boys, you can come ride with the girls for a couple of them...)Whistler camp on July 25/26. And let me tell you, i'm stoked. I'm one of those people who does most of the things i do by accident or copious amounts of prayer. i can't wait to roll up to a drop and actually know how to do it...i mean really how...like what to do with my feet, where to put the nose of the bike, when to flick....all those things that the boys can't tell you because they just "do it".....no more "here, just watch me"....no more..."well i don't know HOW to do it....just ride up to it and you'll figure it out...". Don't get me wrong, balls of hardened steel are useful and admirable....but i'd really like to have a closet full of skills i can sort through when i'm doing things instead. So there you have it, The Dirt Series is a golden oportunity not to be missed....c'mon ladies....how good would it feel to show up the boys as you charge off a drop and rip through a birm??
BRAP! BRAAAPPPPP!!!!!!
