Knowing what I do of myself, and the way my mom raised me, she told me I could always do whatever I wanted as long as I set my mind to it, but climbing trees is dangerous, driving fast cars is dangerous, and riding motorcycles is suicide. So even tho I did and do all these things, I think about the things I was told and remember that I can seriously damage myself.

Look at the lil girls out doing motocross at 3 and 4 years old. Till they take their helmets off, you dont know they are girls, and they are out there tearing it up just as much as the boys. I would hope that we see them on the podium one day with the boys as well!
Yayyyy!!! Someone gets what I'm trying to say!!! I really believe that the problem is societal and not biological. Thank you!
