FACES

"The Changing Face of Downhill"

Revolution, issue 17, p44-45

The latest issue of the Aussie mtb mag, Revolution, has a fantastic 2 page spread of 3 pretty teenage females who raced the Aussie downhill series and championships last year. I watched these girls at 3 of these races. They were pretty and cool! Off track they are just like any other teenage girls. On the track they are pure downhillers. I might be at the opposite end of life to these girls but I'd like to think we are part of the changing face of downhill. The more female faces seen on the tracks and in the mags (riding bikes not draped over them wearing almost nothing), the better. Come on girls! Just get on a bike and do it! It's fun!
