X Games 17: Women can't dunk, but have good fundamentals

Probably a brutal course, but I laughed.

I'm thinking that there is a lot of upper body strength needed for extreme motocross. Maybe more time at the gym and a big dose of steroids needed by the women in order to deal with this course?

This is seriously embarrassing to watch.

I dunno, I've seen some women X-road bikers on similar courses, and they handled it fine. I'm not learned on who's who, but maybe this heat just had bad bikers in it.

the mans version of this event was not much better , also if you watch the full and unedited video of this its not at all as bad.

the reason they were falling off allot is because it was a new type of event ( the men fell off allot as well ) and I think the riders were not accustomed to it particularly, the riders in the femail race were primarily versed in a different form of motocross racing I assume because there are far less women doing motor cross and different types of it so there is not as brad a skill set as with the male competitors ,

This one men's highlight video? Maybe they are just cherry picking. If so, that's a dick move.

yah , if you wach the full woman's one its not so bad , granted the men were better than the women but the clip makes it look far worse than it was in reality.
