Girls Mix Vid

Jessica Ausec is wanting to put together a girls video. It doesn't have to be ground breaking.... it just has to be you having fun. There's a deadline of August 15th for everyone to get all their stuff in. That's a good amount of time for you ladies to get stuff done. This footage will be used not only for the xgames next year, but also used for other things.... props might be interested.... nothing is set in stone. So please pass this on and let me know who is interested and please send in contact info so that she can get in contact with you.

You can leave your contact info in a comment below or send it in a message to the girls bmx spot myspace or Facebook (links are on the side of the home page) or send and email to girlsbmxspace@hotmail.com

What are you up to today?

I just finished work… Chilling out for a bit and then going for a ride somewhere.

Tell us something about yourself people probably don’t know…

I have a twin brother. He doesn’t ride and we don’t look a thing alike. haha

Any plans to travel any time soon?

Hopefully yes. I wanna hit up the states in September/Octoberish.

If someone asked you why they should come visit Brisbane, what would you say?

Non rider: Beaches and theme parks. Rider: All the cool people to ride with and the good parks, plus the weather.

How many other girl riders are there in Australia do you think?

Umm.. not to sure in Australia, though I know there is a hand full in Brisbane and more keep popping up. Which is awesome to see.

Out of the hundreds of parks there are in Queensland what is your favorite to ride and why?

I love some many. But I think Kuraby, it just has fun quarters and banks, and even some little ledges

What Femmebmx is all about-

“Only boys ride bikes...” says a 9-year old girl. “I didn’t know girls could do that...” says a 27-year-old woman. Many females of all ages are unaware that opportunities to participate in predominately male sports exist. BMX is one of those sports. FemmeBMX is designed to show girls that not just boys ride bikes!

“The boys in the neighborhood told me girls can’t ride well and that I can’t keep up...” Yes, this mentality still exists! Girls get told they can’t, based on the mere fact that they’re female! There are female BMXers all over the world that put the males riders around them to shame with their stealth on the track or shredding abilities at the trails or in the park!

Unfortunately, these girls can be hard to find. Why? It still is not uncommon for girls to get static from their male peers when attempting BMX and other male-dominated sports for the first time, turning them off from the sport altogether.

FemmeBMX was designed to remove the intimidation factor female riders sometimes experience by creating a positive girls-only environment. Female riders will develop the skills it takes to keep up at the park, trails or race track, through a positive, motivating progression-based program designed specifically for girls and women!
