Hey Roxy ..

WOW Good to hear you are OK - looked
pretty sore on the finnish line there - you
had Foxy a bit worried ..

Well After that shocker of a result for Foxy
with the Mechanical in her Quals. she is in heavy
training for Canberra now as all the world Selections
will be based on that one I believe - according to Tony
Scott anyway ..

so no Tassie for us as she's got a road crit. to attend ( fantastic training )
but we will be at all the others on the calendar ..

Great to put a face with a name this weekend ..

We will Catch up for a beer in thredbo buddy .

Good luck in Tassie roxy12 ...

Roxy what happened to you in Lithgow? Did you have a big stack?

And what happend to Foxy and mechanicals.?

[roxy12]

yeh nasty stack, internal bleeding you knwo the story, ended up being worse then the lithgow hospital said was back in hospital tuesday night.

well with foxy im not so sure, dad said that there seemd to be an issue with her gears but he couldnt tell entrily from a distance, not cool either way.

Hey roxy,

Sorry to hear about your injuries :eek: Hope you get well soon and are ready to race the Tassies. I saw some pics of you from the Lithgow race... Yeowww! Looking good mate, keep it up ;) And ignore those wanker boys with their small comments and matching appendages, LOL Just ignore them :rolleyes:

[roxy12]

think i missed the pics, smll comments? what small comments elaborate for me, i generaly do ignore guys who try todegrade girls it is usualy because there week, small appendeged boys who are usualy pretty useless themselves, or insecure.

dosnt bother me if the only way they can make thmseleves feel good is by bagging girls out:p makes it obvious they still run home to there mummys. :D

[MTB-ChiK]

Roxy! ... uh, I was on a tangent from another thread about the whole riding with boys thing and them paying you out... Now reading it back from this post I realised it prolly made no sense to you at all! Yeah, just keep riding and ignore the smart asses out there :D

Here's one pic I found, there were some others but I can't find them now!

hey they look awesome, love your goggles

[roxy12]

hey they look awesome, love your goggles

its all the pink!

[mtbmamma]

I have yet to hear any guys bagging us girls out. In fact a lot of the guys I know are looking for girls who can ride for girlfriends, that way their love of riding is understood.

Most of the guys I know are so supportive of me when I do DH but then maybe its my age. :rolleyes:

hahaha i dont think its your age, haha when i first started dhilin my bf was a non mtber or exerciser forr that matter, the mment we broke up i was pounced on by a rider hahaha, I dont get shit as much anymore, as i give it back twice as hard to those who do:D but there still is the occasional jerk, but now i have many male friend to beat em up!:) hehehe


but on another matter i think you owe me a sit down drink for hideing in the car at lithgow!

[mtb_michelle]

Would be good to see some of you girls down here for some awesome riding.

Michelle

[MTB-ChiK]

Nice to meet you mtb_michelle , and welcome to the Farkin' Girls (LOL)

Well, I don't know about the awesome riding part ....but I would love to visit Tassie one day! I can't make the Nationals either, things are just way too busy at work. Sucks being self employed sometimes!

[mtbmamma]

It was bloody freezing, had had a sleepless night and the car was nice and warm and I had some good company. Was out all the next day but in the timing tent watching everyone pass through but as numbers not people. Sorry about that.

And it is my age, I am sure that they are amazed that someone so "old" keeps riding but although I can't out ride them, not enough experience, I could on a motorbike!!! And I could outlast them all night trust me, drinking and dancing I mean. OLD!!!! HA!

So I will search you out in Hobart and definitely buy you a couple of drinks, one is never enough! :D

[roxy12]

soudns the go, i think its great that your rideing!

I have heard about your reputation with drinking and paties though;)

[Lizardskin]

MTB Michelle will you be racing at the Nats in TAS?

I guess you will have a home track advantage! :) :)

I havent seen any photos of the track but I have heard all good thing about it.

[dilemma]

I just registered on Friday, so I guess I'll be there!!
I'm sure it'll be a fun weekend...
It'll be good to hopefully put some faces to names hey!

Well done to Julia getting 3rd in elites too, yeah!

[roxy12]

yehr tassie was great fun, jane unfortunalty fractured her wrist even before doing a full run!

Julie had an awesome run to pull up in third!

I had an unfortunate weekend of 3 flats includeing a flat front tyre on my qualifer which caused me to stack, so i couldnt finish the track on it, sucked because i was nailing the track in pracy! had an awesome time either way track was great expereince, julia can back me up on that one!

was great weekend either way!

[muzza167]

I'm glad that you girls that made it down had a great time! All of the females that i saw there were really throwing it down and making some of the guys look really bad :p. I see some really good times there too... well done. Pretty much everyone i have talked too had a good weekend. Sorry to hear about the flats and the bad qualifying run roxy, its just a bit of bad luck eh.

All the best,

Stewart.

Hey Rox!

Yeah I was wondering why your name wasn't in the top 3?! Thought something might have gone pear shaped... damn tyres! How are your injuries going? Hope no biggies :confused:

I really want to go to a National round one of these days, the Tas track looked very nice... except for the nasty bits, LOL

I sliced a couple of fingers open today at work so, again, I won't be riding for a little while - DOH!

All the best,

Jo

[MTB-ChiK]

My injuries are fine, cant say im not dissapointed as im sure i would have done very well, but thats raceing!

you should come over for mt beauty, stay with us lol.

[Lizardskin]

yeah i was spewing....oh well thats racing hey.

I didnt even get a full run in!!!!!:(

Make sure you triple check that all your screws are done up tight!!!! my bars were loose so when i went over a drop my bars rotated upside down and i went over the bars . doh.

looks like ive done my scafoid and ulner and some ligament/soft tissue damage. :(

I was so excited about riding that track too. oh well next time!

yeah well done to all the girls ripping up the track!!

[MTB-ChiK]

Hey Jayne, hope you have a speedy recovery! I see you can still type, YAY!
I second that about checking your nuts & bolts... I'm glad that didn't happen at Gambier when I found my handlebars were crooked at the start gate of qualifying, LOL... hmmmm, upside down bars, now thats not good!!

Hey Rox, when is the Mt Beauty race?

[yakinAway]

man sux to hear about your stack Jayne hope it not too bad an injury n u heal up soon

track looked sick.....

I stacked today too oh n sunday (not on DH runs) first one was all my bad (always check the depth of a puddle) n the second was a wind gust whilst doing some jumping over the bars both times...

but then got out and rode the nats track (DH) this arvo no stacks but still not clearing the rock garden any tips anyone.....


YAK

[MTB-ChiK]

still not clearing the rock garden any tips anyone.....YAK


Go faster :D

[roxy12]

Hey Rox, when is the Mt Beauty race?

rmmm february, me thinks il have to double check but im sure im right?

[yakinAway]

lol yeah figured that

faster it is then ;) got to hav speed to get through

[MTB-ChiK]

lol yeah figured that

faster it is then ;) got to hav speed to get through

and pick your line well in front of you... well, that sometimes works for me :D Most of the time my bike just goes wherever, LOL

[yakinAway]

the rock garden here is really tight and long I'll take some pics and post them at some stage, It's just getting enough speed n confidence to rip it down ay


cheers for the advice... Ive picked a line and will give it a go.... but it's raining cats n dogs today

[Lizardskin]

yeah Id just say stay off the brakes and hold your line. Even if your bike bucks around a bit, just keep going with the flow!

Probabaly not best to try it when its heaps wet though........

[leeN]
