OP GIRL'S LEARN TO RIDE MOTOCROSS PROGRAM
This will be the 8th season
of the Girls Learn to Ride Motocross program. The series of events are held
in conjunction with Girls Learn to Ride (tm) at the Honda Rider Education
Centers. Honda donates their facility, provides XR 100's, and
certified instructors for the course. The course is about 3-4 hours
long and teaches the basics of dirt bike control and safety. If you have always wanted to try riding, this a great –
low pressure - opportunity to check it out. It isn't very often you can
just borrow a bike. Plus they give away goody bags and bring in WML Pro
riders for autographs (depending on the schedule). To sign up go to
www.girlslearntoride.com, while there check out the girls skateboarding,
snowboarding and wakeboarding events too.

misfortune not directly related to competition.
Third, WMXF provides
financial support to benevolent organizations that support the sport of
motocross/supercross.
