  WOMEN'S MOTOCROSS WELCOMED AT X GAMES

  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.  Click here for more motocross news.

The Women's Motocross and Supercross Foundation (WMXF) is a non-profit organization founded in 2003 to enhance the motocross/supercross racing community.  WMXF’s mission is four-fold. 

• First, to support to any racer or crew member who suffers injury as a result of participation in or preparation for a professional motocross/supercross event. 

• Second, the foundation provides support to those in the motocross/supercross community who suffer serious misfortune not directly related to competition. 

• Third, WMXF provides financial support to benevolent organizations that support the sport of motocross/supercross. 

• Finally, the foundation serves as a group of women who contribute to the well-being of families in the professional motocross/supercross community.  WMXF will promote fellowship among the teams and represent supercross, the outdoor nationals and the entire sport in a beneficial way.
