Women of Mountain Biking Survey
Jul 20th
Sacred Rides Mountain Bike Adventures has launched a Women of Mountain Biking Survey to gain a deeper understanding of why women mountain bike, and to specifically understand:
-Are more women mountain biking, and why are some women still reluctant to mountain bike?
-What are the unique needs of women riders, and should the mountain biking community/industry be doing more to facilitate and encourage women to ride?
The results of the survey will be shared publicly to help guide the growth of the sport and industry. The more women that participate, the stronger the potential of the survey. All women mountain bikers are invited and to participate, and share the link to this important survey.
The survey will be open until Friday, August 20, 2010, and the results will be made public and available to media on Friday, August 27, 2010

Hey i..m Rebecca, 16 years old but most people call me becci. I..m from germany. I love to ride BMX with some friends and riding new spots. I think riding BMX is such a good thing cause you meet new people. The feeling if you learn something new or if you just ride is so good cause I just think about riding it makes me free from my thought. That..s why I love to ride and anyway it..s something special cause how we can see there are not many girls pedaling little bikes 
Just one thing I love manualing! Girls ride BMX-Bikes!

PIPELINE BIKE PARK RACE REPORT- PUMP RACE #11
Mar 27th
SOURCE: PIPELINE BIKE PARK
Race Report: Pump Race #11 – Retribution II
Bad News Muys lays it down, as Garren continues her glorious championship reign.
The weather was angry that day, my friends, like an old man trying to order soup at a deli. But it didn’t keep a dozen hard core pump racers from coming down to Pipeline to battle on the infamous pump track. The day was marked with the sounds of tires roosting turns, cheering from the surrounding spectators, and kids fighting with Ray Ray Faubert over who found the most easter eggs. Thats right. There was an easter egg hunt after….
In the Women’s Class, Judy Garren put on her race face against Dayna Picco who was riding with the force of a big red firetruck, and Larissa “Weeeee!” Hoath. Judy rode strong on her brand new Brodie, and held her spot at the top of the pump race podium.
Judy and Dayna Rocking the Women’s Main:
Everett Hoath took the winter off of the bike, holding off from racing the Pipeline Indoor 4x, obviously to get ready solely for Sunday’s Pump Race #11. He was killing it and looked like he could take the main. But he still had to get past Adam “Dutch Chocolate” Muys who had stepped up his training by including some new methods like driving around town with a live mountain lion in the car to sprinting up and down the beach in short shorts and knee highs with his ex-rival turned coach, Apollo Creed.
It was a great time, and it’s a ton of fun. We’ll have another one in April! Hope to see you all there!
