WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MEMORY/<br />
PROUDEST MOMENT OF RIDING?<br />
Amber: This year by far, by being successful<br />
in being a Bronze finisher at Red Bull<br />
Romaniacs in Romania. This was a true test<br />
of my physical and mental strength. The<br />
ultimate test of my skill set when riding dirt<br />
bikes. It was such an amazing experience.<br />
Ina: I guess I would say being selected to<br />
ride on the Australian women’s trials team<br />
for the first time in 2012. A lot of the time<br />
it is just those moments in riding, when<br />
you finally master a new skill or have a<br />
‘clean’ ride through a tough trials section.<br />
That is what really give you those feelings<br />
of accomplishment and make you want to<br />
keep riding.<br />
Jenna: I’ve got a few actually. My first<br />
proud moment was finishing fifth at the<br />
Australian MX Nationals a few years back.<br />
Next would be when I finished fifth at the<br />
Australian Trials Titles this year, after only<br />
riding trials for about 10 months. Finishing<br />
Wildwood is definitely something I am<br />
extremely proud of.<br />
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE<br />
FEMALES GO IN THIS SPORT?<br />
Ina: I think females are already stepping<br />
up and showing that they have a spot in<br />
motorsports. Our Aussie enduro women’s<br />
team are dominating on the world scene<br />
and showing everyone what they are<br />
capable of. I just hope that girls continue<br />
riding and our numbers continue to grow.<br />
Jenna: I would hope that one day women<br />
weren’t such a small percentage of the<br />
motorcycling community. We are just as<br />
capable as the boys are, more girls just<br />
have to have faith in their abilities and give<br />
things a crack.<br />
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR<br />
ANYONE WANTING TO TAKE IT UP?<br />
Sue: Don’t give up and be patient and<br />
laugh at your mistakes.<br />
