we actually did it and the decision is finally in our favor so the track stays open for the women who earned that space. i am still pacing around my garage trying to process how we pulled this off but seriously thank you for sticking with me while it felt …

Hey! Sarah Di from Dirty Grrl Dezigns here!! With the recent change in WMX I think it is more importantthan ever to show support for the women of motocross. This petition is an effort to get all of us who are trying to fight to save WMX together. It is important for us all to start working together without the fear of who sees what, who likes who. The current state of thesport ispushing women out of the sport. If we all work together. we WILL keep the sport moving forward. Let's not allow the powers that be dictate the futurefor women riders. So put all aside and work let's together to save what so many women have been fighting for for over 40 years. It is an insult to all those who got the sport this far if the women in the sport today are not willing to continue the fight and put the same effort into it as our founding members did! Let's get together and make a difference for today...and the future.

Even if you are not in the sport, don't have a daughter riding, please consider signing the petition as well if you feel like the women need some support so their sport can stay alive.

***Imortant note***the donation page at the end of the signature part is not for this cause or petition!!! Once you sign....go ahead and sign out! They are just asking for money to support ipetitions. I mean if you want to donate to an online petition the go ahead:) But just know it does NOT go to support WMX.

I have been stuck in my inbox all morning reading these stories about how hard it is to just get track time and honestly it makes me so angry but also really motivated. There are people behind the scenes looking into the rule changes that triggered this whole mess and I am trying to figure out how to get us all in the same room without the usual office politics getting in the way.

I am honestly floored by how many people are showing up for this right now (seriously my phone has not stopped buzzing and I keep accidentally spilling my coffee). It feels like things are actually shifting because people are finally putting all that petty drama aside to focus on the track and it really just blows my mind to see everyone uniting like this for the future of the sport.

I believe the females deserve the same respect the males get. The females train as hard. You never hear them complain that the track is all rutted up when they go out, you can believe if the males were out on the track when it was rutted they would be crying their eyes out. I have a huge respect for all of the females that put their gear on and ride. Bottom line... They deserve the same respect...

My daughter rides and she works twice as hard as the boys at the local track. Seeing this get pushed aside is just wrong.

Total garbage what they are doing to the women. They ride just as fast and deserve the same shot.
