Overall , my trials background has helped a lot with the technical parts , but I ’ ve also h ad to figure out th e best techniques and strategies for a successful race , and I always learn something new at each event . I still really need to work on turning that throttle ! Trials never taught me that .
I was very impressed with the EXC series and their respect for the Women ’ s Pro class , especially during th eir first year ! Th ere will always be a struggle with the women ’ s payout compared to the men ’ s , ( it ’ s usually about ½ the size of the men ’ s or smaller , or nothing at all ) but personally , I ’ m quite grateful for what they are doing for us . As someone with a full-time job who pays their way to every event , I am thankful for any help . And like I mentioned before , it ’ s impressive with a new series that there even is a Women ’ s Pro class with a purse , and one that has the women start ahead of every class except for A and Pro . We appreciate that respect and know that good people are behind the series ! I ’ m excited to see how the AMA Extreme Enduro series will progress as it ’ s already grown quickly and has drawn a lot of attention ; it seemed like a successful first year .
