Weekend for me means an opportunity to actually ride race
With nobody around really and you also have coaches that can help you progress as well and also the day after
Even ride with the guys to get tips that what would necessarily get

Angie Moreno and I co-own and we cover everything from a lot and racing freestyle for women's emx
So we have a lot of articles and interviews and videos
So you kind of just have a place where women beat Mex go to you when they need a resource or morning?
Pretty much have a park to yourself in the side and you get to learn from and it
