As I was searching the internet today with cool things to share with all you Betty's I found this online petition. Please lets do our part to help women become an integrated part of action sports!
GRO and Yeah Zine have teamed up to give a voice to the girls of BMX! It is time for women to have a division in BMX Park at Summer X Games 2011.
X Games began in 1995. In 2003 Women’s Skateboard Street and Vert were added.
In 2008 at X Games 14, Women’s Moto X Racing was added to the event. At which time Rick Alessandri, managing director of X Games Franchise, said,
“We are committed to expanding the female participation at this world-class event, and the women’s motocross circuit demonstrates unbelievable talent deserving recognition on the X Games stage.”
The women’s BMX riders have unbelievable talent.

With all the talent, riders, media, companies and individuals already gathered, now it's
"Unfortunately at the ESPN tv network level it’s all about the ratings. It has little to do what is best for bmx or the progression of our sport. "
So the next step is to start showing ESPN and X Games that there are many individuals that would love to tune in to watch girls ride BMX at X Games. You would not only get a great show, but also be supporting the sports and all those who ride.
All it takes is your signature.
