I am probably the oldest fan of Girl Power.  I am 58 years old.  The first British racer I ever followed was a girl.  Lisa Barsby.  I think it was in 1994.  I was just getting back on my feet from a broken back that happened when a runaway ski hit me while standing on the beach at a National Tour Stop.  Lisa and I had been corresponding and I asked if she would like to stay at my home here in Lake Havasu when she competed for the World Finals.  The following year I was fortunate enough to have a very young 11 year old by the name of Alex Fielder sit with me and show me who the top British and European riders were.  The following year I had the good fortune to have a young 10 year old named James Goodchild help me further with the British riders.  They all educated me and soon I became a huge fan of England.  I watched Jordan Fielder on paper only from the time he was 10.  He became my hero and I love him dearly to this day. At every race in the United States and at Body Beach I fly the Union Jack in honour of all British Racers.

   

The Girl Power phenomenon is the most fantastic movement I have ever seen.  After being such a huge fan of Lisa Barsby, Lindsey Billingham, Vicky Beale and Ria Picard it is so rewarding to watch young women organize and come together in support of each other and.....Bushey.  Watching all of you at the World Finals is exciting.  You just get wrapped up and swept away in all the excitement. 

I hope you will consider me an honorary member of such a prestigious group. 

Girl Power!!! Rock On!

This weekend was a great weekend – it was a Girl Power Weekend at Nitrojet in Oxford.  Following the success of last years event Dawn Jolleys organised “Girls that Ride 2” and that together with the Hydrospace Hospitality meant we had a fun time.  I hope the article will be covered in Jet Skier Magazine so watch out for a review of all the weekends fun.  I would like to say thank you to Dawn, Guy & Faith, all the Hydrospace Team and everyone who made the weekend such fun. I look forward to Girls that ride 3 Dawn.

Even found a Girl Power sticker on Luke Hill's Ski!! I wonder where that came from?

Must have been the sticker that helped win this trophy for Ant....should have won a GPS navigation system!

I think it's probably best you don't ask about this one!!!!!
