Clearly the only one wasting their time is me..Far more important issues to discuss such as crushing cans and 100mph phazers.
I made the bold statement about the body bag to make the point very bluntly that if you are promoting new and Inexperienced riders you better make safety a crucial part of this event, in the unfortunate event that something does happen these ladies rides will lose credibility quicker than Ozone Dave.
Old subject I suggest it be dropped!! I'm guessing they aren't gonna waste their time with you.
just sayin
Do you really think this is an "old" subject? In my opinion, this discussion is in its infancy and should be made a sticky until it runs it's course.
Please do not paint this discussion with the same chit-covered wide brush as all the joey garbage.
-we have a great article on the Betties written by Susie Rainsberry...I'll find it and post it up.
This is a discussion that needs to happen...

I think that I need to take responsibility for the misconception about this thread being related to any other . I was drawing attention to how closely people are paying attention to what betties do and say. The actuall thread in question had really no bearing on anything and I wasn't passing judgement on JC as I typically have both feet in my mouth numerous times on anygiven day
absolutely if it referring to a previous thread which in my opinion has been dealt with!! I felt the initial post was somewhat inflamatory in nature.
my appologies if I missunderstood your intentions ..... carry on.
Can someone pm me the link to the post being referred to? Have no idea where/what it is....
OK, I'm fairly new on here, so I missed the Sponsorgate thing entirely.
I just wanted to add that anyone that puts themselves in front of a camera is going to subject themselves to judgement, male or female. That was probably the hardest thing for me with my involvement in Sledbetties, and I know a lot of the other girls feel the same.
I know that women are a lot more cautious than men... There was more than one time during filming that we sat at the bottom of a climb planning or escape routes and deciding who was taking which line, and probably drove the filmers nuts. But that doesn't mean that we won't get into trouble either.
We girls don't just look out for each other... We look out for everyone on the mountain. We share our food, give our extra warm gloves to whoever needs them, and would give the jackets off of our backs. I think most of us would rather be known as good people than good riders.
Through events like that we have been quietly doing what we do. Brandy, has been donating LARGE amounts of money generated soley by the women who attend the annual ride in Oregon to SAWS every year!!
