I've been riding for many years now and I've seen the evolution of women in the sport that is BMX Freestyle. I wanted to make this video to show how things are changing for women in this sport, and to show girls that their efforts have been paying off, because they are changing the world.
Wednesday nights at the Source Park have always been girl's night, but never quite like this... This time around over 20 women from all around the UK—as well a few visiting pros from the USA—took over the park for the Girls Only Jam. With no classes or age groups, everyone competed together—from 12 year old Sasha Pardoe to veteran pro Nina Buitrago.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
