In the Spring of 2003,
Discovery Channel came to Vancouver Canada, to film a 1 hour documentary
about me and my passion for motorcycles. I agreed to do this, thinking it would be a good way to positively and respectfully promote women and motorcycles in a main stream environment.
However, once I viewed the video I was quite disappointed, as several aspects of the film were edited in a one-sided manner that truly does not portray
my beliefs and the place I feel that women have in this male dominated sport. The fact is that I was not responsible for the way the show was created and
edited.
Several other positive motorcycle related events and projects were not included in the film, such as:
~my trip to Laguna Seca for the races to meet and chat with Eric Bostrom
~working extensively on my race bike
~my race results (I came in 6th out of 12 although I was gridded last, at the VERY back of a wet track)
~my group rides
~my website, etc.
Nevertheless, it was a excellent opportunity in which I was fortunate enough to particiapte.
