Girls can ride bikes???
Nina Buitrago Smith grinds the big ledge at TRP.
So the WOF (Women of Freestyle) jam went down this past weekend at TRP and the turn out was great. Girls (and guys) traveled from Tx, Pa, Ma, In, Ny, Co, Oh, and even Mi to hang out and ride with the ladies.
I heard a few guys before the jam make comments about girls not really being any good at riding and they could not have been more wrong. All the WOF ladies are incredible rides as well as a lot of fun. If you ever get a chance to ride / hang out with any of them take advantage of it because they will probably teach you a thing or two. Below are some of the photos I shot. Click them to see them larger. Enjoy!

Look at that smile. Rose Huston seemed to have a lot of fun on her bike.
.
Danger Dave may not be a girl but I once seen his girlfriend almost beat him in arm wrestling.
.
Danger Dave again. Taking photos of this kid is tuff. he can do 14 tricks in one jump. my guess is he did a tailwhip to turndown out of this nothing.
.
Nina Buitrago can do more tricks over a box than most pro jumpers...I'm not kidding.
.
no hander. Nina doesn't mess around.
.
Kim is the main woman behind WOF. Check out her website and be amazed.
.
Sam Slappi came all the way from the Chicago area to do MX whips and to try to pick up chicks.
.
Afro Pat once went on a WOF tour. He was the only guy with like 8 pro girl riders. I bet he was humbled.
.
Danger Debbie (lady friend of Danger Dave) may not be able to do nothings like her boyfriend but I bet if she wanted to she could kick his ASS! Here she does her best DJ Danger Debbie.
.
Rose can do more than just jump. and yes....she did do the roll back.
.
Greg Dickson of BMX Board fame claims he had the biggest boobs at the jam and I don't think he was ripping on the ladies.
.
Hanan Saab is the better half of the BUC family...kidding....her and her boyfriend (we call him BUC because he looks just like Gary Busse) are some of the nicest people in BMX.
.
Jessica Ausec did her first pegstall on a subrail at the jam. I bet the green Animal pedals gave her the power.
.
Sorry I missed your name so will just call you "boxjumpingfrontpegwheelgrabber"
.
Jarrett Ward, half owner of "The Take" came out to the jam to hang out and ride a bit. Jarrett and Jeff of "The Take" will be having a cool contest soon. Read about it at www.thetakeonlife.com
.
Adrianne (B.O.F) Franscini uses her pegs for more than just riding her friends around.
.
White girls can jump! Later in the day Nina went over the bars doing a feeble to smith down a good size ledge and dislocated her shoulder. I had to pop it back in place. I think it hurt me more than it hurt her. Nina is no joke.
.
The girls stopped by Albe's to have their photo shot with Turbo. I'm not sure how he does it but girls just want to be around him.
.
I was excited to see Stacy Mulligan ride but she got hurt kind quick so the only photo I have of her was when they came to Albe's. I did find an old photo John from Albe's shot of Stacy getting loaded a few months back in England. Click here to check it out.
.
Nina had to come to Albe's and try on the jewelry.
