x-games: women's motocross


no offense to you ladies but my entire bar was basically on pause for 30 minutes or so while everyone was either laughing hystericloly or cringing with vicarious embarrassment.

i don't think any of them ever ventured above half throttle, i didn't once see a rear wheel leave the ground, and the entire coverage was essentially a desperate attempt to follow someone that wasn't presently diving off her bike or getting it stuck somehow.

Someone, quick... name a women sport that is more exciting than the men version.

Cheerleading and WWE are not sports.

8/1/2011 6:45:09 AM

^ volleyball

....and curling

This?

8/1/2011 9:30:45 AM

8/1/2011 9:34:54 AM

that was painful to watch...

8/1/2011 9:39:38 AM

holy shit

wow

and that was the finals

just imagine what the prelims were like

8/1/2011 9:43:36 AM

I just watched that....and it was quite funny.

8/1/2011 9:45:54 AM

when i was at ruckus i would put one of the tvs on wnba in the afternoons just to see what would happen ... no matter which tv i put it on that section would almost always be clearer than the rest

8/1/2011 9:47:41 AM

The first log was pretty lulzy.

8/1/2011 9:48:51 AM

^^That's just mean.

LMFAO

8/1/2011 9:51:42 AM

Lots of hymen-bursting action on that course.

"and oooooh problem" may be my new favorite quote. @2:30

8/1/2011 10:00:41 AM

yea, it was hilarious when they just started going around some of the harder obstacles

8/1/2011 10:19:11 AM

Took about 2 and a half minutes longer than the men's

8/1/2011 10:26:49 AM

hahahahaha that was horrible

they had problems with the big logs

8/1/2011 10:28:06 AM

4:24 def best part

8/1/2011 10:32:27 AM

women's sports

lol

4:28 on that video had me rolling

8/1/2011 10:36:53 AM

I definitely feel bad for them when they get hurt like at the beginning and 4:28...but aside from that, megalol

8/1/2011 10:38:37 AM

"Gold Medal Action" is not an apt description of this event

8/1/2011 10:52:19 AM

That's pretty bad. I do like how the bikes are too big for the girls to pick up and guys have to do it.

8/1/2011 11:25:32 AM

Thanks for the vid skack

8/1/2011 11:35:16 AM

That double at 7:25 was pretty tight.

8/1/2011 1:37:09 PM

oh my god
im loling and not even 40 seconds into it haha

8/1/2011 1:50:03 PM

"We think she's down a lap"

Doesn't that seem like something they might want to keep track of?

8/1/2011 3:35:58 PM

I didn't intend this thread to come off as mean-spirited, each of those girls is tough as shit and muuuch better than I'd be on that course. But the comedy was just too much to deny having just seen the men's final

just for comparison --


Men's Enduro X 2011 Final





Women's Enduro X 2011 Final

8/1/2011 4:23:34 PM

hahahaha truly a comedy of errors

8/1/2011 4:27:41 PM

I don't even have to watch those two vids to see the funny

the still frames are hilarious...guys: riding the bike....girls: clusterfuck with someone picking up a bike off the ground

Womens Gymnastics hands down.

But besides the Olympics, no one ever watches that for fun

8/1/2011 4:33:46 PM

Yep. And Women's Figureskating > Men's Figureskating

8/1/2011 4:34:36 PM

Women's Jello Wrestling > Men's Jello Wrestling

8/1/2011 8:27:09 PM

^^^I told my sister that when I was a kid and was accused of being a lesbian.

8/2/2011 12:01:28 AM

That women's race is painful to watch, yet I can't stop watching it.

[Edited on August 2, 2011 at 12:13 AM. Reason : LOL at 4:24]

8/2/2011 12:11:23 AM

That was great. I too, lolled the hardest at 4:24

I still think we missed a ton of good wipe outs because they couldn't possibly catch them all with the number of cameras they had.

[Edited on August 2, 2011 at 12:20 AM. Reason : .]

8/2/2011 12:19:25 AM

hilarious

8/2/2011 12:37:39 AM

I'm pretty sure the best part is at 0:43 when that girl gets off her bike, walks it backwards, and the course worker points at the log like "Bitch you better ride over that log!"

I feel like such a dickhead misogynist for saying that.

[Edited on August 2, 2011 at 12:54 AM. Reason : l]

8/2/2011 12:46:43 AM

The faceplant out of the gate was the defining moment of that clip.

8/2/2011 12:47:13 AM

It definitely set the tone for what the rest of the race would look like.

8/2/2011 12:48:54 AM

I'm going to Craigslist to look for a DRZ400SM now.

8/2/2011 12:55:41 AM

1:23 in the men's vid. wtf is this dude talkin about "2-wheel drive motorcycle"

[Edited on August 2, 2011 at 1:09 AM. Reason : ^i dont think you'd want a supermoto for that]

[Edited on August 2, 2011 at 1:12 AM. Reason : damn that shit does exist http://www.christini.com/awd-technology.php]

I have no desire to do what they're doing, but I still want a supermoto bike.

8/2/2011 10:11:50 AM

What makes this even funnier is to imagine the amount of time, effort, practice, etc...that they put into sucking. They probably have injuries and stuff...and, again, still suck.

But at least they tried.

8/2/2011 10:43:20 AM

The women went over those logs so slowly the bike's mons pubis just got scraped to shit. I, too, would have a hard time pushing a bike over logs. Thank god for motors. (they still have more balls than me, I'm just busting them)

"two wheel drive motorcycle"

huh, no shit, didnt know about that

8/2/2011 11:09:06 AM

This shit had me crying from the opening 30 seconds on through. The girl falling off the ramp ... it doesn't get much better than that. Great stuff.

8/2/2011 12:31:30 PM

Deadspin finally did a post about this.

8/2/2011 12:33:43 PM

set em up
