"The demand is even greater than we anticipated. It is great that Honda and the Women's Motocross League are partnering with us and supporting the event again for another year." " The Girls Learn to Ride Program is one of my favorite events to be involved with," said Dominica (Miki) Keller, President of Women's Motocross League, "Everyone leaves smiling with a new love for motocross and off-road riding". Girls Learn To Ride, now in its third year, is a series of one-day clinics during which girls of all ages are given the chance to learn sports typically dominated by boys and men; such as skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, wakeboarding, and motocross in a relaxing, safe, and fun environment. Girls Learn To Ride hopes to encourage and empower girls of all ages to learn, love and participate in these sports right along side the boys. In 2002, Girls Learn To Ride will launch a series of nation-wide clinics with over 25 events. The Women's Motocross League (WML)
