00:00:04.546 --> 00:00:06.423
Everything is

2
00:00:06.423 --> 00:00:09.718
right up here.

3
00:00:10.051 --> 00:00:14.180
When I was a young woman,
you had to make a choice at a certain age.

4
00:00:16.099 --> 00:00:18.727
Every girl did.

5
00:00:18.810 --> 00:00:20.812
Do I find a nice man?

6
00:00:20.812 --> 00:00:22.897
Settle down, have a family,

7
00:00:23.773 --> 00:00:25.942
or go pro on the motocross circuit?

8
00:00:26.693 --> 00:00:27.986
That was it.

9
00:00:27.986 --> 00:00:29.529
One or the other.

10
00:00:29.529 --> 00:00:32.115
You couldn't have both.

11
00:00:32.282 --> 00:00:34.784
Like most women, I chose family

12
00:00:37.537 --> 00:00:41.708
Us girls growing up,

13
00:00:41.916 --> 00:00:44.335
we'd wear these.

14
00:00:44.419 --> 00:00:48.339
We'd even take Kodak and Campbell's
soup logos on our clothes.

15
00:00:48.673 --> 00:00:51.885
Like we were sponsored.

16
00:00:51.885 --> 00:00:54.554
But you couldn't ride and have a family.

17
00:00:54.554 --> 00:00:56.473
That was unheard of.

18
00:00:56.473 --> 00:01:00.435
I remember my mother
telling me you don't want to end up

19
00:01:00.435 --> 00:01:04.314
childless and alone like Aunt
Lizzy out on the Nitro Circus tour.

20
00:01:04.355 --> 00:01:06.733
Do you?

21
00:01:10.153 --> 00:01:11.529
I still think about what

22
00:01:11.529 --> 00:01:14.532
life would have been like
if I had picked the circuit.

23
00:01:15.408 --> 00:01:20.413
Suiting up, feeling that cold steel pony
come to life underneath me every day.

24
00:01:21.790 --> 00:01:24.501
But then I wouldn't have my wonderful
Allan,

25
00:01:24.876 --> 00:01:28.046
my three kids, their kids, my whole life.

26
00:01:29.005 --> 00:01:32.300
But I shouldn't have had to choose.

27
00:01:32.300 --> 00:01:35.845
Do I regret listening to everyone's advice
and not getting a tight one?

28
00:01:35.845 --> 00:01:38.431
25 CC two stroke?

29
00:01:38.431 --> 00:01:41.017
Yeah, sometimes.

30
00:01:41.017 --> 00:01:43.895
Part of me
wishes that I at least given it a try,

31
00:01:44.229 --> 00:01:48.066
Even if I had looped out every jump
and ended up eating dirt.

32
00:01:48.733 --> 00:01:51.361
Or maybe I would have smoked
every one on the course.

33
00:01:51.736 --> 00:01:54.405
I'll never know.

34
00:01:54.781 --> 00:01:57.909
What does give me hope, though,

35
00:01:57.909 --> 00:02:00.745
is knowing that my granddaughter Lauren,

36
00:02:01.371 --> 00:02:06.459
can be both a wife
and a mom and a stone cold freak.

37
00:02:06.459 --> 00:02:11.798
on the motto. I'll never forget
when I saw her win the holeshot

38
00:02:11.798 --> 00:02:15.385
and then block past
some squid at the Tacoma Dome last year.

39
00:02:16.302 --> 00:02:18.346
It was one of the proudest days
of my life.

40
00:02:18.513 --> 00:02:19.639
She has no idea

41
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.434
there was a time when women had to choose
between the bike and the bassinet.

42
00:02:27.230 --> 00:02:28.481
I think part of

43
00:02:28.481 --> 00:02:31.484
me is living vicariously
through my granddaughter,

44
00:02:32.318 --> 00:02:36.573
feeling every kick of the wheels,
through the ruts, every spray of dirt

45
00:02:36.573 --> 00:02:42.412
from the tires, the rush of air, from
absolutely crushing the super man's seat.

46
00:02:42.412 --> 00:02:43.538
Grand.

47
00:02:44.539 --> 00:02:47.125
You know, when I close my eyes,

48
00:02:47.834 --> 00:02:50.420
I can still hear that sweet purr

49
00:02:51.671 --> 00:02:54.924
Vroom, vroom

50
00:02:54.924 --> 00:02:58.469
Vroom vroom

51
00:02:59.345 --> 00:03:08.730
It’s so nice she’ll be able to have it all.

52
00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:19.324
Motorbike noises
