Thought I'd share this sad story of a female rider...Damzl Clothing.

[iNfErNaL]

For those who aren't familiar with Damzl,it's a clothing line here in SoCal mainly intended for female dirt bike riders.Holly was the originator of this line,here's her story

That sucks ... Next time warn me not to read this stuff when I'm at work

[BLACKDOG]

Thanks for sharing IJ,  that is an incredible story, and I love how her sister and father instead of giving up are pushing ahead in her memory. 

[kneedownnate]

That's a tear jerker man, but I like how her dad spun a positive light on the fact that she died where she loved, doing what she loved.  It's also quite a story to be written only a week after your child passed, and definately brought a lump to my throat.

I could only hope for the same if it were to happen to me!

[BUDDERS]

I agree with Nate  - but now I will be thinking of this sad story next time I go to Glamis.....  I guess I should have everyone pray for my safety.  Only God can keep me safe with all of those crazy people out there.   

[iNfErNaL]

You gotta be EXTRA carefull out at Glamis.I missed T-Day this year,but my ususal buddies went and said that a guy got killed the same way(hit by a rail)about 100ft. from their camp.

[kneedownnate]

You absolutely couldn't pay me to ride at glamis on a busy weekend....

Seriously, that place is just too busy on any warmer holiday to even consider riding.

[iNfErNaL]

Yup,it gets pretty busy out there.Here's a couple pictures from Halloween last year.A cop told me as I was pulling into Brawley that there had allready been 2 deaths reported that weekend and it was on Saturday morning.

Wow. I have read about Glamis, but never really knew anything else. The pictures are insane. I would go out there camp, party, and troll for chicks. But never get on a bike arould all the people.

That is insane.

[blackwolf00]

i agree this is crazy and how in the bloody hell can anyone get in that yellow pick up its soooooooooooo hopped up off the ground you have to be 8 feet tall to climb into the cab....       okay i can understand that you wanna go off roading but geez people thats going to far with the lift kits it looks like it has a 40 or 50 in lift on it

That's actually a show truck.I know the guy that owns it,he has some tractor tires with 24" rims for it.Glamis is about the only off-roading it does and it mainly just cruises the dunes.

I was gonna say, I'm betting the sand is the roughest terrain it sees.    Don't think it'd fit on too many trails, let alone do well in the off-camber

[motorider228]

i have never ridden glamis and i dont intend too unless its a deserted day because i dont want some drunk ass hole in a buggy landing on me.

  dude,  thats how chic  got killed,     

have some  respect  for the dead.    I bet  if you are out there  alone  and needed help, you could feel her presence

[motorider228]

I know that's how she was killed, I had a friend killed the same way in dumont and the guy was drunk as piss. I in no way was trying to be disrepectful.  I'm sorry if it came off that way. As a fellow motocross rider I hate to hear of stories like this.  I wish people would be more careful when operation some large peice of machinery.  Think if that was some little kid riding around....

[iNfErNaL]

It's pretty crazy out there.Alot of times it may not even have to be alcohol related,it's just plain dangerous,your going up a dune full throttle and wearing a helmet and on the other side,here comes some cat in a rail full throttlee as well(making it almost impossible for either one to hear the other)and boom!!!.That's why it's also a requirement for vehicles to have Whip antenas on them.

Another picture of the yellow show truck.

[kneedownnate]

Psssshhh, needs atleast another 15" of lift

[iNfErNaL]

Psssshhh, needs atleast another 15" of lift

At least.

[jimbo74]

with that much lift, it needs some tires off a real mosnter truck..... the big old firestones

I don't think thats disrespectful at all.  I think she'd agree with the sentiment.  If it convinces one person that drinking and playing around is a bad idea, then thers at least some meaing to her death.   If no one learned, she truly would have died in vain

[motorider228]

I do understand infernal that alcohol doesn't have to be involved as i have ridden in a 500 RWHP dune buggy so i know how loud they are but i also know people like to get faced at the dunes and play around.

[iNfErNaL]

Oh yeah,most deff. No doubt about that...The cops have been pretty strict out there lately though.I think they're tired of peole dying out there EVERY holiday.
