Hey Australia - show us yer chicks!

Australia had the first round of their national DH series last weekend at Eagle Park. The course for Eagle Park - Australian National DH and 4x Champs 2009 was short and pedally, with typical Ozzie dust, dust and more dust… We hoped to be able to post you some links to the top Ozzie women riders doing their thing, but FAIL! The vids are up on Freecaster, and there’s not a female rider in sight.

What’s up with that? There’s a few gratuitous shots of chicks in skimpy clothes, and plenty of dull dudes droning on about the track, but not a single frame of any of the women’s field doing what they do best. Normally Freecaster is great at providing videos of women riding – check out their Worlds coverage for the top 3 women’s runs from every round. If you have any pics or vids that actually show the women who participated in the Eagle Park race, let us know, so we’re not just being represented like this:
