Burly Girls at the World Cup
Written by Jaymie Mart
Date: 9/10th September
Venue: Schladming, Austria
Weather Conditions: 27°C. Sunny and dry.
Course length: 1.3 miles
Average Speed of fastest female rider: 27KM/HR
The course itself starts at the Planai Mittlestation
and runs down to the Planai Zeildstation. It was built and altered
under the watchful eye of the dashing Robert Warner. As a result,
it is one of the more appealing courses to many of the riders on the
circuit due to its sheer speed and fun factor rating of 10/10. There
are many bermed corners, tight terns and one or two rooty sections
on course. To race on, it is physically demanding, the majority of
the actual terrain consists primarily of bedded in hard ground with
a coating of dust, which creates a fast and somewhat unpredictable
surface. There are many places you could potentially loose speed,
lots of braking bumps and two wheel slide out opportunities, however,
not many places to gain an advantage, consequently, everyone was chasing
perfection.

Girls Clothing Adds Jaymie Mart to the Team
Tue June 13, 2006 (article on www.pinkbike.com)
Burly Girls Clothing has recently added downhill biker Jaymie Mart
from the UK to their team. The Burly Girls are excited to have her
as a team rider.
Jaymie is stoked on the clothing and joining a team owned and operated
by girl riders. “In the depths of the Scottish winter just past,
a friend pointed me in the direction of Burly Girls Clothing. I am
on the road loads when I am racing and being away from home it is
important that I have clothes that I am not only comfortable in, but
look stylish, and don't fall apart.
