Embarrassing yet ridiculously hilarious women’s Motocross highlight reel
The rider at :20 took bronze, so that pretty much sums up how the race went…
At SB Nation, they submit two theories as to how this could possibly have happened…
The first is that the executives at ESPN are sexist 4chan commenters in disguise, and paid a group of retired ladies to don motorcycle helmets and bumble through this course while watching on the internet and laughing until they died. The other is that every woman here was required to get blind drunk before starting…
Here’s the whole thing, which is even funnier and more facepalm-inducing, but 9 times as painful long… (They have people coming out on the course to help them get their bikes up. Is that even legal?)
Here’s basically how it was supposed to go…
And finally, you can go watch that highlight clip again with the proper soundtrack…

[Whispering] Pssst…The second video is the same as the first.
Oops… Thanks! Fixed.
(I guess if there’s one thing to be learned from this post it’s that we all make mistakes… :)
Nice save! :)
LMAO yall see in the first video at the very end when the girl wiped out in the water…bwhahaha
I laughed out loud so hard at this. Hysterical.
anyone else here the announcer go “this is the one that counts at the beginning of the men’s race lol
to a casual observer, it would appear that the bikes are too big for the women…
@Todd: you are probably correct, but I don’t think a smaller bike would go over those obstacles. Kind of a Catch-22
Wow, that is painful to watch. If only they could build up a bit of speed. Did they not have to run any similar courses to get there?
How is that possible? Seems like it has to be a joke…
The poor yellow flag guys.
Okay, Carl. I was laughing hysterically already, but your comment put me over the top!!! I’m crying. Thanks!
I’m not sure I get the joke here. Are we supposed to go “Ahaha, look at those dumb women.” Then “Oh, crap, those are guys! This changes everything?” It’s funny either way.
Is this supposed to be some sort of commentary on the perception of men vs. the perception of women? Because I really don’t see a difference in the level of humor. I’m actually just annoyed because it feels like someone is trying to shove a poorly executed argument down my throat.
In the first two videos, they are women. In the last one (the successful one) they are men. No argument, really.
That’s a HUGE kitchen!!!
That is hilarious! But in all fairness, some of the guys are having a pretty rough time too. I would never be able to do that, it looks really difficult.
I guess this is proof that women cannot do anything a man can do. My other guess is a combo of old ladies that were completely drunk. They seemed to have no riding experience at all.
lol how on earth did those women get into the X games? They look like a bunch of amateurs.
They are all in a hurry to get back to their kitchens to make sandwiches
I don’t think it’s the people, it’s the course… I’m guessing even Chuck Norris would have a hard time with that course.
Chuck Norris has a hard time with nothing. The course would have a hard time with him.
