Ashley Fiolek, 19-years-old, is making quite a statement in women’s sports and specifically women’s motocross. Ashley was born deaf, but her handicap is her advantage. She doesn’t worry about who is coming up on her in a race, she just rides. She rides well, very well. So well that last year she became the first woman on the Honda Red Bull factory MX team. She went on to win the 2009 X Games Women’s Moto-X Gold Medal, and she is just getting started.
See Ashley at work and sharing her heart in this video. She is such a humble and driven athlete.
