One of my good friend’s daughters killed it last night winning a gold medal in X-Games Women’s Moto-X!
Vicki Golden made the rest of the girls class look like.....well like girls.
A little about Vicki, we met the Golden’s while practicing at LEMXP when Code was 4y/o, he got into a battle on the peewee track with some girl (Vicki) where she easily kicked his ass….we got to be pretty good friends and teamed up to take the kids (& ourselves) racing.
Pete had visions for Vicki's racing and they rode all the time with Pete’s goal in mind...to be the first father/daughter team to qualify for Loretta Lynn’s. If you have even ridden MX you know just how hard that is on an individual level let alone as parent/child team, very tough doesn’t come close.
They both qualified for Loretta’s in 05, Pete in Vet, Vicki in girls 85, and three weeks before they were to leave Pete was paralyzed while practicing.
Even though Pete was now on the permanent DL he has always supported Vicki and her racing where she went to Loretta’s three more times and came away with the Women’s Class Championship in 2008.
She then turned Pro in 2009 and spends her summer chasing the Lucas Oil Motocross Championship in the women’s class and her winter racing the AMA Arena Cross series where last winter she became the first ever women to qualify for a 250 main event in the men’s class, very tough doesn’t come close.
Tonight at 6:00pm ish she goes out again in the Women’s Enduro Cross on ESPN2. Cheer for here, its been an uphill battle for Vicki here whole career, nice to see its finally paying off.
