Women's motocross has always been on the radar and an important element of the sport. Some may argue that females who know how to twist the throttle don't get enough cred...and that has been a debate for many years.
What I do know is that long before there was heavy promotion for women's racing, there were a few pioneers - and one Dynamic dynamo was none other that Lisa Akin.
There's no way I could judge the prowess this woman commanded on her YZ. She might have been a fringe member of the Michigan Mafia, but was in no way the least. Great rider, good form, and always appreciative of her role in racing.
I have to make a confession: I was less about the mechanics of motocross and more about the personalities. Let's not ever forget to tell the tales of those who made the sport great.
Lisa, thanks for adding your skill and expertise to the mix.
