Give your answer to this question below!
You need to contact your own countries governing body of motorsport and ask them as things do differ from place to place. The country I am in the girls have the same rights as the boys although there is no specific supercross class just for girls. They have to be able to hold a national mx licence and then be capable of passing the endorsement for supercross before they can earn the right to race and then it also depends upon what type of sx series you are looking at as the top national events a rider has to qualify to enter as well. Last year they allowed juniors to race for the first time at our national event and one of them was a girl. She really did not do all that well against the boys but she gave it a go. I have not seen a female (as yet) race in our National sx against the boys in the lites or open classes and to be honest I am yet to see a female rider here that would be good enough. Maybe in the future.
Thing is unless you have raced a lot supercross is technically a lot harder to do than mx (they both take a high level of skill to do well though) as the precision of the rider has to be spot on as a mistake in sx can have very high consequences so I would suggest you get involved in mx before you even think about sx. A rider needs to be able to skim across whoops with skill and jump a triple straight up with very little practice on that particular track. It is not for a beginner in any way
Yes, you can race against guys if you want to.
Geez. A yes or no question. And somebody writes 2 long paragraphs. Some people just don’t have any brains.
The answer to your question is YES. If you want to, you can do it. If you are a good rider, you might whip them. If you are not a good rider, you may get beat by all of them. But you can do it if you want to.
yes girls can race supercross i been racing for about 6 years and have raced against alot of girls so you should be just fine
