St Augustine, FL
In a sport dominated by sound, 2x Women's
Motocross Association Champion Ashley Fiolek,
profoundly deaf since birth, is just starting to
make some noise. In 2008, she dethroned five-time
WMA Champion Jessica Patterson to become the
youngest WMA champion ever. She was the first
female rider featured in action on the cover of
Transworld Motocross (or any major American
motocross publication) and stoof alone to advance
women's racing in the US to the next level of
performance, recognition and prestige. Not bad for
her pro debut, which also featurned a debilitating
mid-season broken wrist.

Back-to-Back X Games Golds
for Ashley Fiolek
Ashley Fiolek wins back-to-back golds at X Games
16, followed up by her Red Bull teammate Tarah
Gieger with a second-place silver medal finish.
After an incredible last lap win in last
year’s X Games Women’s Super X final to
capture her first-ever gold medal, Honda Red Bull
Racing’s Ashley Fiolek was ecstatic to go for
back-to-back golds at X Games 16 in the famed Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum this afternoon. Though
archrival Jessica Patterson and the most
challenging Super X course to date stood between
her and the coveted repeat, Fiolek and her factory
Honda were dominant in front of the enthusiastic X
Games faithful!
Rocketing out of the gate and into a
second-place start as the field of women rounded
turn one, Ashley wasted no time as she quickly took
over the lead early on lap one. Never looking back,
Fiolek rode a near flawless race as she led
wire-to-wire en route to her second-straight gold
medal!
“This feels so incredibly awesome right
now,” Ashley commented just moments after the
win. “Christmas has definitely come early for
me this year. X Games is so fun… This entire
experience is great, and I just couldn’t be
happier right now. I really want to thank my team
for all the hard work, and, of course, all of my
supporters for cheering me on. Thank you!”
Behind Fiolek at the checkers, Red Bull teammate
Tarah Gieger put in an incredible ride to work her
way from a fourth-place start up to a second-place,
silver medal finish!
