ACKKKKKK see, Steph and Emily make these great posts and get me all freaking fired up again! lol Steph, I got time this winter.. you, me, road trip, cheap camera…. Let’s roll baby! Hehehehe Thanks for coming over here and adding your 2 cents. You are a pioneer and hugely respected. 
IF this film were to happen, I definitely think that putting the bio's in there would be very cool AND inspiring. There is so much that goes on in the background of some of these ladies lives.... it is crazy!
To me, this video could have far greater reach than just showing women can ride! It can show confidence, independence, strength, finesse, it can show that you CAN have your cake and eat it too (ie family and fun). It could also be somewhat informative. Tips, tricks, gear pros/cons kind of thing??? In can show the great encouragement that the husband/boyfriends give to get us to the levels that we are at. It could show how other female riders have affected us! For the ones who are sponsored it could show how these companies have been instrumental in improving their experience and or skills. It can show the amazing camaraderie with our other female friends out there who inspire us to push ourselves and the high fives when something is pulled off! And the pull your bootstraps up attitude when we fall. It might be something that the guys would yawn at....... but if it got their wives all fired up then in the end they might be whooooooooya'n themselves. We could always throw in a pillow fight just for chits and giggles….
I look at the reach the Ladies Ride forum has had (thanks to Sarah Whipple) and it amazes me! If you could put the energy from that forum into video form, it would be fantastic! (and on some days a really bad reality show) On a regular basis I read that one of the ladies got inspired by something they read or a picture they saw on there and their next ride out they busted it! (example) AND it is reaching into other things! Not just sledding!
I saw something pretty amazing, to me, last year at the LR. We had a gal get sucked downhill into some trees; she got tired and was having difficulty getting herself back up the hill. A group of the ladies dropped down to help dig her out, cut her a path and get her back up. It took 2 hours of digging and bustin' to do so. But it was very incredible to watch the teamwork. It was also very neat to see the individuality and the strengths of each lady to kick in where they knew they could be of use. To me, to catch this on film would have been a great thing. No one panicked, there were no arguments, no cattiness, just teamwork to get chit done! (and in the process we ended up helping a few guys out as well! hehehe) It definitely showed the strong side of a sledchick! Now, this might be a bit dramatic... but it just showed SO many things (to me).
SH- that is so funny… the magical heli! I want one!
