57. What is it like being married and still trying to focus on your proffesional racing? from: intensebmxerIt works out alright, he has a busy schedule too with the ARMY and is fully supportive of my career in BMX. We definitely don't take our time together for granted, try to make the best of everything and stay as close as possible when we are both on the road. If anything his support has made it easier for me to race professionally and I don't regret getting married in the least. |

56. In The 80's GT Bikes were it!!! What Makes GT Bicycles so great now?
PS -You Rule, your jumping is wicked! from: horseplayGT bikes are still it, super psyched to be riding them. The foundations of the company and the reputation it has had continue to make GT bikes legit in the industry. |

55. If BMX wasn't in the Olympics, would you still be as dedicated or would have you moved on? from: mr.edThe Olympics is definitely a motivator to push even harder, but even if bmx wasn't in the Olympics I think I still would be riding and pursuing the SX series... as long as they still had a SX series. |

54. There are good parents and bad parents in every sport. You mentioned your mom�s influence. How did she deal with your injuries? What did she do that benefited you in your career and what do you see parents doing that bother you? Did your mom ever yell, �Pedal, girl, pedal?� Is that encouraged or a hindrance? Oh, one last question, Can I date your mom? from: dehallLike any parent mom wasn't psyched on me getting hurt, but she has always been supportive of what I want to do even through the injuries. Yes she did yell pedal, but most of the time I didn't hear her, when I did though it brought a smile to my face. As for dating... you'll have to ask her ;) |

51. Hi Arielle,
my name is Laurent and I'm French, living in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). I am just wondering, your name is sounding so French, do you have any French roots or grandparents ?
Take care and au revoir,
Laurent from: lolo23I believe I was named after an ancestor on my mothers side, she may have had a little French in her, but as far as I know my roots are mostly English. |

50. What sacrifices have you had to make to reach this point in your racing career? Are you happy with those decisions you made? from: Crystal [the pistol]I don't regret any of the sacrifices i've made. I missed out on things like prom and school events when I was younger, had to work my way through college and to pay for my own races, but the experiences and places i've been far outweigh anything I had to give up. |

45. I'm a girl who competitively races, do you ever wish you could race the guys just to show them that you can actually keep up with them and be just as good as them? from: bmxgirl252Sometimes, when I was younger I used to race open against the guys which was always pretty fun, especially when they talked smack. Most guys are pretty respectful and acknowledge and encourage us now that I race pro so I don't have that desire as much anymore to go out and prove it. |
