Watch: Deaf girl shows how to motocross
Racing motocross takes a lot physically and mentally, but there is deaf girl who races and races well.
The deaf girl Ashley Fiolek is a motocross race champion.
"I can't switch lines real quick or I could hit somebody and take them out," says Ashley.
But being deaf doesn't mean Ashley can't win.
"I think its cool to be No.1, I just try to go out and trying my best," she says.
She's doing pretty good, with a number of major sponsors on her back. Right now, Ashley is the reigning champion in the female division for motocross and third best in the world. But mostly she's a fast wheeling role model.
"I just try to be a good person off the track and on the track... I want girls to grow up and want to race," she adds
Motocross is an interest she's had since seven-year old. Now all grown-up, Ashley has gone from daddy's little girl to her dad's pro-racer who has even bigger dreams.
And one day when she's a little stronger and older, like to get in with the boys and try to qualify for a men's national.
Even though Ashley can't hear the applause, she says she's loves the competition that pushes her down the track and hopefully into another win.
