It is part of the solution. 4) Skibby is Male Rider #2 1) The greatest comment ever.

Why couldn’t the promoters just throw them a cash prize bone? I mean some of those women are regional and national champions and have been racing for years and could’ve kicked both our asses – that’s embarrassing.” Male rider #2 “Since when did you start lactating? Seriously I mean it – now is it not the time to get all metrosexual on me. You’re blowing this way out of proportion; we’re in a recession – cash is tight- get used to it.” Some where in Minneapolis:
