Girls Gotta Eat DIRT

Girls Gotta Eat Dirt Presented by Ripton & Co.

This is the bike movie you didn’t ask for and never knew you wanted. And yet it is exactly what you were looking for.

Girls Gotta Eat Dirt is the story of three best friends and roommates—Delilah Cupp, Clare Hamilton, and Avra Saslow—who have perfected the recipe for nutritious and delicious riding bikes with friends. Follow the trio through the finest dirt Silverton, Colorado has to offer—from exposed rocky ridge lines to loam tunnels deep in the woods to old mining roads. Whatever the terrain, these girls will ride it in style, complete with jorts, polos, and even… fur coats?

I was just rewatching this on YouTube and finally noticed the MASSIVE dressing sticking out from under one riders' shorts. Well earned.

This was so rad, one of my fav videos so far this year. Really captures what it's like to have nothing but goofin-around-fun on your bike with friends.

I'm not getting if this is a tongue in cheek video against the typical mtb bro video, but it just seem packaged and fake. Or i just turned into a curmudgeon in my late 30s. Who rides in short short demin. Sorry, im just projecting my prostration in crossthreading my pedals servicing it.

I think you are 50% right in that assessment that you are a late 30s curmudgeon, and the cross-threading pedals reference almost saved that post. This appears to be a well put together and to me, genuine edit of a unique group of friends lucky enough to have found themselves in this position at this time in their lives in a very unique part of the world to tell a compelling story of what most of us want in riding bikes: youth, skill, and friends to push us and give us shit. The only thing out of place for us long-time VitalMTBers are that they are young women, who can definitely manual way better than 80% us late 30s curmudgeon's on this site. I'm all for it and was stoked on this vid.

The video has been made or commissioned by a company selling jean shorts...

I think this is what you were trying to say, right?
"I'm a man, and everything that does not include a man is scary and threating. Therefore this video is clearly trying to make fun of me for being a man. In no way could a group of non men make a honest film about doing a thing they like to do. This is a trap and is anti man biker propoganga." This was infact a toung in cheek reply.

That is not what i mean at all. Sorry if it seems that way to you. I'm just asking if this is a parody of the typical bro mtb video. Mainly because of the jean shorts riding apparel, which seems odd to me.

This is really good stuff. Exactly why I ride bikes - having fun and heckling friends. Makes me want to go ride. Great job to all.

RAD Girls!

Looking back, I realize that my comment was a bit patronizing and sexist. You are not girls. You are RAD women. Keep up the good work and I hope you stay friends forever.
