X Games Moto X Women's Racing"The start was very tricky off the wood," Golden said. "I have to credit my time racing arenacross against the boys with giving me my edge on this tight X Games course."Golden was out of the gate first and retained her lead on the other five racers for ten laps of rhythm sections, technical transitions and a finishing jump, which she threw a whip on crossing the finish line to take her victory. Following Golden in second was the most decorated athlete in Women's Moto X, Tarah Gieger, who stayed on Golden's heels throughout the race, finishing just over seven seconds behind her. "I have lots of respect for Vicki and a second against her is as good as a gold," Gieger said. "I look forward to X Games every year and it's one of my favorite events." Rounding out the podium was Livia Lancelot who moved into third in the early half of the race, and gave Gieger a run for her money when she passed her in lap seven momentarily.
