Ashley has been an incredible inspiration to many Deaf professionals all over the nation! She is growing and becoming a bigger star. I remember when I was working at the track in CA at a MX event and heard of a Deaf MX girl when she was 14. Now she’s much better and pursuing a great career as a Deaf Woman in the MX world.
I love this video!!! I think it is wonderful how Ashley’s parents are able to sign and can communicate with her. It is sad how so many hearing parents out there never learn to sign. Kudos to Ashley and her wonderful parents!
Keep going, Ashley! Great job. As a parent of a deaf 21 year old son, I know how proud your parents are of you. By the way, my boy is now a pilot! With determination and drive, the deaf can do anything!! You’re awesome!
OH So Cool!!!, Wow, I like watch that what you did ride & race, I don’t see any deaf girl like you, that race, but I like that and I am happy see that you did race. Keep up and keep going! Go girl! You are so great, and I saw that what your parents who can sign and supports but they look like deaf but cool parents, lucky you have them, they are very wonderful, you love. Keep smile, keep faith! Also Thumb up!!! ya!!! My parents are not skill like them no, I have hard time sometimes, but read lips sometimes but my mother little sign, my sister up down oh well, my father cannot do that, he have hard time not know how but that okay, he understand me, what I acts, or talk slow, or write him but he tells me what to do on ride horse was long time ago, I use work with my family on ranch, branding calves, my father and me ride horse move cattles round in areas different or saparate calves from the mother. My owneer horse name shorty, she is very best friend, she really work hard, but she retired about 25 yrs old, until she passed away at 34 yrs. She is very work hard, she knows where go.. sorry, about that too much I m talking about but anyway, I like your website, and was fun watch your race.
Ashley, I enjoyed watching the interview and your races. Wow, that is a challenge to ride on a muddy race track. I am truly impressed with your professional motocross achievement. You are awesome! You are an excellent role model to the deaf community. I also enjoyed watching your parents’ interview. You’re blessed with a lovely family.
I heard about you through Purple Communications “Dream Bigger”. You were missed last night at the finale of Purple’s 2009 Trailblazer of the Year Gala. We all gave you a big applause. Congrats for being one of the ten finalists.
Ashley, I live in south Calif. I go to Imperial County desert during winter season for riding ATV, dune buggy, 2 wheel bikes on sand dunes, very huge and best at Glamis. So why not you join a group of deafies. You will need to paddle tire for rear wheel on your bike. Will be cool if you come and meet Authentic deafies.
Goooo Ashley! (Not Ashley Force but FIOLEK the deaf Racer)
Roar and Zoom!!!
Keep revving out of hearies!!!
We had Deaf Motorsports organization years ago and we should reform.
Way to go, Ashley!!!
