    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!

    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.

    Keep up the great work.

  26. Chris BELLO Says:

    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.

  27. DeafPopeye Bobby Says:

Tried participates international event (racing cars) but Automobile Association of Malaysia (AAM) manager won’t let me apply racing license b’coz I’m deaf.
