You might remember the story of 20-year-old Nora or Noora Naraghi, Iran’s first woman motorcross champion and her dream is to race in the U.
S.
Noora and her mother Shahrzad (also a motocross racer) are currently training a small group of women in their Middle Eastern country, against the social norms that ban women from riding motorcycles, trying to promote the sport.
Naraghi obtained permission from her husband to go to the States and train with Stefy Bau, the former 2 time Women’s World Motocross Champion and owner/instructor of 211 MX school and her story hit the mainstream news, as you can see from this video from CNN.
