Wish you could come and watch a competition over here..... at the last two, I think there were a total of three blokes riding at each show. The rest were woman and children, and there was certainly some finesse shown. It's a similar story in Europe at all but the highest level competitions (and actually much of Iceland too, these days). Guess the US has a bit of catching up to do?
