Top 5 Sexiest Women in Action Sports

 
 

For most people, extreme sports is a male-dominated domain.  But over the years, we have seen some women who crept into the scene and made an impression.  But these five ladies surely make us  stop and stare and gawk.  And we're not just talking about their looks too, they can kick ... big time.

4. Elysia Ulrich



Elysia Ulrich says that she wanted a dirt bike at age 10, but only got her first taste with a 1994 KX 125 seven years later.  In December 2002, she started racing with a YZ250F.  She was soon seen in Hangtown, MRANN Women's Champion, Reno Motocross Night Series.  She became the champion in the 2003 and 2004 MRANN and 2004 Reno Motocross Night Series Women's.

But what is infinitely sexy about Ulrich is not the way she rides, but her outlook.  She is currently a full-time student pursuing a degree in business.

2. Jolene Van Vugt



On her MySpace profile, Jolene writes: "I love being active and doing all kinds of things. Motocross, bmxing, snowboarding, skydiving, FMX, wakeboarding, snowcross, hockey, go-karting, modeling, working out, dancing, spending time with friends/family, doing new adventurous things that push my limits, taking tones of photos and traveling a lot!"

Van Vugt holds the distinction of being the first female to do a backflip on a full-sized dirt bike ramp, mastering the feat way back in 2005.    She also holds the record for the longest backflip done by a girl.  

She's also part of Nitro Circus.



1. Roberta Mancino



If having a beautiful face is not enough for you, how about a beautiful face being voted as Men's Fitness' sexiest woman in all sports?

But that's not all.  Roberta Mancino has done more than 4,000 jumps in her skydiving career. In four of these, she was entirely naked.  But that's not all.  Mancino is currently the Italian national freestyle champion and a free fly record holder.  Not bad for somebody who only started in the sport in 2001.
