At only 25 years old, Tarah Gieger already owns a strong legacy in the motocross world. She has countless podiums on her resume, including a gold medal at the very first X Games Women's Moto X event. And any of you guys who think you could take her had better think twice; Tarah's survived a shattered pelvis and a broken neck, so she's tough enough - and skilled enough - to leave you in the dust.
She's not all broken bones and dirt, though - she's got a soft spot for dogs and would probably rather be in a bikini than a full set of gear. She let us in on her faves recently so we can get a better glimpse of what's behind the goggles...
