On Wednesday, March 29, 805 Beer released its latest documentary film, “Inverted Perspective,” featuring the renowned professional motocross star, Vicki Golden, the pioneer of female motosport. The film chronicles the milestones and legacies of Golden’s life and career, exploring her personal hurdles, from the tragedy that struck her family when an ATV accident left her father paralyzed, to her groundbreaking impact on the sport, including achieving many of the sport’s female firsts – such as landing the title as the first female competitor in a Supercross Night Competition and Four X-Game Gold Medals. The film is now streaming worldwide on YouTube. The full-length documentary (TRT: 36:42) is available to watch for free here. 
   
Hailing from El Cajon, a town near San Diego, Golden’s family has always been involved in the motocross scene. It was her own determination and undeniable skill that led to her becoming a professional at 17-years-old. The film tells the story of how she is breaking barriers for women in motocross and action sports and uncovers her dedication to all disciplines on two-wheels. It is this determination that keeps her craving success as she continues to leave a legacy for an entire generation of female riders to follow.

“I’ve lived my whole life around motorcycles,” Golden said. “Telling the story of how they’ve shaped my life, with a brand that shares in my passion for two wheels and good times, is unreal.”  
   
“We are excited to see this film across the finish line. Vicki has spent her entire career as a trailblazer, considered by many to be the most successful woman on two wheels,” said Dustin Hinz, Firestone Walker Brewing Company Chief Marketing Officer. “The work she’s done for the sport of motocross, women, and future champions is a testament to her legacy.
