"Wind Chasing Girl"
Treat love as a profession
Women are not as good as men on the field
Li Lianyina told reporters that after the show was broadcast, she received many private messages, and some people told her to pay attention to safety, and some encouraged her to stick to her dreams, "I am very touched. I have to practice driving well and run well." Yina said that she has been actively preparing for training recently and will go to Shanghai to participate in the off-road motorcycle competition on April 9.
Li Lianyina's daily life is to get up early and take online classes, and then do one or two hours of physical training. She spent the afternoon practicing driving, and she would preview the lessons she would learn the next day in the evening. She was supposed to be in the first year of high school now uses online classes to learn knowledge.
"Girls shouldn't like this kind of exercise. Wouldn't it be dirty if they fall? Doesn't it hurt?" Since she started riding a bicycle at the age of 8, Yina has often heard similar things, but she doesn't care at all. For things she loves, she can toss and go back and forth in the mud every day, practice turning over and over again, increase her speed, get up immediately after falling down, and go to help the car as soon as possible, and then check her injuries. Professional terms such as clutch and accelerator have become the most common words in her life.
Yina said that in the national professional off-road motorcycle circle, she is one of the few professional female drivers, and she participates in about 20 or 30 races every year. Because there are fewer competitions in the women's and youth groups, she has been running in the adult group since she was 12 years old. "Before participating in the national women's group competition, I can basically run first, and I can also run into the top four in the mixed competition." It is reported that in 2015, Li Lianyina won the women's ATV sports car group individual championship in the China All-Terrain Vehicle Championship, and won the third place in the individual race of the rally model Group A (650cc or above) in the Xi'an Motocross Field Racing in 2019.
"I ran with the boys and ran faster than them, and I felt so happy." Li Lianyina said.
"Variation" of life
Piano practices to level 10, it's annoying! Fascinated by driving a motorcycle, it's great!
Li Lianyina is like most girls. When she was a child, her parents asked her to learn dance and piano, hoping that she would be a quiet girl. Yina has a very talented art and was admitted to the level 10 of the piano. But sitting at home practicing piano day after day made Yina feel tired. When she learned that her father would take her brother out to ride a motorcycle every day, she discussed with her mother that she wanted to try riding a bicycle. "Actually, practicing piano is really boring. My brother went out to practice bikes, and practiced all day. At first, I thought he was going out to play, why could my brother go out to play? I have to stay at home to practice piano every day?" My mother agreed to let Yina try it. She felt that the girl must be afraid of pain, and she would not want to ride a bicycle if she fell twice. Unexpectedly, Yina became obsessed with motorcycles since then. Li Lianyinna said that compared to playing the piano, she still prefers motorcycles. "Maybe I still like exciting things in my bones." When I was 18 years old, Li Lianyinna temporarily put down the piano that she had been practicing hard for many years and became obsessed with racing, and she "gets in the game" very quickly. "I am not a talented rider, and my physical fitness is not as good as a boy. I have to do twice as much physical training than my younger brother. There is no shortcut, and I have practiced it every day."Li Lianyina said, "After I really came into contact with this sport, I found that as long as I ride on the bike, I can always find fun and can break through myself infinitely. This may be the driving force behind my love of off-road motorcycles. "
Li Lianyina said that her mother Wang Kun didn't support her riding a bike at the beginning. In the second year of her training, she fell to her head during a training session. After being sent to the hospital, she was diagnosed with intracranial hemorrhage. The doctor said that fortunately she came in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. The mother felt sorry for her daughter and said, "Is it okay if I won't ride a bike in the future? "Yina, who was already in a state of half shock, said in a daze: "No, I still have to ride a bike. "
Wang Kun told reporters that it should be from that moment on that her idea changed. He realized that this was something her daughter loved, it was her dream, and she should support it.
Three riders in the family
Motorcycle enthusiast father trained both the siblings into professional riders
Li Lianyina's father Li Zhenhua is 41 years old this year. He has always been the coach of Yina and his younger brother.
"I started to get involved in motorcycles since I was a teenager, and I am just an amateur motorcycle enthusiast. "Li Zhenhua said that when he was a child, in order not to let his younger brother affect Yina's piano practice, he often took his younger brother out to ride a bicycle. "Yina thought we were out to play and clamored to ride a bicycle with us. I didn't expect that she would be so obsessed with motorcycles later. "
At that time, Yina and her younger brother were only a few years old. They were worried about giving them training to others, so Li Zhenhua simply became a coach himself. "I watched a lot of motorcycle-related videos and studied professional knowledge every day. "
Li Lianyina said that her father did not force them to become professional motorcycle riders, and her parents have always respected their choices, "What my brother and I want to do, they are very supportive. "Li Lianyina said that her father is spoiled for him, but he will become a "devil coach" once he trains.
Li Zhenhua told reporters that a few years ago he and his wife opened several stores and did some small business. Now Yina and her brother have participated in more competitions, so he and his wife are responsible for logistics. "The main thing is to repair and maintain the vehicle. They have to check it several times a day, and they can't be careless at all. If there is a problem with the car during the competition, it is very dangerous. "Li Zhenhua said that nowadays, motorcycle manufacturers have sponsored competitions, including accessories, tires, training and competition expenses, and the manufacturers also pay annual salary. As for how much, Li Zhenhua said it is a "trade secret" and is inconvenient to say. Why does
support children to engage in such a dangerous sports event as off-road motorcycles? Li Zhenhua said that every sport is dangerous. They wear protective gear when riding a bicycle, and racing suits also have airbags to protect, which is not as dangerous as Volkswagen thinks.
response quality I suspect that
has a professional driver's license, and there is no age limit for motocross racing
html learn to ride a motorcycle at the age of 18 and start racing at the age of 10. Many people will ask questions, can you ride a motorcycle without a driver's license? Li Lianyina said that motocross has its own racing venue and does not go on the road, so there is no need for a road motorcycle license. "The China Motocross Association gives us a driving license for professional drivers in the venue. The indicators of sports venues and roads are different, and there is no strict age limit. ”Some netizens questioned that Li Lianyina’s parents regard their children as tools for making money? Yina said: “My family is an ordinary family. At the beginning, their parents invested almost all their assets in training for my brother and I. Because my brother and I like it, they support it, it's that simple. No one expected us to achieve results. "
Li Lianyina said that many girls now wear short-sleeved and skirts to post videos of motorcycle riding online. She believes that the behavior of these motorcycle enthusiasts will cause people to misunderstand "professional". Li Lianyina said: "Many netizens left messages saying, 'This can only be played at noon, because something will happen sooner or later'. I was really angry when I saw it. Real motorcycle riders have professional equipment in training and competitions, and it is completely impossible to ride a bike in a skirt. "Li Lianyina reminds everyone that you must take good protection if you like riding a bicycle. Will it be a pity if you give up the level 10 piano and turn to riding a motorcycle? Li Lianyina said: "Actually, it's a pity to think about it now, but since you have given up, don't think about the past. Just ride a bicycle well in the future.”
Talking about the future, Li Lianyina said: “My childhood and youth are spent on motorcycles. I want to achieve something in this area. I will always regard it as a career in the future. As long as I can still run, I will continue to participate in the competition. ”
