What do you get when you stay up late watching Cartoon Network as you try to unwind from a late-night class?
You get to see a Red Bull commercial featuring Ashley Fiolek, on her motor bike (i.e. in action--not posing) and signing!
Fiolek has garnered attention for being a woman in the historically male world of motocross and for being hearing impaired.
I am now impressed by both Fiolek and Red Bull (though I still won't drink the stuff).

Glad to have found this commercial because I will soon be blogging about a not-so-good one featuring a female athlete. Stay tuned!
