THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

Zsa Zsa Siskin was the first and only female winner of the notorious FryupX motocross race in 1996.  Blonde-haired and blue-eyed, Siskin’s win caused a sensation and led to offers of photo-shoots and celebrity appearances.  Siskin – her father claimed her first name was “the closest I could summon to the sound of a 125cc engine growling into life” – rejected them all and committed to retaining her title.  In the same race the following year, Siskin was involved in a controversial incident involving her rival, Kirk Sykes, that caused her to crash out and break her back. Siskin required several major operations was told she would never ride again.  Siskin returned to the race in 2000, finishing 10th.  She became a professional stunt rider, acting as a double in major films, and was the first person to jump over Fryup Ridge in 2001.
