When I sat down on a dirtbike for the first time, I felt as if something was awakened within me. Something almost primal. The urge to tear up some sod on this two-wheeled motorized horse was all I could think about. Taking it out for a ride across the open fields, through the lush forests, down that old dirt road, and up the rocky mountainside. Not only did riding provide a physical escape for me but it also allowed my mind and body to both wander and experience new things. When you ride you feel free. Free of the problems that plague you and free from the world in which you live every day. To some, it’s a hobby and to others, it’s a way of life. When you ride you feel unstoppable and empowered. That’s when I realized that this was more than just a thing, this was a passion.
