love and pain of motocross

 

everytime we sit on a bike, start it up. rev it, let go of that clutch, and put it in gear. we risk our lives, dreams, and futures. but we keep doing it for the love of the sport. whether you were born into it by ur parents or just simply started because you wanted too. it scare me and sure everyone when we are afriad to hit a huge jump or always have second thoughts. we let that fear drop as fast as we can, and pin it to succeed. motocross is just like school if you dont study you fail, if you dont have confidence you suffer the consequence. i watch this david bailey video, where he is sitting down talking about all these injuries of how PRO athletes of motocross are now dieing or paralyzed. we always thought " they wont get hurt, there professionals" well hey lemme tell you this. everyone who rides or races is always in danger. GOING FAST is the goal in motocross. but also BEING SMART is motocross. sometimes you gotta surrender to fear. because if your not ready or confident in doing it than DONT! but people dont get her not being confident. its just something we have to get with motocross. "there are riders that got hurt and there will be riders that will get hurt." its only a matter of time, sorry to say. were playing with fire when we race or ride. but we gotta stand tall forget tha past and race tha track. winning or losing is our sports. its eeither joy and happiness or dissapointment and a push to work harder.
