A day at the track with Wren Doyle

         Wren Doyle is a student at Grand Canyon University, majoring in Pre-Med. While going to school she also loves to swing her leg over her CR-150 and ride for hours. When I met up with Wren at the end of the  day I asked her some questions about why she rides and the conversation got me thinking about why other riders ride. So I decided to start this blog about riders I meet at the tracks all over.

I sat down with Wren and asked her some questions regarding the reasons on why she rides. Here are her responses.

Who is you favorite rider and why?
    Dean Wilson because no matter how many times he screws up he always finds finds ways to win! Also when he sucks at a race he turns his attitude around and will win and he is just awesome. Oh and he is from Scotland.
Who do you like to ride with?
     I like to ride with my Dad because he is the one who inspires me to ride! And he is my Dad. I want to be just like him, in some ways.
What is most challenging about riding a dirt bike?
      The most challenging is when you first start and having to use the clutch and getting motions down.
Who has impacted your riding the most?
    My dad impacts me the most because no matter how many questions I have to ask he never gets frustrated and no matter how many times I mess up he always is there telling me to keep trying and never give up.

Wren hasn't been riding her whole life but she does have a passion to get better everyday. She will never ride The Monster Energy AMA Supercross but, she has a passion and this is her way of dreaming.

A day at the track with...

    Whenever I go to the track I think about how hard the riders work and how much this sport really takes. I have always wanted to ask why the riders race or who inspires them to ride. So one day I decided I was going to ask the riders these very questions. Before I ask the riders I thought  I would share a little bit about myself. My name is Chase and I love to watch, ride, and take pictures of motocross. Writing about motocross is not my strong suit so bare with me. I am going to school to be an Oncologist but , I really want to work with Monster Energy AMA Supercross. I really want to be the next Simon Cudby and have my photos all over magazines and on billboards.

       I ride my dirt bike because of my dad, he inspires me to swing my leg over the seat and let it rip. He never gets angry when I ask lots of questions and he is always there for me when I hit the ground. The greatest moment of riding my dirt bike was when the ground and I met when I  started riding with the clutch. I fell of the bike and wrapped a light pole and some other things. I got up from the ground and i saw him walking over. When I open my eyes after I knew nothing hurt I saw him walking over to me with a little smirk on his face. He took me and helped me wash my leg. I got what he called a "strawberry" and he said something i will never forget he said "I am so proud of you." That right there is why I ride. My dad and I bond over riding our dirt bikes and it is my favorite when he says we can go out and ride. I always say life is to short so grip it and rip it. 

     I am writing this blog because it is my way of dreaming. I hope this can give you and inside look on this sport and the people who participate. They are real people with a real passion for what they do. They may never rider under the lights at the Monster Energy AMA Supercross but, they will live everyday as if it were race day because everyday is a good day to ride.
