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.
