My Dirt Bike Experiences
I have many other hobbies other than hunting.
One of my other favorite things to do is dirt bike riding. Dirt
bike riding gives me a thrill that can only be surpassed by the site of
a deer walking through the woods. Riding was actually my first passion
in life. I attained my first dirt bike at the age of five and since
that day I have been all about riding. I do two types of riding, casual
and racing. I have actually raced one of my bikes in a racing series,
an amateur series but a series. That was an experience that I greatly
enjoyed. I also just enjoy casual riding with my buddies. We all
get together, load up the bikes, and take off exploring. Here are some pictures.
As you can tell from these pictures, dirtbike riding
is extreme. You push your body to the limit doing extreme stunts and
dangerous maneuvers. I have done my fair share of dangerous stunts and I
have pulled most of them off, but the ones I didn't I have the scars to
show for them. Pain only last for a time, but the memories of the
thrills last forever. Some of my greatest memories from riding came from
my mud riding experiences. It is just a tremendous feeling pushing
your bike to the limit and getting covered in mud. I once sunk my bike
in a canal while mud riding. That was an experience. Once we
got the bike out of the canal and towed it to the house, I had to tear the
bike down to pieces and clean every part. The engine even had to be
torn down and each piece cleaned ,separately but just like hunting,
all the work pays off when you remember just how much fun you had.
I have tried many dangerous stunts ranging from
jumping canals to standing up on the seat of the bike at high speeds. In
the picture to the right the guy is jumping a double which is a hill ranging
from five to ten feet high. I have done this and accomplished a stunt
at the same time. The stunt was called a superman which is when a rider
lets go of the handlebars and slides down to the back of the bike and holds
on to the fender of the bike and hangs of the back. Then before you
land, climb back on the bike and land successfully. I broke my bike
several times before I learned exactly how to do it. Once you learn
a trick of this magnitude, it is worth all the time and pain put into learning
it.
