In an attempt to understand some things last night I got to thinking why I ride.
For me its this:
Thrill...adrenalin, railing a sweet corner or hitting that big jump that has been bothering me. Going faster than I feel comfortable at times. Getting that flow where you feel everything is going just right. Racing gives me an outlet for pushing the limits and fighting to be better than the other guys on the gate.
Friends...Hanging out with good people with common interests. Meeting new people, I have met the best of friends all through MX.
Fitness...This is my gym. Its the reason Im in any kind of good shape physically. Its the reason I want to stay in good shape.
It clears my mind....Along with probably 90% of motocrossers Im certain Im ADHD. When Im riding or at the track everything else in my brain is shut off. When Im riding its the only time my thoughts are quiet. Its a fantastic stress reliever.
And now I get my kids going so a times we all get the toy hauler out and make a weekend out of it. Camping, hanging out together and relaxing.
Those are just mine in no particular order. What are yours? Im not asking what got you started but instead why do you keep doing it?
