My journey in the dirt started off with BMX bike riding. BMX stands for bicycle motocross, and this sport often takes place on dirt tracks with sharp turns, rough terrain, and huge jumps. BMX bikes are simple in their design and lack a few features compared to regular bikes. For instance, BMX bikes have no selectable gears. My first BMX bike looked a lot like the one I have provided a picture of below.
BMX biking was so much fun to me and I spent a lot of time at the track practicing for races and improving my technique to get my lap times to be quicker. After years of riding BMX, I constantly wanted more out of the sport, something it could not offer—more speed, exhilaration, and reward. Thus, after a lot of convincing and saving up, I was able to purchase my first dirtbike which would start a journey that I will never forget.
Dirtbiking isn’t just a hobby for me; it’s a passion that ignites my spirit every time I hit the trails. The rush of adrenaline as I navigate through rugged terrain, the freedom of exploring new paths, and the thrill of conquering challenging obstacles are unparalleled. Each ride fuels my sense of adventure and pushes me to constantly improve my skills. Whether I’m racing against the clock or simply enjoying the ride with friends, dirtbiking is where I find my truest form of exhilaration and joy.
