Narrative Essay About Riding A Bike

Decent Essays
Trying something new can be the hardest and most frightening. Riding a bike, learning to swing or learning a new language can all be extremely difficult. One of my scariest experiences was learning how to ride a dirt bike at a young age. I was terrified of this little bike but, I’m glad I concurred it. I was always afraid of falling off the bike because I knew the fall would hurt badly. I felt that riding a dirt bike was an important skill I should learn. At the time, I thought it was only cool because I would get to ride and race my friends to the park and be like all the dudes on TV. I didn’t realize that once you learn to ride, you never really lose the touch as you get older. I remember the first dirt bike class I went to this humongous …show more content…
POW! Down goes me and the bike. I had fell on my side with my leg stuck under the bike. I fell all dramatically off the bike like I had been shit. I closed my eyes as I waited for someone to come get the bike. I was stretch out on the ground, everyone thought I had passed out. My teacher helped me up to try again. It felt like I had gotten on the bike and fell hard to the ground about a million times. After so many tries I had concurred my fear and was able to go on to the next part of training. I rode of quick ass the dirt hit my teacher in the face. I could feel the harsh wind through my coat and helmet as I zoomed off the next dirt track. I immediately went to the large dirt track, thinking I could handle it. All the other guys were having fun and doing flip tricks in the air. I went to the top of the dirt, looked down to my ending stop. Pressed on the gas two times and all you heard was Broom! I had took off down the dirt pile. The most hair-raising encounter, I would o never thought I was so shocked that I had enough confidence to do that. Learning to ride a dirt bike was not a cake walk for me, but in the end my consistency paid off. Not only did I learn how to ride, but I also learned about patience. Now when I confront a new situation I am not so frightened by what might happen. I may feel awkward at first, but I know that as I keep on practicing my skills will get better. I will feel more comfortable. It feels great and refreshing when you achieve a goal you have set for

    Every little girl grows up loving horses, but most outgrow that desire. I never did. When I was young, I was scared of them because the first horse I fed a carrot to looked as though he could eat me. I was 4 years old and also the size of his head. For the longest time, I wished to ride and train horses even though I did not know a single thing about doing that; today, I teach other people more about how horses work within their herd and how humans can better work with their horse.…

I engaged the stabilizing rocket boosters on my unicycle to combat against the tumbling motion I was set into.…

I, as with anyone with a slight concern for dangerous heights, wasn’t too keen on dangling hundreds of feet off the ground, and was extremely anxious.

It’s as easy as riding a bike.” In some cases, riding a bicycle isn’t as easy as you would expect.…

    I learned that falling isn’t always necessarily bad. Instead, it can be something awe-inspiring if you let it be. I also understood that failure isn’t something to be scared of, it’s something you learn from and make sure you don’t repeat the same mistakes. It might be just another recreational activity for everyone, but to me, it helped me recognize my real fears, my potential and my ability to overcome challenges, irrespective of how frightened I might be. Most of all, I acknowledged the fact that I can push myself to greater lengths, than I could ever envision and that I’m braver than I thought I was.…
