Racing quads is one of the most dangerous sports on earth. Because you are moving so fast and hitting jumps that put you in the air. Some of the jumps you are in the air for 10 to 20 seconds that is a lot of time.I have crashed hard where i was knocked out and i cut my hand open. But the sport is so much fun i love when i and moving that fast. That is why i pick racing as my memoir.

    The sound of dirt bikes around the gorge was to hard to resist. I whipped out to the garage and gave my bike a quick check, oiled the chain, topped up with fuel, chucked on my riding gear and slipped the garage door open and I was off like rocket. I got on my bike and went down the driveway and then putted down the road and onto the beach. Then it was time to hit the boosties. I was racing down the beach and doing heaps of mad as wheelies, some probably being in 3kms or more in length, with mum and dad following in my hilux and my little brother in hot pursuit on his little bike.…

    One year ago today, the first ever Greeley Cross Country Championships was hosted, a 5k race at Josephine Jones Park between the five high schools in Greeley, Colorado- Frontier Academy, Greeley West, University Schools, Northridge, and Greeley Central.

Although today was mainly a way for Central to come out on top, I wanted redemption from the poor performance I gave at that race. Last year.…

    I’m starting over again anew something different now. The last run was great while it lasted. Day one back at practice was pretty rough, hitting balls endlessly at the range brought upon old bad habits. It made me realize how far away I was from my former swing, the consistency, strength, and concentration it had brought me. I had now found myself with a rugged backswing and an upbeat tempo.…

    Before Brayden arrived to pick me up, I worked both of the horses for a hour each. Afterwards, I bushed them and turned them out to the field for the day. They deserved a day off relaxing and grazing under the sun. Before turning them loose to their own devices, I spray them down with fly spray on and slip their fly masks on. Both horses trot around the field before settling down to graze.…
