Riding

driven by anything or if you don’t even want to succeed in life, then what's the point of being alive. I have many goals in my life, such as to succeed at being a professional bull rider, but I know that if I don’t dedicate myself to the sport of bull riding every single day that I may not ever achieve my goals. One reason why I push myself so hard is because when I’m at the rodeos and bull rides that I go to, there are a bunch of little kids looking up to me, and quite frankly, I don’t want to…

They are so dependable. If I would get a Harley and go riding down the street, I would see people's eyes light up as I zoom by. When the kids see me, I always see a smile on their faces. When you have a Harley motorcycle, you are in a brotherhood. If you respect your motorcycle, and other people who ride…
