Don’t rush into something that you have no clue about the subject or action. Since I was 3 years old I’ve been riding four-wheelers, side-by-sides, and three-wheelers. I was 10 years old when I received a Honda XR100 dirtbike as my Christmas present.

I fully let go of the clutch and the front end of the bike didn’t rise up like the previous attempts, I was actually riding it. The accomplishment of me overcoming that fear felt
