“Multiple things [make me happy]: dirt bike riding and playing tennis mostly and also fishing sometimes. With dirt bike riding, it just gives you that adrenaline rush it takes a lot of skill and it’s just fun to do. I’ve been dirt bike riding for like nine years; right now I have a gas 125. My dad taught me how to ride about like ten years ago. When I started riding I was on a Honda 50. The hardest thing to learn is making those split-second decisions of like where to turn to break or to go faster and stuff like that to avoid obstacles. My first dirt bike race when I lined up on the starting line that is something that I will remember forever. Right now dirt bike riding is a big part of my life, and we go to races like almost every weekend in the summer. I love dirt bike riding but sometimes I kind of want to trail ride a little bit too, you know? My whole family actually rides dirt bikes. My brother rides a dirt bike and my dad does too. It’s like a family sport. I would definitely not dirt bike this much if it wasn’t for doing it with my family. It’s really important because it makes me happy. Oh yeah everyone should at least try dirt bike riding. If they don’t like it they don’t like it but it’s really fun. It’s a little bit of a learning curve but it’s not that bad. As for why they should try, it is just a fun sport to do and it gives you something to look forward to I guess. It’s a little different from most other sports or hobbies, and that’s why I think everyone should try it, just to see what its all about,” Jr. Andrew Lehman said.
