Cross country and track to an outsider, they can only be seen as running. Well, to a student of the sport they are both so much more. Runners are gathered to both, but there are plenty of variations between the two. Although I love both of these sports, if I had to side with one, I would choose track. These can commonly be seen in training, races, and people.

As a young kid I always loved bikes, cars, and basically anything that can go fast. So when I was seven years old I got to ride my first dirtbike. The dirtbike was our cousins so I rode it as much as I could. When I first saw the dirt bike I was very confused at all the complicated controls and buttons it had. It took me a few hours for my dad to teach me and help me learn how to use every thing. The dirt bike itself was bright yellow with black stripes across it and It reminded me of an old rotten banana but I still liked it anyway. Since I was seven years old I had training wheels which were thick bulky tires that looked older than time itself. Before I got onto the dirt bike I had a helmet and bodysuit to protect me incase I fell or crashed. The helmet was yellow and too big for my head like the bike and the bodysuit was a dark black and way too large for me.
Most of the time I ride is when I race. I Don’t mean in races I mean with my uncle and dad. I really hope I can get better at riding. One day my friend zander and me are going the ramps.
Sports are not for everyone. I tried a variety of sports throughout my childhood but I was never really athlete material. I am as slow as a turtle and I have little to no hand-eye coordination, but I gave each sport a try. It was truly a shock when I decided to run cross-country since I had no speed whatsoever.
It is perhaps the most influential motorcycle movement the world has ever seen.

Historically, café racer is not only a style of motorcycles, but also a nickname of man.
Skateboarding is much more than a sport. Skating has loads of benefits mental and physical. It’s a way to make new friends and bond. Skateboarding has a very wide range of perks. The United States Marine Corps experimented with the use of off-the-shelf skateboards in the late 1990’s. They used these in urban-combat military maneuver exercises to detect sniper fire and tripwires. In the next few paragraphs I’m going to explain why skateboarding should be considered more than just a sport or a hobby.
Parkour was never considered has a sport and it is not an Olympic discipline. Is parkour really a sport? I personally think that it is a sport because of three things: physical abilities, mental abilities and hard working. In like every sport you need to have those three to succeed.
One morning I woke up and got ready to go to the park. I wanted to find a sport that was fun and would help me get in shape. When I arrived at the park I tried several different sports. I would have to try playing different sports to find out which one is going to be my favorite. I like a sport that offers me enough exercise to stay fit and doesn't cause pain in my muscles.
