The wind hitting your face, the thoughts in your head, the music’s bear urging you on. The feeling is like nothing in the world. It is an experience that is both soothing and deeply moving. In the past I used not care for biking at all. I finally learned in 4th and 5th grade, before that it seemed like an arduous task that I had no interest in. Even when I did learn to ride a bike, I still could not get into riding. My blue bike made it hard for me to get any enjoyment from it. It had no gears to help alleviate going up hills, instead it operated on man power alone. This was a problem because much of seattle feels like one big uphill climb. This all changed two summers ago when I had an opportunity to get a new bike. When I got one I hesitantly decided to take a ride. Through that summer I took rides to be alone with my thoughts. This was important for me. Some days I would ride on and on it almost felt like forever. I even reached the tip of Lake Washington. I reached 20 miles that day. Once I mistakenly forgot to bring a phone. When I was riding the distance seemed to disappear. I spent 3 hours riding, but it felt like nothing because as I went I was thinking and thinking. Biking so it seemed became more important the more I rode. Biking, …show more content…
After that summer I became more focused on how I needed to change. I was motivated to finish things that I started even if they were hard, I had to persevere through them. I was putting myself out there by talking to people more and asking them to hangout. People have mentioned that I am a very different person compared to who I was in middle school. When things came my way now, I would not give up. I persevered through more than I did before. School was not something I dreaded to do anymore I looked forward to it and tried by best. I planned ahead and worked on things little by
Have you ever rode a dirtbike? I have my dad got it for me on my 9th b-day. After receiving this dirt bike, I now ride it all over the place. It has become apart of my life!
When ever you go out riding whether it be for pleasure or for sport, on-or off-road
At one point I came to the conclusion that I’m either going to fail, go to summer school, or go to a school that I didn't want to attend. I felt so disappointed in myself because I knew that I could've done better. So then one day I told myself, “I can do this”. I then started to study more than I usually did, I turned in all of my missing work and my present work, and I also took an after school tutoring class
I was born and raised on snowmobiles. I remember times when I would fall asleep in front of my parents and, being able to ride by myself when I was 5 till now. All the trips my family has been on in four states and we are talking about going to the mountains this year. Being able to ride around here with all my friends see who can go the biggest jump.
Bicycling was an exciting experience for two reasons. First, it has allowed me to travel around the city. Second, it gives me a chance to hang out with my friends. I love bicycling, I think it is fabulous! I can now observe my city, the people that lived there, the architecture, and the trees and animals, etc. Sometimes in our life, we just need to slow down our pace. We're so used to rushing through life that we don't even know what we have missed, but It's hard to blame ourselves because we're busy about our jobs especially when we were living in the city. I was once like that; I head right straight to school when it's time for school. As I walk I would only stare at my watch instead if looking to my left and/ or right.
It's a feeling that will be left under the helmet of the rider it will only be your feeling if you have a dirt bike and helmet to know what it feels like to ride. A piece of advice would be that never hold back, let the nerves settle on the track. The very first thing you will need to know is how to even ride a dirt bike obviously. So start when you are young to learn to ride it makes everything else a breeze when you get to the bigger bike with clutches.
It was a rough start at first because of the multitude of changes that occurred all at once but I was determined and knew I could do it. I had lots of support from my family and they helped me get through the transition of being in school again. Although what I took as support
This summer I went to my lake house, on Lake Shafer. I tubed, skied, wakeboarded, and Kneeboarded. At the start of summer, I was tubing. It was so exciting when I caught air. I had to at least hit 4 feet in the air when my tube hit a wave. I was going so fast, it felt like I was hitting 70 mph when my mom turn the speed boat. It was the best time.
The car ride was reduced to complete silence. My head was turned towards the window, longing to be anywhere but there. I noticed the road curve in the distance, the thick trees swaying in the wind, and the sky turn dark ominous shades of blue. My thoughts drifted but always seemed to be pulled back to our problems. Was it my fault? No it couldn't be. Whenever your temper got out of hand you pinned it on me. Yet somehow I was always left with the feeling the overwhelming feeling of guilt for resenting you. It was like a constant tug a war between forgiveness or refusing to accept your behavior. I glanced over at you, driving with one hand on the wheel, the other resting against your head. Your jaw was clenched tightly and you had that crease
I have come to love bicycles in the course of the past year. I am especially fond of mountain bikes, including my own. Riding it opens up a whole new world of opportunities and challenges for me. I am still fairly fresh to the whole mountain biking scene, so I push myself to become better with more experience. Riding is an outlet; it is something I can channel pent up energy through. I love the sport because it is a full body, soul, and mind experience that affects all five of the senses.
I had to give things up and sit and watch all of my friends do what I wanted to do. After all the stress, I realized I had to catch up, because school meant everything to my future. School is not a place for me, and neither is the work but it is something that is nessecary for me or anyone to succed in life. It was hard for me to focus on my work or even understand it. Teachers can only go so far to help there students and so can others.
Izaak realized how fast he was going down the hill. He tried to stop with the brakes, but there were none. All Izaak could think was this is how it would end. Izaak was knocked out, forgot who he was, where he was, all the memory was gone. Did he ever remember another thing? Does he even ride bikes anymore? Did Izaak live?
We are two minutes away from riding my dream ride since fifth grade. My sister, cousin, and I walk into another line for seats. When the next ride unloads, we begin to file into the seats and I am literally bouncing up and down on the seat. Our seat belts are fastened, the 3-D glasses are put on, and the ride finally begins to
We were smiling and hooting because we knew this ride would last the day. From the top to the bottom. The trail we were taking was the longest trail we had ever taken in two years of snowboarding. By the time we stopped at one of many bars and restaurants on the side of the mountain for lunch. I was exhausted and starving so I ordered bratwurst and fries and had a pint of pilsner. Which had become one of my favorite. During my travels in Europe. I found out fast that alcohol hits you hard at high altitudes. My friends laughed and teased at how quick I had gotten a buzz. Until they tried it. Then in our brilliance we decided we had to finish the trail, and we were off again. Our belly's full, our heads slightly fuzzy and our hearts full of
I was able to overcome many problems and challenge myself in different aspects. At the very beginning of the year, I was very sensitive and having a bad experience meant a bad life to me. Later on, I started to realize what I am doing in school, and why I am here… I understood that life without ups and downs means you're died.
