I had always enjoyed riding and the adventure that came with it but as I got bessyer I rode less. Until I rarely rode. Little did I know this would spark a passion inside of me. But soon I would crash while taking a corner to fast and break my arm. If this did anything it made me more eager to get back on the bike and push my self harder.

Banks County was nearly number one in the State, the furthest we had ever ranked in history, and spirit and hopes for State Championship were high. I was nervous, like nobody’s business, I had messed up during my senior night because I was upset for my parents for not showing up and escorting me. And I was scared that I was going to do horribly.
