ATV Racing

There are many types of ATV racing that you can compete in. I think racing ATV's is really fun and exciting because you get to travel a lot; you get to see new places and have new adventures to experience. With traveling all the time you get to meet new people from all over the country, which is cool. I like racing because it is really fun and exciting because the thrill and the adrenalin with being out there. When I race I miss school on Fridays. I know people think I don't have to do anything because I'm not at school, but I still have to do everything that my classmates have to do that day, I just do it outside of class. I don't play sports in school, racing is like my football or basketball. I don't have time to do anything else because I can race pretty much all year long if I wanted. With racing you have to train all the time, I ride my bike three miles a day. I practice riding all the time and when I'm not riding I spend all my time in the garage working on my ATV to get it ready to race. Racing every weekend is hard but it is fun because I get to see my friends. Racing every weekend is hard when you only have one ATV, it helps to have more than one so your not beating the same one up all the time.

Some people think this is very dangerous because you read in the newspaper about someone dying or drinking while riding an ATV. People need to understand that using the correct riding gear makes are sport very safe. Helmet safety is the biggest issue we face. To race you need to wear a helmet, gloves, goggles, chest protecter, pants, and a long sleeve shirt or they will not let you race. It is actually no bad to wear this stuff because it doesn't hurt as bad if you would crash because you have a chest protecter that protects your chest and a helmet to protect your head from the ground. Racing can be very safe if you wear the right gear and use your head when you are racing so you don't get hurt.
