Reasons to ride BMX…
– You are constantly refining/pushing yourself which serves as a good example that you can do the same thing in other aspects of your life
– It takes you to interesting places that you perhaps wouldn’t otherwise see
– It makes me happy (mostly haha)
– Although there is a lot of close mindedness on the internet, it is widely a pretty creative and free thinking sport/lifestyle
– It’s awesome how close the community and industry are and willing (most companies at least) to help give back to the scene.
