My Special Interest

	My favorite thing in the whole world to do is BMX. Street, park, dirt, all of them. Any place any condition. Not many people understand why it is such a big sport or why people do it.  People need to just live a little and enjoy what you have before it is gone and live life to the fullest. That is where BMX comes in, it fulfills my dreams and expectations of excitement and pure happiness. I do not expect others to understand because they will not unless they experience it is magic. It is usually a natural ability or attraction that attain and takes practice. The sport is definitely not an easy task which is why there are so few that become professional or sponsored.
	You always have to start somewhere. I started in my front yard with an outdated racing bike because I wanted to race when I was younger, but just never got around to it as I was busy with my so called childhood. What I considered high bunny-hops were one or two foot in height. Eventually, I just kept going higher and higher, getting stronger and stronger to be able to hop higher and higher, and I did. I next took to the curbs, hoping up them with a decent amount of speed and height. Once I got hoping up curbs, I tried the next basic trick which is 180's. Those were a bit tough in the beginning until I received help from my fellow friend, Anthony. He was much more experienced then me as he was biking for one year more than me. I quickly caught onto his teachings and worked my way up by listening to each and every one of his mini lessons every other day.
	Before I knew it, I was teaching other people how to do what I was previously learning. It made me feel great about myself, like a role model. I usually do not having that kind of feeling so it was a great feeling. I also want others to feel the same way and have fun biking. There should be no restrictions and everyone should work together to bring closer the community. Unfortunately, There will always be the negative people who try to bring down the recruits because they do not want them to be better than them. They need a wake up call and cleansing.
	There's a special feeling when I ride my bike. The sound of my tires rolling on the ground just knowing I get to fly today and do what I do best. I can not fully explain the feeling and why I have the feeling except that it relieves all my symptoms of depression and stress, doing what I love. I've learned a lot about myself also from this adventure. It has built my character up to the point where I am satisfied with myself and want to strive to increase this feeling of confidence and accomplishment. You could call it an interest, but I call it a passion.
