Where the street meets the dirt

Ride Hard 

What goes down, must get back up! Or is what goes up, must come down?!? Either way, if you’re a rider, or want to learn how to ride, then the first thing you should know is that you will eat it if you haven’t already. If you really think about it, there are only 2 types of riders out there…those who have fallen, and those who are going to fall. Even the professionals have at least one good accident under their belt. So there’s no reason to feel ashamed if you’ve lost control of your bike once or twice before. We all do it. That’s why it’s good to know upfront that riding is no joke. While it can be a lot of fun, you have to respect your bike, whether you ride a street bike or a dirt bike.

There’s nothing wrong with riding hard, in fact, we’re all about it. The world of riding these days is huge…especially in Southern California. Many dirt bike riders are crossing over to the street biking world and vice versa. For some it’s a hobby, for others, it’s the dream job, or maybe even a career. There’s everything from the X-Games, to stunting, to racing, to just flat out riding…and of course it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. But not to fear, this website bridges the world of street and dirt bike riders, and features stories from all different riders’ experiences.

This month we’re featuring those oh so close call stories. A lot of riders have them. Feel free to share your story in the comments section or by e-mailing us at runaltamirano@gmail.com. Pictures are great too (nothing like a good visual). Your ideas are welcomed here.
