People don't do sports because they're fun unless their sport is motocross . Ask any athlete, most of them hate their sport, ask a desert racer the same and they will tell you they couldn't imagine their life with out it its what they wake up for every day Its part of them.They live for the practices unlike most kids in any other sport dread practice they almost rather break a leg then go to another practice sometimes. In desert racing you have no coach you are your own coach you push your self every day you try and learn new things every time you ride you cant blame any one but your self for failure. Most athletes live for the way it feels to beat the other team ,a desert racer lives for the way it feels to beat 100+ other riders single handedly on their own. Most athletes live for the way they become a family with their team,a desert racer lives for the friends they have out of the desert but in the desert, friends don't exist. A desert racer lives for the competition, they live for the friends, the practices, the memories, the pain, its who they are.
