RE: The first ever Steemit & Crypto currency race team!

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Thats too awesome, I used to love dirt biking as a kid. We weren't lucky enough to have a track lol just "the pit" then it was onto Downhill Mt Biking... which has to be the most exhilarating thing I've even done in my life (lol I still haven't owned a car worth as much as my DH bike was) But I'm long retired from that crazy fun.

It's great to see team steemit!! people from other sports will take notice if they're smart.

I'm working on getting a nice big steemit.com decal for the back window of my delivery car (maybe a couple for my rear quater panels as well)

Cheers to you, great idea

Sort:  

I know that feeling mate... I grew up on a council estate (which now i know does have dirt bikes... for the wrong reasons! stolen ones...). I was always brought up to earn your dreams, not take them. So took me untill i was an adult till i managed to get myself a bike.

Nice one about the van lol! I've had a few comments from others about it as well haha.

My first dirt bike was an old honda xr80 when I was 10 y/o had to work off every penny of it cleaning my dads logging trucks etc lol I think he paid me 5$ per hour, 2nd bike was a bagged out kx250 lol that was way too big for me at 12 y/o... in my late teens and 20's on my own it was be able to afford a car or get a good mt.bike (transpertation and fun) ha I didn't even bother getting my license till I was 29.

Cheers man, Yeah the van looks awesome, I hope your team steemit sits a top many podiums ;)

KX250 at 12 :o haha wow! that thing must've pulled your arms off! :)

Thats the way with motox... yes its a money game in the modern era but i still see people on the start line with bikes form the 80s etc... they hold their own and prove its all about the rider!

Still long for the old days tho.. i guess we all do eh ;)

I bet they do when they're taken care of and maintained properly, My old kx was pretty bagged out lol but yeah I had to be ready and have my weight in the right spot. At 6'1 and around 150 pds even now bikes ride like they don't even notice I'm on , My last street bike was a Suzuki SV1000S hehe 325km/hr and still had almost 5000 rpm left ;) (at 5am in the summer time on what felt like an abandoned highway... so as safe as possible) I'll own street bikes/dual sports and XC mountain bikes again but I'm done with the crazy stuff for sure (Not me but the MT I used to ride)
