So I finally got to ride a dirt bike for the first time in my life. To make things even more interesting, I did that at Area 51 on the medium sized track.

I surprised everyone at how well I did. I pushed myself to try getting better. I ended up only crashing 2 times and on the exits of turns due to soft dirt because of not being watered.

I did how ever already start clearing jumps and actually cleared 3 different jumps several times by the time I left. One being something people generally find being the most difficult on the smaller track.

Thanks to some friends that I met from taking photos at Area 51. The reason I even had the opportunity to try it.

Heres some photos.
