CRASH & BURN

There is a comfort in getting uncomfortable. Every day I’m riding on an adrenalin rush and constantly scaring myself – some days more than others, particularly if I’m trying new things or almost crashing. That’s why there’s a sense of pride walking away from each session, because you’ve overcome the fear. The positive endorphins running through your body give you a feeling that is so addictive. You crave it. And that rush comes about only because you’ve pushed yourself out of your comfort zone. And you’ve survived.

The ability to overcome fear has a lot to do with your personality; it’s like you’re constantly having an internal chat with yourself. If I do crash my mindset isn’t, “What if I get hurt again?” Straightaway I’m thinking, “When can I get back into it?” I’m aware of the risks. I know what can go wrong, but I prefer to look at it in a positive light: what can go right. That is a better way to look at life and the precarious situations that I’m constantly confronted with in BMX.
