INTERVIEW

COMING FROM SUCH A LARGE FAMILY HISTORY OF TRIALS AND MOTORCYCLE RIDING , DID YOU FEEL OBLIGATED TO RIDE ?

JOSH : No , definitely not . It ’ s my passion ; it ’ s what I love and what makes me happy to do . I don ’ t know what I would be doing if I didn ’ t have motorcycles . There ’ s definitely a long line of family history behind the sport ; I think that ’ s something cool to look back on and know that you were a part of that .
It ’ s definitely a once-in-alifetime opportunity to get to travel the world and ride your motorcycle . It ’ s taken me some crazy places and I ’ ve seen amazing things . I ’ ve learned a lot and I ’ ll be forever thankful about that . My parents never really forced me into riding motorcycles or anything ; they haven ’ t really pushed us to do any single thing , and I think that ’ s what has actually kept me going in the sport . I played soccer as a kid , and I really enjoyed that , but as I got older , I started to realize how cool motorcycles actually were and that I really wanted to be a pro trials rider . It ’ s awesome , and I wouldn ’ t trade it for the world .
KYLEE : I didn ’ t feel pushed at all ; yeah , my dad wanted me to ride and he was like “ I can get you a bike and I can get you whatever you need ,” but he never pushed me to practice or do any of that . if you want to do this , I ’ ll help you and I ’ ll take you
I think that ’ s one of the reasons why I just like love it so much and have an actual passion because I found that I really liked it and like this was my thing you know ? This is what I like the most .
