Dirt & Dust: TJ's First Dirt Bike Adventure at Scotts Mills

TJ's dirt bike initiation ceremony transformed him from cautious novice to mud-splattered enthusiast in just one adrenaline-filled afternoon! His first tentative circles around the practice area evolved into increasingly confident explorations as instructors Isaac and Rush provided equal parts practical advice and outrageous dares. The quad bikes created artistic dirt patterns across the landscape while spectators placed bets on who would execute the most dramatic (yet hopefully harmless) wipeout. By sunset, TJ's perma-grin was only partially visible through layers of dust, but his enthusiastic recounting of every turn, jump, and near-miss continued well into the night, accompanied by increasingly elaborate hand gestures demonstrating just how 'big' those jumps really were.
