19、s (a type of bicycle designed to ride on rough ground). After all, I would need to get some practice if I was going to be like my hero! My later teenage years were spent competing in endless BMX freestyling championships; some I won and others I lost. But it was never about the trophies (奖 杯). The a
20、tmosphere was magical, with over 1,000 riders at some events. I just loved the rush of energy I got from this, and from continuously trying newer, more daring stunts.
