I'll share a Moment.

I arrive a feeling of apprehension, giddiness, butterflies in my stomach. Today I pitt myself against chance, the payment my life. We unload the motorcycles, I look up the towering Sand Dune far above. I recall all of the times I've ridden around it, graceful and peaceful. Will it be the same this time? I can only pray…

The first ride, my boots are on, the only thing between me and the ground - a pair of thin jeans. I start the bike, it grumbles a low rumble. Like a 10 I know she's ready to roll. We jet off, at 60 before we know it. We're there, we hit the dune hard and fast, straight up we go. It's time to turn, I look down and the whole world is as crystal, bright and clear. Only a second this can last, but it's my moment, fun and fast.
