Arriving at the track DC already set everything up, food, snacks, tents, motocross bikes, gear, and a "small" moto-race-track just for us. Everyone started dressing up right away but since I ve never done it before (and because I was really hungover :)) I decided to wait a little bit before picking my gear. It was funny cause everyone looked like a pro after dressing up, even though some of them have never done it before either. So after a while I started looking for gear that will fit and I found the perfect match. Guess what color it was ... JUP green (and blue) for sure...my color :) So my colleagues taught me how to ride it and I took of. I had so much fun riding the bike it is unbelievable. The funny thing is I felt so fast when I was sitting on the bike... But after seeing a video I was kinda embarrassed how slow I was riding around :). I just cruised around a little, not going on any kind of racetrack just doing my rounds on the parking lot to get used to the bike. The shifting was still a little weird for me, so i did not feel that comfortable going on the track. After lunch we all had a lot of fun just chilling around, watching the others ride and just chat for a while. For me a highlight was that a lot of Pro-Skaters and Pro-Motoguys showed up too. I know it sounds kinda weird and like a groupie or whatever you wanna call it but for me it is def. a big deal to see them, because it was not like a fan seeing an idol it was more like hanging around with friends. I actually got to know some of them a little and maybe I can see some of them again in Munich (X-Games) this summer.
The second time I rode a bike I decided to go on the race track and it was def. a lot of fun. Scary for sure but once you get used to the hills and the turns it is a lot of fun, I could not go too fast tho, I think it would be even better going very fast...
I had one more wish before I called it an awesome day. I asked one of my colleagues Ben, who rides professionally (see the pic above), if he could take me on his bike just to go very very fast (sounds weird but I am a speed junky). So he agreed and we took of. Oh my god I've not screamed and laughed so much at the same time in a long time. It was so much fun and we were soooo freaking fast, unbelievable. So we returned to the DC tents but instead of going to the tent he turned and went straight onto the track. WTF NO WAY! We agreed on NO JUMPS before we took off, but here I was, sitting on the back of a huge Motocross-bike on a racetrack right in front of the jumps. Hell no he will not... YES HE WILL... fuck, that was soooo crazy. i screamed so freaking loud when we jumped over the little hill that everyone at the DC tents could hear me. But there was no way of not screaming my butt lifted up too freaking high from the bike that the only thing that kept me on the bike was Ben's feet on mine and the fact that I rapped my arms around him so tight that there was no chance I could fall of. It was the best feeling ever, fucking scary but awesome (Thanks again for that Ben). Like I said in an earlier post already "The scary things are most fun!" I had such a blast on the track, with and without Ben. It was so exciting and I am so happy I had the chance to join this DC Marketing Day.
