These riders living the “Facility life” hated riding the same track everyday. So when I bought MotoX I wanted it BIG, nearly 200 acres with several tracks, my riders would always get to ride a different track.

DESCRIBE THE MENTAL ASPECT OF BEING A TRAINER, AND HOW IT AFFECTS A RIDER.
Unless you were a rider, it’s impossible to know what these riders are going through mentally. You have to have been in the trenches with them to understand where there mind is, at any giving time. There’s nothing my riders can go through that I haven’t experienced. So when it happens to them or their family I think back to when I was in their situation and ask myself what could someone have said to help get me through it.
