A Respect For One Another

This past weekend I was sitting in a room filled with some of the best motorcycling talent in the world. Included were motocross racers Ryan Villopoto and Timmy Ferry, road racer Roger Hayden, drag racer Rickey Gadson, stunt rider Kane Friesen, and off-road rider and Baja Champion Larry Rosseler.

As I was in the room watching the guys talk about their battle scars, they had a respect for one another. Sometimes we forget that even though they are different, each has a distinct talent and ability. I hate it when people say motocross is better, or road race is better, ect. Each discipline of racing a difficult in its own right.


And after watching Villopoto amazed at Hayden's loss of pinky finger and all the gnarly pictures he saw, there was a respect. I doubt Ryan would admit it but each racing in its own right is gnarly.

Just another lesson from just sitting back and watching people. I love people watching.
