riding dirt bike, off-road riding in a vehicle and experiencing nature
I like to experience nature weather its riding my dirt bike with my brother through trails, camping in the woods, hiking to the top of a mountain or driving my jeep through a forest trails. Nature brings me peace i like to listen to the rivers flow and the birds chirp. If im not in nature i like to work on my vehicles weather its upgrading parts (suspension or cosmetic) or just preventative maintenance the progress of seeing a vehicle going from one thing to how i like it is the best.
