Recently I was watching the X-Games on ESPN. Its pretty amazing the limits that are pushed in each individual sport. One sport, BMX freestyle is like a moving art form like a ballet, gymnastics or dance. Here is a link to one of the top notch Freestylers Dave Mirra. He started out at the young age of 13 when freestyle competitions where in there infancy. He did bikes tricks out of passion, rather than a means to make money. He is very successful and is a testament to do what you love.

I cannot believe the things he can do on a bike. I think my jaw fell open when he was twisting around in the air and landed perfectly still on one front tire and just balanced there for a couple of seconds and then launched down another ramp again. Amazing. I was also secretly pleased to see he twisted his back at the end of the video. Not because I wanted to see him hurt, but because only then did he seem somewhat human ... it was the only thing he did that I could relate to!
