For most of my life, I wondered how I would be at riding a quad. Finally after many years, I was able to ride one. It started about two years ago, when I learned to ride an automatic quad. I would ride it here and then because it was my cousins and they live almost two hours away. It was a utility one so it always had something attached to it.

My boyfriend grew up riding dirt-bikes, so he has a dirt-bike and a quad at his house. About a month and a half ago, he started teaching me how to ride the manual quad. It was scary at first, but really fun at the same time. It took me a while to get used to it, but I finally did it. I'm not a pro or even close but now I know the basics and I thank him for teaching me. I've come to love riding quads for these reasons:

1. It gives you an adrenaline-rush.

2. It's a learning experience.

3. The feeling of the power as you shift through the gears.

4. The feeling you get when you accomplish something.

5. Being able to do things that many people don't have the opportunity to do.
