I also wanted to, but I didnt even know the difference between the clutch (离合器) and the front brake. All the guys told me I co
40、uldnt do it because I was a girl. I was determined to prove them wrong, so Brett let me try his bike. I wasnt on for one minute before I fell off. He came over to see if I was okay, but then started laughing. I felt like running somewhere I wouldnt be laughed at. That night I told my dad the whole s
41、tory about how I wanted to be as good as the guys and how I had embarrassed myself. He asked how much I really wanted to learn, then I told him I had wanted to ride for a year and it was everything I dreamed about.

44、e on my dirt bike, I got a little better, and finally I was ready for my first time on the trails. At first I couldnt keep up and the boys had to wait for me. My bike constantly stalled and got stuck in the muddy creeks. Things eventually got easier, as if I could ride with my eyes closed. Every tim
45、e I rode on the trails I got a little better and the guys didnt have to wait for me. I was still made fun of, not because I was an amateur or not good, but instead because they felt threatened that a girl could do what they did.I cannot even remember how many nights I spent crying when I had lost my
46、 confidence because of those boys. Every time I needed a shoulder to cry on, my dad was there. He never let me give up and always had faith in me, even if I couldnt do something right. 47.
