DV,
You have been a racer since a young age, and you have had a successful career. In addition, you have been a good ambassador to the sport. Its no secret that competing in any sport at the highest level takes many sacrifices and substantial hard work. In fact, most of us fans envy guys like you who have put in the sacrifice, work and preparation to get to ride a dirtbike for a living and be successful at it.
Conversely, do you ever wish you could just ride for fun with no pressure to compete or obligations to sponsors? Basically like a kid just out riding for fun or a local amateur racer play riding with no pressure? I realize you can play ride even though you race for a living but you have some pressure to perform too. Just curious what your feeling is, because all of us fans look up to you. Maybe you and some other pros look up to us "amateurs" in some way?
