There are many ways to be athletic and have fun outdoors. Not everyone is on a sports team here at FHS. One way lots of kids spend time at Freedom is riding dirt bikes and quads. Riding is fun and isn’t as easy as it looks; it takes skill and athleticism. Adam Miller has been riding for about three years. He has a dirt bike and he usually rides in Piccinini Flatts. Miller said he prefers to ride with friends, as opposed to riding alone. Kenny Miles, Josh Herdt, Shane States, and Andrew Christopher are some of the people he frequently rides with. Miller said, “I enjoy riding my dirt bike because it gets me out of the house.” Andrew Christopher also has fun riding dirt bikes and quads. Christopher has been riding for around five years. He has had both dirt bikes and quads in the past but he has a quad right now. Like Miller, he likes to ride with his friends instead of riding alone. Some of the people he rides with are Shane States, Miller, and Terry Wilson. Piccinini Flatts is also where Christopher rides most often. He says he likes to ride because “it’s fun going fast and being smooth on jumps and stuff.” Quads and dirt bikes are also an interest of Tyler Kerr’s. Kerr has been riding for seven years and he likes it a lot. Kerr has a quad that he rides frequently. Terry Wilson, Christopher and Shane States are the kids he rides with the most. Kerr likes to ride with friends a lot more than alone. Places that Tyler rides include, of course, Piccinini Flatts, Route 60 and around his house. Kerr rides because “it is fun and challenging.” There are many more students that attend Freedom Area High School that ride dirt bikes and quads. Riding is a thrill and is very fun, especially when you ride with your friends. Everyone has a hobby or something that they do for fun; Riding dirt bikes and quads is just another way to have fun with your friends outside.
