fear of dirt bikes!!

by Paige

I was totally and completely afraid of dirt bikes. I would cry and shake every time I even saw one. I have never met anyone else with this condition. I wish I knew what the phobia was called, but I don't know.

I've had it since birth, nothing has ever happened in the family or friends to make me feel like this, like an accident or anything.

A boy that I really liked happened to ask me out one day, so of course I said yes. Then one day I went to his house and found out he rides dirt bikes!!! and even competes on them. I was totally scared out of my mind and wanted to break up with him right away, because I didn't think I could stand it. Well he was really sweet with me, and helped me so I wasn't so afraid of them.

I can't really tell you how he did it, but he just helped me through it and totally understood how I was feeling.

I married him, and we now have 2 boys and 1 girl that all ride and compete motoross. I'm absolutely not scared of them anymore and love going to there competitions and cheering them on. I am so happy once I got over my fear. I made me realize how much I was missing out on EVERYTHING just because of one fear.
