"I really like to go dirt biking with my brother, dad and sometimes sisters in the off-season. I find it really fun, challenging and kind of scary all at the same time. It reminds me of skiing because you always have to look ahead and pick a line of where you want to go." (olympichopeful.org, 12 Jun 2017)
