Free style dirt biking wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t for Mad Mike Jones. He is responsible for the development of free style. He is my hero because he inspired me to become involved in dirt biking.

Mike has many qualities of a hero. One of the examples is that he never gives up and he still competes even when he has injuries. He is also smart and creative and he shows this by inventing new dirt bike tricks. He proves he is fearless when he tries new tricks.

Mike is a risk taker. Heroes need to be able to take risks. He demonstrates this by participating, not watching. He is a risk taker because he competes in new competitions.

Certainly, he is a hero because he inspires people. He does this by encouraging people to learn about dirt biking and through his Internet site. He is a non-smoker and he encourages people not to smoke. He inspires me to learn new tricks and to be brave.
