The pleasure of riding is the primary perk of being a motocrosser. But it is not the only perk. Being a motocross racer is full of subtle joys that do not involve riding at all. From my list:

I'm with you, Bob.
Does no one else have any extra motocross pleasures they'd like to mention? I know Mr. Moto has some--they're hanging on the walls and shelves of his office.

That's a good one. I do that too. There are lots of ones I have that I didn't include in the story. I don't want to hog all the good things.

While pushing the cart at the grocery store I have caught myself letting out a "BRRAAP" when passing slow shoppers. Kind of lame, but pretty funny when it happens without consciously thinking about it.

When it comes to the carts, I'm more about the freestyle. My supermans are fresh. I never hesitate, however, to brake-check old ladies who try to get to the last Cocoa Puffs before I do. I T-bone them right into a pyramid of red Gatorade, if need be.

The one thing i have always done is "block pass" my way past someone. Even if we aren't accually racing somewhere. Like in the hallways at school i will give out a lil "braap" and stuff somebody into the wall. Maybe practice a few passing techniques.
