So what crazy adventures aregoing to happen on today's ride?

(00:25):
There's only one way to findout.
Alright, let's hit the track.
Today's story is The SnowlineAdventure.
The morning air was chilly asJax, Mitch and Bonnie got ready
for their big adventure.
Today they would ride their dirtbikes up a mountain and into the
snow.
Jax was thrilled, his favouriteblue and green riding gear all

(00:47):
set for the cold.
Bonnie was bundled up too, herpink and black gear looking
bright against the frostymorning light.
Mitch tightened the bolts ontheir bikes and looked at Jax
and Bonnie with a grin.
Alright you two.
This ride is going to be toughand freezing cold.
We're going all the way to thesnow line, so we've got to stay
steady and stick together.
Jack snotted, already adjustinghis helmet and snapping his

(01:10):
goggles into place.
I can't wait to see the snow!Bonnie bounced with excitement.
I'm ready! I want to seeeverything! The snow, the view,
everything! Mitch chuckled.
Well, let's make sure our bikesare ready too.
Up there, we're going to needall the power we can to get
through the soft snow.
They filled up their tanks, thesmell of fuel mixing with the

(01:31):
fresh mountain air.
Jax gave his bike a strong kickstart.
Vroom! The engine roared to lifeand he felt the thrill of
excitement.
Mitch and Bonnie's bikes startedup with a hum, the sound
bouncing off trees around them.
Ready?
Mitch asked, gripping hishandlebars with his cold
fingers.
Ready?
Jax and Bonnie shouted together.
Ready?

(01:51):
They took off, their bikesrumbling up the rocky trail
leaving tracks in the frostyground.
The trees were tall and thickand the air smelled like pine
and fresh earth.
The path was rough and Jax couldfeel every rock and bump as his
bike jolted along the trail.
Stay loose on the handlebars,back at them.
Let your bike do the work overthe bumps, keep your knees bent.

(02:15):
Jack snotted, keeping a lightgrip and bending his knees as
his bike bounced over the rocks.
Boom, bow, boom, bum! He lovedthe thrill of controlling his
bike over the ground as itbounced across the rocks.
Bonnie followed close behindshouting, this is amazing! It's
so bumpy but it's still heaps offun! They wound their way up the

(02:35):
mountain, the trail gettingnarrower and steeper with every
turn.
Jax noticed patches of frost onthe ground, sparkling in the
morning sunlight.
He leaned back on his bike asthey climbed a particularly
steep section.
Remember to keep your weightcentered, Mitch called, as he
powered up the hill.
If you lean too far forward, youmight tip over.
carefully adjusted his weight,leaning just enough to keep

(02:57):
control as the bike's engineroared under him, pushing up the
rocky slope.
Jax did the same, his bikebuzzing with effort, as he
climbed right behind Bonnie.
The higher they went, the colderit got.
Jax could see his breath in theair, and small patches of snow
dotting the ground.
Look, Bon! he shouted.
The snow's getting closer! eyeswidened.

(03:19):
I see it! We're almost there!she said.
The trail curved sharply, and upahead they spotted a fallen tree
bocking the path.
Oh no! Mitch said as he stoppedand inspected it.
Alright, we need to hop overthis log.
Stay steady and pull yourhandlebars up a bit when you get
to it.
Don't hit it too fast! Jacksnotted, focusing on the log.

(03:42):
He revved his engine and gavehis bike a quick blast of the
clutch.
Vroom! He lifted his front wheeljust as he reached over the log,
sailing over it and landing witha thud on the other side.
Nice jump, Jax! Mitch calledout.
Alright, Bon, it's your turn!Bonnie grinned, her eyes shining
with excitement.
She approached the log, easedoff the throttle just a bit, and

(04:04):
then gave her handlebars a tugand pulled back on the throttle
to lift the front wheel up.
Her bike lifted over the log.
Her rear tire thumping down onthe other side.
Yes, I did it.
She said, good job.
Bon Mitch said joining them onthe other side of the log.
Alright, let's keep going.
We're getting close to the snow.
The trail got even steeper, withloose rocks that made their

(04:26):
bikes slide a little bit.
Mitch guided them carefully,reminding them to use their
brakes just enough to controltheir speed, but not to go too
fast.
Watch out for those rocks, Mitchcalled, weaving his way around
some of the big boulders.
Jax and Bonnie followed hispath, gripping their handlebars
tightly.
They reached a section where theground was covered in slippery
ice.

(04:46):
Jax tried to keep his bikesteady, leaning back to keep it
from sliding out.
little, but he was able tomaintain control, slowly making
his way across the slippery ice.
Bonnie slowed down, carefullysteering her bike around the icy
spots.
Woohoo! This is slippery, butit's so much fun! Just keep your

(05:06):
throttle nice and steady, Mitchsaid.
Too much and you'll slide out,Bonnie! With a bit of wobbling
and careful steering, they allmade it through the icy section.
And then, they saw it.
A blanket of pure white snow,covering the trees and the
ground.
They had reached the snow line.
Look at all that snow, Bonniegasped, her eyes sparkling with
excitement.

(05:27):
This is awesome, Jax cheered,feeling the cold air tingling
his face through his helmet.
The trail continued through thesnow, so Mitch led the way,
showing them how to ride on thesnowy ground.
Keep your balance and don'ttwist the throttle too fast.
The snow can make you slip andyour rear wheel will spin up if
you go too hard.
Jax followed, feeling the bikeglide and wobble slightly as his

(05:49):
tyres crunched through the snow.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
He grinned as he loved thechallenge and he could hear the
tyres crunching in the snow.
Bonnie was right behind her bikeleaving tracks in the snow.
This feels like I'm riding onice! She said with a laugh.
The forest was quiet, the soundof their engines echoing through
the trees.

(06:10):
Every now and then clumps ofsnow fell from the benches
above, landing with a soft plopon the ground or even on their
helmets.
Jack spotted a small snow bankon the side of the trail.
Hey Bonnie! Watch this.
He twisted the throttle a littleand rode through it snow flying
up in a spray around him andgetting Bonnie in the face.

(06:31):
Bonnie laughed steering her bikeright into the snowbank too.
She sprayed snow everywhere,dusting her bike and helmet, and
even spraying dad.
They rode deeper into the snow,winding through the trees,
covered in frosty branches.
The path started to slopedownhill, and Mitch reminded
them to use their brakeslightly.
Take it easy going downhill! Toomuch brake, and you'll slide

(06:53):
off, Mitch told the kids.
Jax eased his brake, feeling thebike glide down the hill.
It was a bit slippery, but hekept his balance, leaning back,
just like Mitch had taught him.
Bonnie followed, her facefocused as she carefully steered
her bike down.
They reached an open clearingwhere the snow was untouched,
smooth and white.
Mitch stopped, pointing at theview.

(07:13):
This is it.
Isn't it amazing, he said.
Jacks and Bonnie parked theirbikes, looked around in awe.
The snow covered ground sparkledunder the sunlight, and the
trees looked like they werewearing white coats.
It's beautiful, Bonniewhispered.
Jacks grinned, pulling off hishelmet.
This is the coolest ride ever,Dad.
Thanks for bringing us up hereto see the snow.

(07:34):
Mitch nodded, proud of his kidsfor handling the tough ride.
You both did great.
You're welcome.
Riding in the snow isn't easy,but you handled it like
champions.
They took a moment to rest,enjoying the view and catching
their breath.
The cold air felt refreshingafter the hard ride, and they
could hear the quiet of thesnowy forest around them.
Ready to head back?
Mitch asked after a while.

(07:56):
Jack snotted.
Let's do it! On our way down,take it nice and slow, Mitch
reminded them.
The snow and ice make it tricky,so just keep your balance and
keep an eye on the trail.
We don't want you slipping offthe side of a cliff.
With that, they put theirhelmets back on and started the
descent.
Jax led the way, carefullysteering around icy patches and
leaning back to keep control.

(08:16):
Bonnie followed, focusing hardas her bike glided down the
snowy trail.
Crunch, crunch, as the tyrespacked the snow against the
ground as they rode over it.
The trail wound through thetrees and Jax spotted a low
branch up ahead.
Watch out for that branch,Bonnie, he called, ducking just
in time.
Bonnie ducked, laughing.

(08:36):
Almost got me, she said.
They kept going, the trailgetting easier as they
descended.
The snow thinned, giving way topatches of dirt and rocks.
Jax could feel his bike grippingbetter and he twisted the
throttle, picking up a bit morespeed.
When they finally reached thebottom of the mountain, they
could see their starting pointup ahead.
Jack's pulled up beside Mitch,grinning from ear to ear.

(08:56):
That was epic! I can't believewe rode all the way up there and
I got to see the snow! Bonniejoined them, her cheeks flushed
with excitement.
I loved every bit of it! Ridingin the snow was so cool! It was
so slippery! Mitch looked at hiskids with a big smile, you both
did awesome, that was a ride toremember.
As they rode the last stretchback to their cabin, Jax and
Bonnie couldn't stop talkingabout all the challenges they'd

(09:19):
conquered in the snow.
From the rocky climbs to thesnowy slopes and everything in
between, the Snowline ride hadbeen their most thrilling
adventure yet.
Back at the cabin, they parkedtheir bikes and gave each other
big high fives.
As they got off their bikes andstarted to pack up their gear,
Jackson Bonney looked back atthe mountain.
The snow covered peaks stillvisible in the distance.

(09:39):
Jackson Bonney knew this ridewould be one to remember.
As they finally headed for thecar, ready for the drive home,
after an incredible day, theyall knew one thing for sure,
that any day on a dirt bike is agood day.
