How soon do dreams come true?
Or maybe you feel that dreams are too far away?
Are you even dreaming at all?
I constantly wonder about athletes and their dreams and goals in life. So many find themselves in positions of notoriety and fame but that is not typically what they were wanting to achieve. Most are like everyone else. Just want to ride each day and enjoy their lives. I believe what separates these athletes from the rest is being relentlessly pushing for what they want, never entertaining a Plan B.
Ryder is absolutely crushing it in the Hard Enduro world. At 20 years old, this guy has his heart set on being #1, and he pushes hard every single year to get there. The difference between Ryder and most others is that he KNOWS he can win. He has won many times and he knows he can continue doing it. Once you know, you know. Ya know? It's the same rule with everything else in life.
For a young racer like Ryder to step on the podium multiple times a year is not unheard of. But typically the background of most other riders is vastly different from his. We get to dive into some details about his life that most don't see or expect, but once you understand some of the key facts to life as a racer, you too can compete at a level he does, and maybe one day step on the podium with him.
