“Last chance to burn your name into the dirt. Look at me—eyes on me. No, don’t look at the kid with the fancy goggles. He peaked in practice. Eyes. On. Me.”⁠ ⁠ “Now—before you twist that throttle—I want you to remember what our goals are today. What are our goals? Huh? To have fun? To be safe?”⁠ ⁠ “Wrong. That’s what the losers say when they finish 9th and cry into their GoGurt.”⁠ ⁠ “Our goals are: rip holeshots, scare the dads, roast the berms, and cross that finish line before anyone even realizes their visor’s fogging up.”⁠ ⁠ “You see that kid with the number 12? I know his dad. Nice guy. Chiropractor. You’re about to make him question his whole bloodline.”⁠ ⁠ “There are two kinds of people in this world: champions, and everyone else’s dad.”⁠ ⁠ “Let’s go out there and ruin someone’s Saturday.”⁠ ⁠ “Start it up. Ride hard. And remember—if you crash, crash cool.”
