Today I read a article called "Dirt Bike Tragedy an exaple of a bigger problem". The 14 year old Jermaine Alexander crashed into a vehicle on Frankford Avenue. The cause of this situation that her mother states is that her son died because of a police pursuit. The mother also said, "You got kids out here, killing and selling drugs. I got a kid that rides dirt Bikes and plays football, and that's your concern?" The department has a no pursuit policy for the vehicles, saying that the dangers of a chase outweigh the offense.
I am a dirt bike fan but it can be very dangerous. You can either crash into something or get it confiscated by the cops. When I was 11 years old, I had a 90cc which was red and black. I would sometimes ride it in the street but mostly my family would take me to a dirt yard so I wouldn't get it confiscated. One day I was walking down the street and saw a dirt bike accident happen right in front of my face. After that, I stopped riding them. If you don't have the skills to ride it, you shouldn't ride it at all. Dirt Bikes can be very dangerous because it is sometimes to fast for people and that they can't handle it or also might crash into a car. Just like in the story.
I can really relate to this story because I used to like to ride dirt bikes but now its not that important to me.
