Mud is my Playground

By Tyler Rowell
Hartford Memorial Middle School, Grade 8

The snow is melting and my favorite thing to do is ride dirt bikes. I love to have the mud fly everywhere on my back and the cold tingles I get when the water soaks through my shirt. Even though there is mud, there is still snow on the ground. I rev up my 4 stroke 250 and dump clutch. Braaaap. I do a wheelie right into a snow bank. Braaap, braaap wham! Right into a tree. Flop into the mud I go. I love how the mud tastes in my mouth and the grittiness feels in between my fingers. I sit up and try to lift my bike up. Uhhhhhh uhh uh!

“Oh man, this is some amazing mud. It’s so strong. I love mud.” Mud is my playground. I wish it never dried up.
