During every race, an ambulance trails the riders around the course. You know that sometimes you are going to end up in the back of that ambulance.

If you break your sternum or your ribs, you can still move. It's going to hurt, but if you can cope with it, you'll do it.

There is no place for arrogance or complacency in racing because you are up there one minute and on your backside the next.

They introduced all the riders with a new production, ... Tyler Evans drove in a Ferrari. Another rider ? an [ambulance] came with the siren on and then these two EMS guys got out? pulled out a gurney, there was a white sheet and the guy sat up and waved. It was playing on the danger a little bit. Another guy rode in on a big, fat chopper? really long, like one of those American Choppers . So there's a big production and then that guy's voice [imitates supercross voice]. It's very epic.

Sometimes you lose sight of what's going on around you.

If you don't know where you're going, you will probably end up somewhere else.
