SL74


Have you ever met or spoken to someone who's life completely inspires you? Its not their words but their actions that speak so loudly its almost deafening. The sheer determination and the fantastic ability to overcome the impossible to live a meaningful life that inspires the people they come into contact with to press on and overcome the hurdles in their lives which will ultimately make them stronger.

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of speaking to one of these people. Simon Lawson, number 74, motocross rider. He has lived for motocross since the age of three and he's pretty damn quick. He's also quick to help anyone out he can.
In 2001 Simon broke his back and was paralyzed from the chest down. He hasn't let this stop him from living an awesome life. He grows more and more passionate about life and riding everyday.

Simon is a big inspiration to me and has left a mark on my motocross journey. I look forward to the day when I have the priviledge of riding with him.
