Judging from my early childhood pictures, I I&#8217;m fairly certain it was before I could even crawl.<\/p>\n\n<p>Although I didn&#8217;t get a bike of my own until my 16th birthday, the adrenalin-fuelled blood was already surging through my veins. My late uncle &#8211; Errol Dalton was a professional dirtbike racer. Growing up I&#8217;d attend as many of his races as I could. Motocross, Supermoto, and Hard Enduro. From the bottom right photo, you might say he was my first riding coach.<\/p>\n\n<p>Hard Enduro stuck with me the most. I preferred the technical challenge of a hill climb over the speed of motocross and supermoto. My father and I ride enduro almost every weekend, and during the week when we get a chance.<\/p>\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve since entered the Roof of Africa (The mother of hard enduro) twice. The first time I broke my arm. For my second attempt at the <a href=\"https:\/\/enduro21.com\/en\/racing\/latest\/extreme-enduro\/2021-roof-of-africa-wade-young-takes-his-sixth-overall-win\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7550\">Roof Of Africa 2021<\/a> &#8211; The weather conditions were definitely not favorable. Race formats and courses had to be changed on the day along with the finish line. Unfortunately, I wasn&#8217;t one of the few <a href=\"https:\/\/roofofafrica.co.ls\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Final-Overall-Bronze.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7551\">finishers of the 2021 ROA<\/a>. I will be back.<\/p>\n\n<p>Up until recently, Errol held the record for the most starts and finishes of the Pro class at the Roof Of Africa. 22 Times. It&#8217;s always been my goal to add 1 finish of my own. That&#8217;s the reason I ride with the number 23. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It&#8217;s his memory and legacy that keeps me going &#8211; on the bike, and in life. A true role model, a kind soul, a loving heart, and a gentle giant.<br>RIP Errol. We will ride again.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><style>.kb-row-layout-id_44414d-62 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_44414d-62 >

It was a place where I could share my dirt bike adventures with people from all around the world. Over time, It became a place where could share more than adventures, but lessons I had picked up along the way as grew more and more fond of the dirt biking world. Every time I needed to repair something, I would research everything I could online and watch countless hours of videos learning how to fix the things I was so good at breaking.<\/p>\n\n<p>Eventually, my riding improved and I began to break fewer things (although damage is inevitable in this sport). This meant I could stop spending money on repairs and start spending money on upgrades. Like buying a new set of boots or a shiny new helmet.<\/p>\n\n<p>These purchases came with a ton of research. I knew if I was going to be spending that much money, I wanted to be damn sure that I was going to be happy with my purchases for many years to come. I figured other riders would be in the same position as me so I began to document and share all my research right here on First Checkpoint. To date, I&#8217;ve created hundreds of comparison guides with all the information I&#8217;d consider important for myself and other riders in the same situation. <\/p>\n\n<p>As the First Checkpoint reader base began to grow, riders around the world began to ask questions I didn&#8217;t have the answers to. It was at that point I knew I needed to bring on a more experienced team to cover the topics I had not yet quite come to grips with. <\/p>\n\n<p>Meet the guys..<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><style>.kb-row-layout-id_f9d80c-f9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_f9d80c-f9 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >
