Having a team makes it fun to come out here early though.

I've been riding for a very long time, since I was five. I came here when I was eight or nine. When I came here there were some older girls here, and I saw them practicing with these jackets on. I always wanted one. When I was nine, Mrs. Thomas asked me if I wanted to be alternate for the team.

It's pretty subjective, we're judged. There are many different things that are judged. From beginning to end, it's riddled with different things. It's very hard to achieve perfection. It's pretty involved. It's a lot harder than most people think.

We put in a lot of work to make this happen. Mrs. Thomas puts in lots of hours of work.

We're all so close to each other, so it's sad to know that it's over.

I'm way off my goal. I have to figure out what I need to do to get back. I didn't feel good at all.
