for Nationals,

and one of the pros just

dropped out of the pro tour,

and whoever wins this year

gets that spot.

Wow.

You have big dreams.

Yeah. Don't you?

Uh, I guess I'm already

living my dream.

I wasn't born here,

but... I love it here.

[Scoffs]

Is that funny?

I-- I never thought of

this place that way.

You know, all I've ever wanted

to do is get out of here.

I really hope you get

what you're searching for.

Thanks.

- Wow. That looks powerful.

- Yeah, it is.

Can't wait to take it

on the track, go freestyle.

What does that mean,

"freestyle"?

It's when you're riding for fun.

You know, you're not racing.

It's-- It's when you're

just hanging in the air,

and you're looking

down on the world,

and life is good.

It only lasts

for a few seconds,

but it's almost

as if time just stops...

and no worries, you know,

no one can touch you.

Will you show me

motocross?

So this is

the starting gate,

and here you line up with about

to just psych each other out.

It's pretty crazy.

And then, uh,

the 30-second board

goes up.

Your heart is thumping,

and... it feels like

it's going to pump right

out of your chest.

And then you stare

down at the gate.

It feels like forever

waiting for it to drop.

But by that point,

I mean, I just--

I just block

everything else out,

just focus on that win.

But, uh, here,

uh, step on that.

- [Motors Roaring]

- [Laughing]

When that happens,

everybody here,

they just explode

out of here,

and they all try to be

the very first one to that

first turn right over there.

That's called the holeshot.

It looks scary.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, well,

it's-- it's probably

the most dangerous part.

I mean, there's dirt and rocks

flying up at you everywhere,

and there's just guys crashing

all over the place.

But if you get the holeshot,

you're in the lead.

You set the pace of the race.

Everybody else

just plays catch-up.

So if you get

the holeshot, you win?

Nah, it's just

the beginning.

See that over there?

That deep rut?

Oh, you want

to avoid that.

Yes and no.

See, it can snap your bike,

or your leg.

Oh!

But you know,

if you can tackle it,

if you can just own it,

then you can fire out of there

like a rocket.

It can make or break a race.

That's sort of where

my problem is.

But the deeper

the rut you get in--

The faster you shoot out.

It's very exciting.

I mean, the way you tell it.

It wasn't

what I expected.

Yeah, me neither.

It gets really intense.

They're rough.

I mean, imagine having a bunch

of bikes driving right next

to you, slamming into you.

Oh, my God. You're crazy.

You know what? You've just

got to come to a race.

[Chattering In Spanish]

[Spanish]

Alejandra.

Papi.

Hija.

Tell me about him.

I want to like this one.

Even more so, I want you

to like this one.

Looks dumb-ass.

Hey.

Pirate.

Bails, you're not helping.

You can always

shave your head.

You're really

not helping me.

Try being yourself.

[Clicks Tongue]

[Chuckling]

[Motor Off]

Wow.

[Man Singing In Spanish,

Faint]

Hey.

[Mutters]

You must be Cale.

Yes. Hi, Mrs. Lopez.

Please, call me Carmen.

Okay.

Now, you wait right here,

and I will get Alejandra.

Okay. Great.

Good evening.

Hi.

I am Angel Lopez.

Oh, nice to meet you.

Alejandra has told me

how hard you work to

provide for your family.

I try.

And you will own this

pizza store one day?

No, I-- I race motocross.

I-- I have seen,

and it is dangerous,

right?

Yeah, sometimes people

get hurt, but--

Badly.

[Speaking Spanish]

Hey!

Hey.

I'm so glad you came.

Um, have you met

my family yet?

Yeah.

Yeah, we met.

Good. Oh, come on.

I'm gonna show you the house.

Okay.

[Man Singing In Spanish

Continues]

[Exhales]

[Chattering]

Oh, don't be scared

of my dad.

He's just

a little protective

of his daughter.

He seems to have done

very well for himself.

He worked his way up

from a cook...

to the owner of

the first Rancho Bonita.

The proudest day of his life

was when he became

a U.S. citizen.

He worked nine years...

before he could

send for us.

I was four when he left.

Wow.

Oh, come on.

You'll have to forgive me.

I've never danced to

this kind of music before.

This is easy.

Okay, let me teach you

how to dance the Banda.

[Bells Jingle]

[Engine Starts]

- Hey. Who's your boyfriend?

- Aren't you gonna kiss him?

Don't you come back,

or I'll tell Papi what I

found under your beds.

Sorry.

So, what did you find

under their beds?

You don't want to know.

[Chuckling]

[Horn Honks]

[Crashing]

[Sustained Horn Honking]

[Chattering]

There's a lady in there!

Are you okay?

You all right?

[Woman On P.A.]

Dr. Ford, telephone call,

line one. Dr. Ford, line one.

[Woman] How's that?

[Man]

A bit better.

Mr. Bryant?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Dr. Miles.

[Woman On P.A.]

Dr. Shannon, report to X-Ray.

Dr. Shannon, report to X-Ray.

- Can we talk to her?

- Oh, go right ahead.

She might be

a little groggy.

Okay.

Hey, Mom.

Hey, Mom? Mom.

[Quiet Groan]

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, sweetheart.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

[Chuckles]

Mama's gonna be fine.

[Bailey] Good.

Mr. Bryant, can I

talk to you?

Hey. Come here, sweetie.

Sit up here.

First of all,

your mother's

gonna be fine.

I'd just like to keep her

overnight just to be safe.

Do you get to

go home tonight?

I hope so.

You know your insurance

isn't gonna pay

for all this.

You should talk

to the administrator

before you leave.

[Bailey]

With the extra bedding?

I know you like that one.

I hope so.

Thanks.

We'll take her home

tonight.

[Bailey Chattering]

Mommy's gonna

be okay, right?

Hey.

Mommy's gonna be fine.

Okay?

We just-- We just

have to be quiet.

She's gonna have a headache

for a few days.

Like, we'll make

a game out of it.

Okay.

Okay.

I love you, Cale.

I love you too.

Everything's

gonna be okay.

You'll never leave us, right?

Hey. Hey, no.

Never.

Okay?

You've done

a good job, Cale.

It's not really

race-worthy though.

I can't give you much.

I know.

I-- I needed a few more things

to keep working on it.

You sure about this?

Just... tell me how much

you can give me for it.

Hey.

Hey.

I-I heard about your mom.

I'm really sorry.

She's gonna be fine.

She just is gonna be

laid up for a bit.

You didn't have to

come down here.

You could have

just called.

I wanted to see you.

Cale.

I'm really sorry.

But, Crys--

Alex.

Alex!

Alex, this is--

[Sighs]

I-- I didn't know.

I--

Sorry.

Hey, guys.

No pizza boy today?

Where the hell are you, bro?

Cale, honey?

Mom?

Mom, what is this?

You said you never

heard from Dad again.

I didn't.

He sent a letter.

And-- And money.

The check would

have bounced, Cale.

How do you know that?

Mom, that's $1,500!

I-- I just sold my new bike

to pay your medical.

I should have gotten rid

of this years ago.

You said he didn't

care about us.

I would rather starve

than take money from a man

who left his family.

Great, Mom, but
