I think this book is good. I love dirt bikes and I'm not a big reader, as a mater of fact I don't read at all. If this book got me reading it must be a good book. I recomend this bood to anyone who likes dirt bikes and hope to read more.

Skill and luck, at least that's what Ron thinks. Dirt Bike Racer is about a kid named Ron who finds a mini bike at the bottom of a lake while scuba diving. He wants to replace all the parts, but he doesn't have any money. He gets a job working for Mr. Perkins. He finds out Mr. Perkins use to race. Ron finally makes it to a race, but wrecks. I think the theme of this book is sports. The author of this book is Matt Christopher and he always writes about sports. What inspired him to write books, was a piece, someone wrote in high school wrote. It inspired him because he wished he could write like that some day. Matt Christopher has written many books some of them are Peach Street, The Extreme Team, and Soccer Cats. A quote he has gone by is "Good judgment comes from experience, experience comes from bad judgment." I think the quote is good because when you do something bad you learn from it. I recommend this book because it's a good and exciting book.

I would recommend this book for anyone in to dirt bikes because its tell about the struggle to be a Dirt Bike Racer. This is an exciting story. "The bike almost left me sitting there on the dirt as it sprang under me like a live animal." Also, this book has many more exciting parts such as, " Terror gripped me as both came up on it, side by side. Then, fearing that we'd collide while making the turn." These are just a few of the exciting parts of the book Dirt Bike Racer. In conclusion, if you are interested in dirt bikes or exciting books, read the exciting book Dirt Bike Racer.

One of the books I read from the author Matt Christopher is called Dirt Bike Racer. The book began at Ron's house. One day he went scuba diving and he saw a dirt bike. Then two weeks later he went back to see if it was still there. Then Matt took it with him home and his dad helped him fix it.

In the middle of the story they heard something in Ron's garage. The neighbor saw it, too, and he called the cops. They were in the garage and they found screws on the floor from the dirt bike. The thief was going to steal parts of the dirt bike.

I like this story because I like to ride dirt bikes. You can go off ramps and to do flips and back flips. This author, Matt Christopher, seems to like sports just like me such as football, baseball and dirt biking. It was exciting for Ron to find a dirt bike in the ocean. If you read this book you would like

it as much as I did!

I enjoyed this book because the Author did a great job in writing it. It was hard for me to put the book down. I would recommend it to anyone who likes dirt bikes such as I do.

I recommend this book to anyone that likes sports and has a tough time reading. They will really enjoy this book. This book is a good book because the words are descriptive and it's easy to comprehend, and the details that the author has given us in the book make us feel that we're the character. "The bike bucked and bounced, and a couple of times it skidded to the side to much that I almost lost my balance and fell. But I managed to keep it upright, using my feet to balance it when I felt it leaning over too far." Another great thing about this book is how there are a couple of pictures and that makes me visualize where the character is in the book. One of the pictures shows Ron on his dirt bike and he's in the air after jumping the ramp, Ron said " You're not going to stop me, no matter what you do!" If you like sports and you have a tough time reading, this is the book for you.

I liked how the author didn't have Ron (the major character) win first place in any of races since he was just a beginner. It made it more believable. I liked how Ron worked to earn the money to fix up his bike and paid all his racing expenses.

Once Ron finds a dirt bike at the bottom of a lake he can't believe his eyes. So, the next day he goes scuba diving to find it. But the bike will need some fixing. Ron is certain that his motorcross dream will come true. I think that Matt Christopher's style of writing is spectacular. I feel that his writing is very descriptive and detailed. When he writes he doesn't tell, he shows. So when he writes that the back wheel is spinning, he says, "It is spitting up dirt and rubble!" When Matt Christopher writes a beginning of a story he doesn't start with a dull beginning he starts with action usually destruction. In my book, he starts with a windstorm that blows some belongings away into the lake. I think that is how good writers write.

Dirt bike racer is about a teenage boy who was scuba diving one day with his friend and decides to dive deeper than he usually does, and on his way down he catches something out of the corner of his eye. It was a dirt bike! And from then on the fun began.

The coolest part of the book was when he actually started riding the bike. I couldn't believe how fast he got used to it. Usually it would take you awhile to get used to a new dirt bike, especially if you have never ridden dirt bikes before. But hey, it's a book.

I would recommend this book because it's a great story for guys, like me, who don't like reading. This is a great book for somebody who is actually interested in dirt bike books. There is plenty of action and some comedy. The book has some illustrations, but my favorite one was of a list of the parts he needed for the bike, since it was in the water for so long. All in all it was the best book I have read this year.

When Ron finds a dirt bike at the bottom of a lake, he cannot believe his luck. However, the bike needs fiking up and that takes money. This book is called "Dirt Bike Racer" by Matt Christopher. Ron needs to find out how to make some cash, so he can finally make his racing dream come true.

Ron finally found a job working for his neighbor and finds out something amazing. He used to be a great racer when he was younger! Ron was always curious about his racing days and always wanted to learn more. Little did he know that the job would lead him to the one person who can threaten his dream. throughout his working career with Mr. Perkins, Mr. Perkins' nephew Mark could not stand Ron. He felt as if he were trying to take his uncle away from him.

So what do you know, Mark secretly hires a racer to try and make Ron lose in the big race. Ron doesn't even know whats going on, he thinks that its just a good old fun race. Will Ron overcome Mark's nasty plan, or will he fall right into his little trap?
