About Me


i am jon, sometimes known as chin. all of you who know me, know me...those who don't...here's your chance...i'll get you started...i'm a total dork/idiot/call it what you want....either way you'll prolly look at some of the stuff i do and shake your head thinking "this guy's a dumbarse" or think i lack common sense. i have a different perspective on the world/life because of my "complicated backround". whether it be, being a fat kid throughout those years that you "find yourself"(high school)or having jesus christ and more ultimately god in my life. i've come to realize not to take life seriously, or let other peoples actions affect my mood...although at times i've done just that. i always return to that mindset of "tomarrow's uncertain", so if you offend me i'll let it go. if i get hurt, i'll shrug it off saying "i could leave here and die". i'll admit it, i have backsliding moments where i forget what god has done in my life and who i really am. much like the rest of my mindset, i'll always return to him...usually broken. i'm a terrible example of a christian and a perfect example of grace.

My Interests


I enjoy pushing myself, and constanly progressing. I also enjoy being on the road, it's amazing how the crappiest situations turn into the best stories.

I'd like to meet:

Other Riders, Evel Knievel, War Veterans, Spirit Filled brothers/sisters, My Future Wife, Anyone that doesn't play games or lie to my face

Music:


Any music is good....just depends on what mood you're in....but all-time favorite is OLD underOATH, and the best album ever written is - Saves The Day (Stay What You Are)

Movies:


Anything with Jim Carrey, Leslie Nielson, John Leguizamo, Eddie Murphy, Chris Farley, The Muppets, or Don Cheadle in it rules. I am a sucker for romantic movies, like The Princess Bride, The English Patient, Shakesphere in Love, Titanic, and so on. I love all movies especially Hitch, CB4, Belly, Gummo, the list goes on

Television:


anything if im bored, but mainly the simpsons. I do however hate infomercials with promises of wealth, a better body/clearer skin, and crappy products that no one needs

Books:


Every Young Man's Battle, Ride Of my Life-Mat Hoffman, Velvet Elvis, The Painted Bird, Saving Private Ryan, Bible, I Kissed Dating Goodbye, God Unplugged, Faith Fuel, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby(I kindof remember it, but i liked it at the time)

Heroes:


Jesus, family, HOFFMAN, DMC, tons of riders, all my friends, anyone with the courage/strength to stand up for what they believe

kill this fire inside me

I'm 21, i've been riding for a little over six years, and it has been an emotional rollercoaster...I've often times asked myself why i am so willing to endure this pain that riding brings me. I start ...
