Carey Hart

“I think most relationships should be based on some sort of friendship.”

“I'm pretty intimidating looking so I feel sorry for a little girl trying to bring boys home. Between my very headstrong wife and myself, I feel sorry if we have a girl.”

“We're very much homebodies. Especially in the whole whack scene of L.A.”

“I was fortunate in that my timing was good. Television was starting to cover our sport, and I was having success and it all came together.”

“Me and my wife are into 'Game of Thrones,' and she sucked me into 'Nashville' a little bit, but she'll watch 'Sons of Anarchy' in return.”

“What we're doing is serious. Probably the most brutal sport out there is football and they'll get the occasional broken bone or they'll tear a ligament here or there. I have friends in wheelchairs.”

“Jeff Ward and Ricky Johnson were my guys and that was something I wanted to do - race Supercross. And I did that all through my junior high and high school years. I didn't party or do anything too crazy. I was straight edge, because I was so serious about being an athlete.”

“In the beginning days, it was just about having fun with my dad on the weekends and riding dirt bikes with my buddies out in the hills. Probably around age 12 is when I knew that this is what I wanted to do for a living.”

“I asked permission to get a tattoo on my face and wifey shot me down.”

“We don't allow our kids to do the TV thing. I became a master sculptor with Playdoh.”

“When I started competing, supercross was big in Southern California. So for a guy from Las Vegas to make it, that was big. It's one of the things I'm most proud of, being from Las Vegas and making it in racing at the professional level.”

“I have very thick skin.”

“I was trying to keep 'Inked' more about the tattoo shop, and it slowly turned into a Carey Hart TV show and that's something I didn't want to do at the time.”

“I have a lot of history with Dew Tour, going back to the early days in the early 2000s. Back then it was a different title, but that's really where I did my first flip at, you know?”

“Every day we'd meet up after school. We'd ride until the sun went down.”

“I hate to use this word, but I was one of the pioneers who took this sport seriously. I saw it as an opportunity to express myself on the track, and I'm glad I did it.”

“For me, I look at it this way: Anything I can do to try and get more events out there, especially more high profile events in America for the riders, I'll go all-in.”

“It's great for the sport of motocross to have a performance vehicle brand like Dodge cross over into our world.”

“It was definitely difficult on a lot of different levels. Going from being an athlete where it's all about lifestyle and rock 'n roll and being on your own time to now having a structured business.”

“I have to focus on the future.”
