Why I Ride

Why I Ride

2021 USA / Duration: 2 mins
Directed by: Catherine Aeppel
Playing with Kidz Kino (Online Only)

Jenny Phillips is new to dirt biking. According to her, she “absolutely sucks.” She also says, “but I don’t care. I’m having fun, and that’s all that matters.” In this stunning desert-y film, Jenny proves that there’s no reason to be afraid of learning new things, developing new skills and most importantly, having fun. —Lilah Lerner, age 16
