Growing up in the shadows of the RedBud racetrack, the Wagners' destiny was set at a young age. Their grandparents were the creators of what is now one of the biggest Motocross events in the country.

Every July they come to their home track, put on the pads and helmets, gas up their bikes and hit the dirt. While other kids their ages are just learning to ride their first bicycles, these siblings are roaring down the track and flying through the air.

"I think it's really challenging to get past all the guys and all that. And it's fun to ride and just have fun. I like to ride with all my friends." says Jacob.

"It's fun to beat the boys, haha. Sometimes I hurt myself. I get back up and keep going." says Sydney.

Both of them say they'll ride forever.
