Learning is always Limitless and so is in my Sport-Pravin Habib (BMX Rider)
Pravin Habib is very known BMX rider who represented our country internationally with his sport and talent. Knowing the background of Pravin he went miles to buy that sporty cycle and to learn it. I had a great talk with him on how riding BMX changed his life. He never knew to ride a cycle and it was miracle for him watching cycle, on how people used to paddle with two tyres and he had a crazy idea to learn and he began with his journey. When
I asked him how much time it took for him to learn riding BMX, he said that; learning is never ending in life even if I did performed everywhere I am still learning it , it never stops. Everyone has their own failure but in his case it was way different, he was always passionate about sports and he performed most of all sports but they all were not in favour of family and so was BMX. BMX cycles are always expensive and for him taking BM X was his goal, he did part time jobs and he invested all his earnings on buying a cycle and maintaining it. He was also frustrated as BMX is a superior sports but has not been valued that much in India. Whatever expenses he use to have all were spent on the cycle,that he never even got to eat or buy clothes with his money. And before he gets settled he used to ride a local cycle to learn all US tricks and the cycle was not able to lift the weight and so was Pravin frustrated. He wanted to leave his all dreams but then he thought that you all start from zero in your life and he already gave 4-5 years in learning it and he thought lets give many more years till he don’t do it.
He was always unique to many Indian BMX riders and so was his tricks which no one could perform. He had a goal to do something better in country. He wanted kids like him to learn BMX. He himself learnt it through a youtube channel or other media platforms but he wanted this sport to be highlighted in society. His work was known in many film industries and had successful deal with lot many big productions. When I asked him about how it feel to work with whole industry from Divine to Badshah to every known person he just said that its common people who decide the difference between big and small but when an artist meets artist , its always artist, its never big or small and that’s where we earn each others respect. When he took step to the world championship which was held in korea he saw many such talented people who he use to see while learning BMX and he felt it as dream going everywhere, eating with them and practicing with them everyday. All participants there were more interested to know that BMX is also in India and Mr.Pravin represented India and felt more proud. He was always unique with his talks too and it was quite impressive when he was working with Urban Monkey and he is manager today and he loves what he doing there. In his life many people urged him to leave BMX they said that it has no future, even few film industries he work with said him to ride BMX as fun but not as a life, he simply pointed himself and thought it was their thinking and that’s why they could never do it, he would put all his efforts to ride BMX for lifetime and he promised to bring as many medals for our country. Its his hard work that defined him today and so his work is known and is truly inspiration to every kid of India.
Try to think limitless and do limitless, nothing can stop you.
