If you're looking for a dose of inspiration, meet this 6-year-old BMX rider.
Ellie Carey won the BMX world title for her age group.
She started riding when she was 2 on a Strider, a brand of bike without pedals.
"Every day, she would ask for a faster bike with pedals," Ellie's mom said.

"In ballet, you don't really get anything, but in BMX, you get like a trophy," Ellie said.
Ellie has reached 22 miles per hour on her bike. And with speeds like that, she's says she's ready to keep winning.
"When it's a race, I want to win the race or just try again," Ellie said.
