Smoothride... INSPIRING to THINK. to ACT. to LOVE.
================================

Smoothride exisits to inspire these three things in all those willing to consider a life of meaning.

TO THINK... Smoothride would like you to challenge your thoughts and beliefs. Think beyond what the media feeds you.

TO ACT... Live your life! Stand up for what you believe in. Make things happen for yourself.

TO LOVE... We live in a beautiful world. With so much to be enjoyed, with so much that we can give to each other, it is a shame that so much destruction is in this world. Building ourselves socially, physically, intellectually, and in all realms is very important to Smoothride.
