12. “And then when I ran over a turtle, on a dirt bike.” - The turtle was in the desert - Jessica Reveal recalls a ride with her Uncle - BMX and MTB legend Harry Leary. 

Jessica shares that her and Harry Leary went to Lucerne Valley, CA - to go on a really long dirt bike ride. Harry was taking her on a “stupid route” to test her skills on - Jess shares that she is “better than he.” 

While riding, they find a desert tortoise out of nowhere. On TikTok, Jess has a show called “Critter Catchin.” She explains that catchin critters is “so much fun.”
