He decided to start <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@2wheelfeels\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@2wheelfeels\">posting on TikTok as \u20182wheelfeels\u2019<\/a> the following year and has since seen substantial growth, garnering 2.8 million likes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cit\u2019s just a look at what it\u2019s like to have a family and ride,\u201d Whitt said. \u201cI think that\u2019s a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">As a father of a 12, 10 and 9-year-old, Whitt says there\u2019s nothing more important to him than his family, making it even more enjoyable for him when they get involved in helping him grow his platform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThey\u2019re my world,\u201d Whitt said. \u201cThey love bikes and they\u2019ve been learning and helping me around the house. My wife has brought me nothing but support. She actually helps me with a lot of the filming and she\u2019s involved in a lot of the videos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Every day, every ride, Whitt has gotten more comfortable showcasing what he and his family are all about. Of course, riding a motorcycle and creating content comes with its own risks, which is why Whitt wants people who are considering getting into this hobby to do so safely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cFor one, it\u2019s our life,\u201d Whitt said. \u201cYou don\u2019t have barriers, you don\u2019t have airbags, you don\u2019t have anything protecting you between you and any other obstacle on the road. You\u2019re also only on two wheels, so you have half the amount of grip, if not less, so it doesn\u2019t take much to cause injury.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">While Whitt has big dreams for the future, including opening a track here in west Texas for riders to have fun, he hopes families can enjoy what his family is providing online, one ride at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 KCBD.
