ScootinAmerica: Inside My Helmet

by Adam Sandoval

Adam Sandoval and his dog, Scooter “Trash” began their odyssey in November of 2014 with only what they could carry on the back of a 1996 Harley Davidson. This epic journey will take them through all 48 lower states and to 696 Harley Davidson dealerships as they raise money for The American Legion Scholarship Fund. In November of 2015 they completed their first year while over a hundred thousand fans on social media followed along. This book is the story of that journey…along with a lot of the inside stories that he didn’t share online. Inside the Helmet will give you a glimpse into Adam’s head from the very beginning as he takes what so far has only been a dream and with a lot of work, shapes it into a reality. This book will give you a front row seat to the heart-wrenching emotions he goes through as he realizes his marriage is falling apart. You’ll be privy to his joys and his fears, and share in both his successes and his struggles. Inside the Helmet will take you down some of the most famous highways in America as well as the beautiful back roads. You’ll feel like you’re right there as Adam realizes his dream of riding his bike across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and through the middle of a giant redwood. You’ll experience the breathtaking views from the edge of the Grand Canyon and the top of a mountain in North Carolina. You’ll see America like you’ve never seen it before and Adam will introduce you to the kind and generous people that he meets along the way. Ride along with them and share in the heartbreak of meeting a mother who has lost her child to war…and the awe and respect of being saluted by a WWII Veteran. By the end of this book you won’t just be rooting for Adam and Scooter and all of the people who help them along the way, you’ll be rooting for America as a whole. Adam and Scooter will take the old saying, “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey,” to an entirely new level and you’ll be glad that you came along for the ride. "If you did not serve in your military, find time to serve those who did.”—Adam Sandoval

What happens when you take a prizefighter and set a mission for them? Meet Adam Sandoval and Scooter. This great American gave up everything and set out on a mission to raise money for military and their families. When I bought this book I thought I was going to read about Adam and his adventures. You will but it is much deeper than that, you will learn about the struggles of life and I could not help but let this book reflect on my own life. It is a powerful and uplifting read. I could not put it down as each chapter gave me new hope that there are good people out there all over this great land. Not all of us could give up everything and hit the open road. We all will agree that this would be wonderful to do this but normally we would only do it for awhile. Adam is doing a great duty for this country. If you ever see him riding down the road, wave, honk your horn or better yet if you get a chance shake his hand and say THANK YOU! But more than that, pick up this book even if you don't ride a motorcycle I am sure you will get something out of it to reflect on your day to day life.

I loved this book! I follow him and Scooter on Facebook and just love his passion for his mission and what he does for the Vets and for motorcycling in general. You can just tell he’s a really sweet guy with a big heart. I loved getting the back story on how it all started and how it changed him emotionally, etc. It was a great read and I couldn’t put it down. I hope he continues to write about his experiences.
