The 14-year-old from Rhome has these tasks written on a piece of paper and taped to his bedroom door, serving as constant reminders of his goal - winning his next race.
Dillon isn't alone in his passion for off-road cross country biking competitions. His father, Randy, mother, Connie, and brother, Dalton, 16, also join him, forming the 4 G's Racing team. Through their cooperative efforts, the family has filled a garage with bikes and gear and a room in their house with trophies and medals.
"Basically, the boys have been on bikes since they were 4," Connie said.
But Dillon and Dalton's love of biking came naturally. Randy started his career as a teenager in the northwest and eventually raced as a professional in Europe.
"We joked that we would give the boys a golf club," Connie said with a smile, saying that they rarely talked about Randy's career as a professional when the boys were young. "But I guess it's born in you. When Dalton was 4, he begged to ride."
Connie and Randy kept Randy's multiple trophies out of sight as the boys were growing up.
"We exposed them to it little by little," Randy said.
Dalton and Dillon both began riding at 4, then started racing in motocross events at 7 or 8, Connie said.
Along with racing, Randy and Connie exposed the boys to other sports. They particularly enjoyed baseball, with evidence of their years playing in baseball leagues hanging on the wall in the form of plaques and cleats.
"It became evident that (racing) is what they wanted to do," Randy said.
As the boys grew, the dedication to racing increased, for the whole family. Connie accompanied the boys and Randy to practices and races and eventually tired of her limited involvement.
"On the ride home, they would talk about the race, and I would just sit there," Connie said, adding that she wanted to be a part of the conversation. "There is a huge contingency of women who ride. It's very competitive and some are ultra fast. It's a lot of moms."
Now, the family works around a tight schedule of working out, practicing, cleaning and repairing gear and bikes and traveling to competitions on the weekends. Each team member has specific jobs to complete prior to the next competition - Dillon washes the gear, Dalton washes the bikes, Connie cleans the trailer and Randy does all maintenance on the bikes.
"Mom's our cook/rider/mom," said Dillon.
The chores aren't Dillon and Dalton's favorite part of the preparation, but the promise of racing again helps them work through the tedium.
"There's always something to work for," Dalton said, adding that weekend races drive him to do the things he doesn't want to do, such as cleaning bikes.
While racing requires a lot of time, Randy and Connie also stress the importance of excelling at school. Dalton and Dillon, both students at Northwest High School, must be named to the A/B honor roll in order to continue racing at their current level.
While racing has allowed for a foundation on which to build their family relationship, it has also fostered friendships in the racing world. The Greens see the same families at the weekend races, people they now consider part of their racing family.
"It's such a family sport," Connie said. "You hang out and barbecue. It's a great environment, and we see each other every other weekend."
The family recognizes the threat of injury that comes with racing bikes and have never ignored it. In fact, the family had a recent scare at a practice in which Dalton suffered a head injury while demonstrating a jump for his mother. He was thrown over his handlebars and knocked unconscious.
Dalton was flown to JPS for observation and suffered what Randy called a "boxer's knockout." While not as serious as a concussion, Dalton spent the night in the hospital.
"He woke up the next morning, and his first question was if the bike was OK, and his next question was when he could race again," Randy said. "It was never a question.
"(Injury) is something we recognize as a potential. They understand that they can get hurt."
Armed with that understanding and the passion for racing, the family is back on the track.
"It's odd how (racing) came about. We swore when Randy retired that we'd never do this, but it's made our family closer," Connie said. "We ask them every year if they want to keep doing this."
The boys return every season and will soon be faced with the decision of becoming professionals.
"If it works out, that's great. If it doesn't, that's fine as well as long as they are healthy, safe and have great memories," Randy said. "We're working to have something to do as a family. We all have a shared interest."
