Maddox was going to trap himself in his head forever if I didn’t do something about it.
I think one of the reasons why Maddox tries not to think is because he's often plagued by overthinking - and that scares him because he can't afford to be that person where they live - he admires Devon because he makes the thinking look easy and Maddox is a nervous wreck. That's part of what's beyond motocross and working 20 hour days - it stops him from being stuck in his head.
