An Arizona teen was arrested after a daring dirt bike jump. Now, his family is saying it's just, "kids being kids."

Choosing to take on a daring dirt bike jump is a bold decision. It's a choice I'm certain I will never have to make. It's too risky! Too much could go wrong! I don't want to break every bone in my body. 18-year-old Samuel Campbell feels differently. The Arizona teen is a bit of a dare devil it seems like. According to USA Today, Campbell was arrested after a dirt bike jump over a roadway. In the viral video, he is seen riding his pink dirt bike up a grassy hill and launching off the hill like a ramp going over the 2 lanes of the road landing on the other side. He completed it! But now he's in trouble. See the viral video here.

Video of Campbell's stunt got more than 1.9M views on Instagram. He was arrested and his next pre-trial conference is set for January 7th, per USA Today.

His family thinks that law enforcement is trying to make an example of Samuel. Law enforcement insists that this isn't just some cool trick and that it's actually very dangerous not only for him but for others on the road as well. I get both points. Hopefully they don't go too hard on him.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
