No not me on the blade . Calm down !! lol My boy has been showing some tallent on our local BMX pump tracks 5 yr old on a tiny Specialized HotRock skinning 10 to 12 yr olds on 18" BMX's Orderd the smallest proper race BMX I could find which is being delivered tomorrow morning . We got all the kit already from his motocross bike which I bought a bit early as he is not strong enough to compete On it yet . BMX raving should be a good stepping stone to motocross and then you never know , maybe on to Tarmac in the future . So he has his first race in Bristol this Sunday . He can't wait but I'm a nervous wreck ha ha As they say , you have to start them young
Practise on a deserted track.. I could not believe there was no kids there .. Must have all been indoors on they're playstations
He is totally going to kick ass, and will be the best dressed, coolest kid there, I bet my boy's wish they had a dad half as good as you Dan
bloody excellent! got to encourage him keeping that up..... dont know whats wrong with these kids, i'd have been all over that as a nipper.
Cheers guys . Yeah he is enjoying it so far . If he wants to have a go at it then I gotta give every opportunity Just hope he don't want to try horse riding or something ha ha
What a great day !! Rain all the way to Bristol . No traffic so got there in an hour and 20 mins . It was still raining as we set up but as soon as the boys lined up for practise laps , the sun came out and we had a cracking day . Leigh and my mates boy both had Pro junior BMX's which i thought most kids would have , you can get specialist race bikes for this type of racing for 600 odd quid but i assumed there would be 1 or 2 kids on them coz they're parents either took it very seriously or just spoilt the kids . EVERY bloody kid there had 1 !! ha ha . The Wheels are twice the size and the front sprockets where twice the size so when our boys were peddling theyre harts out and not going fast , these specialist bikes were being tuned round the track with ease . So apart from our boys having the wrong kit they done very well . Completed all 4 races . Loved the starting gates , the racing , the mud , the wet . they thought it was great so we are gonna get them the right bikes and have a proper go at this years winter season . ( today was the last race of the clubs 2011 winter season ) All entries get a trophy so that will make the boys days . Some pics of leigh
