He just turned 9 and I got him a ttr50. He's a little big for it but I like that there's less power and my daughter will have it after he upgrades. It's really amazing how quick kids learn. They have no fear and surprisingly, he did most everything I told him to do. He probably ate dirt 30 times in 4 hours and would kick the bike off of him and keep going. Anyway, thought I'd share the future generation of our sport .
That's great to see youngsters riding. He'll only get better as time rolls on. Taking dirt samples is part of learning how to ride. That's cool that your daughter will ride that bike when he grows out of it.
I'll just add that sand looking dirt is ok for falling in ... That guy could ride and learn and be somewhat safe a long time there ... All the other riding stuff he'll learn will just sort of take care of itself And good luck to your son with his bike riding.
Jersey Woods, Juicypips- it really is a perfect time for him to start riding. Old enough to grasp what I'm saying but still young enough to fall like a rubber chicken lol. My daughter is really excited, mostly because she wants to beat her big brother Ray_Ray-the best park shut down about 6 months ago but this ones the next best. This area is the parking lot when we race there. The nerve racking part was all around it is a minimum 10 foot drop off. I ran around and had him follow me and then he had a nice loop and knew where he could go. He got board quick and it was off to the MX track. I finally understood the fear his mother always has when they do crazy stuff lol. This place is only about 15-20 minutes from the house as well as a better MX track down the street so I'm definitely lucky. Motosportz, Robertaccio- whatever lol. Loaded them from my phone and it doesn't auto rotate like FB. My avatar is sideways too lol
Great sport to teach a kid. My 4yo grandson just learned to use the throttle today. We put a throttle stop in the throttle housing. He's going slow on his very powerful Suzuki jr 50. Just kidding he goes very slow for now. On his first crash he gets up and says human 0 dirtbike 1. We have no clue where he got that from. Kids are a lot of fun. I got my second chance to ride with another new family rider.
