Those wacky Euro's   ;)

 .... point of discussion - Is there a moral dilemma letting a kid as young as the first boy  learning those tricks? The learning curve for some of those tricks has to be pretty steep.

Since it's Friday, perhaps a decent cover of some Hank Williams is in order ....



These people have taught me more about riding than any day spent on a track: Larry B, Tony K, Vince J, Mr. Wonderful, V2Neal, Marty F, Kevin B, Devon W, Ehrich, Mike A, John L, Arnell, Kirk, Ray C

Track days are like climbing the rock wall at REI.
Perhaps I need to stop taking the high road.

Moral dilemma i think is pretty strongly stated. Irresponsible, maybe, but I don't think it's any more reckless than youth motocross. My boys are 7 and 5, and if it were up to me they would be riding already. Sure, learning trials might generate more bumps and bruises. But I have a hard time believing learning the skills of trials riding includes boulder jumps on day 5, for example.
