Kzoo Posted August 18, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 18, 2014 Since when is 19 miles considered a tour? The kid rode up a small bike ramp made with a 1by. What kid hasn't? Who helped you set your standards for prodigy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who helped you set your standards for prodigy? 19 miles at 5yrs old is a pretty good ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted August 18, 2014 It was a 19 mile mountainbike trail and he did it on that tiny little singlespeed. That jump shows how well he handles the bike...at 5 years old. Lots of kids don't even ride at that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have to add - that was not a jump. it was a manmade bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted August 18, 2014 There are plenty of adults that can't hold their line on a 2 x 6. Add to that the sketchy ass setup on those stacked 4 x 4's. He won't be 6 for quite a while too. Personally, I think this kid is amazing. That kid cracks me up. He rides down the trail better than some adult beginners I have taken out. Fear doesn't get the best of him, and he gets right back up after he smashes himself up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted August 18, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 18, 2014 There are plenty of adults that can't hold their line on a 2 x 6. 19 miles is quite an accomplishment for a 5-year old. I was probably 14 or 15 the first time I rode that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team scooter Posted August 18, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 18, 2014 Does my heart good to see a youngin' out riding a bike instead of sitting inside on a computer. And what red blooded American boy hasn't built a wooden ramp? And rode over it a 100 times until your front wheel fell off. Sending you flying over the handlebars like superman. Leaving a fat lip to brag about. Anyone?.......... Come On! I can't believe I'm the only one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr Posted August 18, 2014 Share #10 Posted August 18, 2014 My son loves to ride and wreck bikes. Mine, his , does not matter. He does not appreciate that he is riding a 1983 Cannondale ST300 or a 1992 Trek 8000 or a 2011 Trek 7.2FX. To him they are just bikes and he is just having fun, until he hits the ground and the blood begins to flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing how I was when I was young, my kids (to this day) aren't allowed to ride or drive anything I care for. We were never allowed to ride our parents bikes. I had one 20 inch bike that I rode and fixed throughout my childhood. It went through several rims tires chains seats forks handlebars, etc, etc, etc. However it was always the same frame. Though it was welded a few times. If I broke it, I knew I had to fix it if I wanted wheels to get around. Now I get upset if my one of my favorite bikes get a scratch. Go figure? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted August 18, 2014 His bike tour was 18 miles, 1000 ft of gain over singletrack terrain. On that tiny singlespeed. This is Doug on a teeter that he threw together. Excellent coordination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
