Another fun ride with my girl

9/22/2012 8:07 PM

For her and my brother at least! I jacked my knee up, so I had to sit this one out, but we went out to the track anyway. My little girl had never ridden this one before and you could tell she was a bit intimidated - theres lots of steep elevation changes. But she did really well, and had fun, like she always does.

A few shots of Ali:







And a few of my brother Jake, gettin loose:











I played photographer this time around. Whattya think, GuyB? I'll give ya a run for your money?

Hope you guys enjoyed the pics.

Looks like a fun practice area/track.

I'm okay with a challenge.

Tip o' the day (and one that all photographers struggle with). Watch your backgrounds (and foregrounds). Then figure out where the action is. Keeping your photos distraction-free so the subject stands out more is always a good thing.

Yeah, I am the most amature photographer you will ever meet, so I was just having some fun with the point n shoot camera.

Thanks for the comment, GuyB.

I have the same xr80. Mines a 95 how about yours? They are the best bike to teach people the clutch. Great thread by the way.

Very cool. Looks like fun for sure.

Its actually an XR70, and its a 99. No clutch, but she LOVES riding it. I will be getting her a 65 next year, if all goes well.

Thanks for the comments, everyone - anytime riding with my daughter is time well spent!

Damn hard to tell on the phone. Still a great bike for learning on. She is having fun that's what counts.
