Why do we as people think we know best for other people? I'm sure i'm gulty of judging others as well, but it's not my place. Just let them do what they want.
This kid has a better chance now to make more money from 9-16 than he ever could from 16-24 racing professionally. But I doubt they're in it for the money. They kid seems to love to do it. Just like Pro riders, love to race for free.
Kid just risked his ability to walk for NOTHING except you tube views. I hope freestyle is his dream because if I was a race team manager I would have no interest in this kid or his family.

Everyone said that kid has balls, I say no he doesn't, he's just a kid who has no idea what could happen if he misses a shift hitting that ramp.
Its like Bob Hannah said, " I hope Travis Pastrana has enough money in the bank to take care of him once he's fifty and can't get off the couch."
Laws and regulations are in place because many parents that shouldn't be allowed to reproduce [let alone raise a child] are reproducing like rabbits.
I really could give a flying fuk if the kid dies but apparently some people do.
If you have access to it I highly suggest watching Revolution Day, it was a one hour program documenting the two bmx guys and their journey to the quad flip. It really gives an insite into what these guys go through and how far they push themselves in order to keep elevating their sport, very eye opening and it might change your outlook on other action sports.
What laws are those ? If Theyll let the welfare recipient have 10 kids so why do you think the government cares about this kid that has a motorcycle and parents that spend time with him? They don't Care. Just like they don't Care about the idiots that reproduce. But people will be the first to scream abuse when they see this kid jumping a motorcycle with his parents support.
But when the same people see a 10 year old in the hood illegally doing wheelies down the street(with peer support--no parents anyway) the same people say they're just kids trying to ride a dirtbike.

Denying doesn't make it go away
while the new trick may take absolute committment and plenty of courage i will never equate that with a championship, sorry but no.
Why I am really a fan of riders like Guy Cooper (or the French Olivier Nitard) is that they managed to go fast, being top 10 national riders, while whiping pretty much everywhere with 1 hand on the helmet looking at the crowd. I am really a big fan of speed & style, or freeride that uses natural obtacles. FMX in arenas for me is stunt.
I am even sure there are marketing op. for top 8 - top 15 riders, 1 nac nac per lap or so would give them 10k sponsorship at the end of races (i.e. $ per tv time). So some riders could almost double their earnings pretty easily, a little can can and candy bar here and there once the position is relatively settled, let us say after 5 laps, and over a season they get thousands more fans on facebook & twitter.
This kid actually raced his whole life until a couple years ago and simply has the means to do these jumps because his parents want him to follow his dreams, his dad built him a replica track of the 2012 Australian Juniour Nationals on their property because at the time it was his goal to do well there, this is simply a case of parents working hard at his dream.
A lot of you need to realise he didn't just go and huck this big a jump out of no where, his been jumping his whole life constantly building it up and up so in reality his probably a safer jumper than any of us on here. His well aware of what his doing and what can go wrong, besides a 10 year old is generally scared shitless of doing something like this they're not just dumb and go for it, he did it because he knew he could. Don't you remember seeing parents at the track yelling at their 60 or 80 kids for not jumping this and that?
Every kid I knew did it.
No......my Dad taught me how to do stuff and use my head then he let me go out and experience life. So why is no one gripping about kids stomping around in the woods with guns hunting or out in a boat at 10 or 12 years old fishing?
It's a normal happenings around these parts where I live but the only difference when a kid dies doing other than mx hobbies it's an accident. So is mx.......just accidents. Not child abuse !!!!
Geeeeeze.

There is so much that could have gone wrong with that jump
