10/11/2022 8:08am There's no evidence to suggest that starting early and specialisation has a benefit over long term. If anything it can be a detriment to future success/enjoyment. At this stage terms like 'trainers' shouldn't even be in the vernacular . At 2 a push bike might do the job. "For most sports, there is no evidence that intense training and specialization before puberty are necessary to achieve elite status. Risks of early sports specialization include higher rates of injury, increased psychological stress, and quitting sports at a young age. Sports specialization occurs along a continuum." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3658407/

10/11/2022 8:02am Motocross is a great family sport and I think its great for teaching kids life skills that will help them be successful in their future endeavors. If you do end up getting into the sport just keep in mind in the end its just for fun and enjoy the family time while it last because you'll never know as they get older they might find other interest. Also don't be one of these parents that think there kid is going to be the next best thing and start ripping into them because they did not finish were you think they...

10/11/2022 7:16am We went from a stryder at 2 years old to a battery powered razor type dirt bike to a pw50 (5 years old) and on to a Sx50. I've been riding my whole life and dad did too. We managed a track for a number of years also. If I could give one piece of advise is to have FUN and do not push. Enjoy the time and make some wonderful memories. Coming from a moto family I just knew the day would come where we could ride together and battle bars like me and my dad. My son could...

10/11/2022 6:18am I got on a PW at 4, so I think that’s around a good age to start. Just take him riding, enjoy the time with your boy.

10/11/2022 6:12am I got my JR50 one week before my 4th birthday. I didn’t even know how to ride a bicycle yet. When we got the bike home I cranked it up and off I went. I loved dirt bikes so much I just knew what to do from watching my uncle.

10/11/2022 6:04am 2 year old? I'm affraid that is like 20 months too old. He should have had A-kit for PW50 for his first birthday if you are really into it. Full on titanium bling for PW50 for his second and 5 months vacation on Millsaps track this summer... Man, jokes aside, he is way too young. Give it atleast 2 more years before even thinking about posting this. It is very easy to get burnt out on the pathway you described.

10/11/2022 6:01am No doubt that’s what it’s all about I’m not going to pay thousands of dollars for a 2 year old to go through intense training that would cause a lot of stress…. Just trying to dip my toes in and see what kind of options are available near me for the kids wanting to race! Thanks !

10/11/2022 5:51am I would focus on the not shitting pants part first. Our 4 year old is just now getting into the Stacyc but even then, his attention span is very short.

10/11/2022 5:51am We are not trying to rush anything at all. Just was thinking come Christmas time (his birthday is not long after that) he will be 3 and I want him to start on something with power. he’s been on a balance bike since his 2nd birthday and rides one of the bigger power wheel fourwheelers around with us playing.
