There seems to be more and more footage these days of young rippers tearing it up. Brian Deegan's kid(s), the kid jumping the mega ramp at woodward, the kid doing that gigantic triple, Jackson Goldstone...
So I stumbled upon this kid on a PW and it made me think, let's get a thread together to show off your kid's skills. You spend all this time and money on them, why not show off how proud they make you?! Whether it's a trophy for participation, or some footage of them jumping a monster truck, every kid deserves some time in the limelight, so let's see what they can do!
(Hopefully that worked, my iPad doesn't like it when I try to embed videos...)

Interesting observation,
My son who was more into racing spent more time on 2 strokes when he was young then eventually wound up on a 4 stroke.
My daughter who was more into trail riding spent more time on 4 strokes when she was young and eventually wound up on a 2 stroke.
Since we're on the subject, at what point does the Mom and Pop bike sponsorship end ? I want to keep riding with them, and they love to ride, but they're in their 20's now and in theory should be on their own, but there's no way they can afford a new bike, or even to maintain and repair the bikes they have, so for now I'm still sponsoring their riding 100%. I know for a fact if I don't keep and maintain their bikes they will fade away from the sport due to the costs. My daughter is on a 93 CR250 with steel sprockets and an o-ring chain, the thing runs for years with next to no maintenance and is as reliable as a clock, so that one is very cheap to keep and maintain. My sons 250f on the other hand.... Lets just say his next bike will be a $2,500' YZ250, that's where the sponsorship has to end. This industry needs cheap entry level bikes for the new generation (but that's a whole nuther subject) Ok back to the kids, sorry to wonder off topic a little
Considering we do this at least a couple times a month, it's expensive as hell. But I love spending time with them and having some fun. It's only money I guess but I would like to lessen the burden some.
