    Kids riding

    My son has been riding under my supervision for about 2 years now off and on. I have given him a good deal of pointers but my voice (as any parent knows) goes in 1 ear and out the other. He want to start racing soon and i was wondering if there were any local riding classes given for this.

    I think Ricky Orlando used to do a kids class. You can get hold of him at Rocky Mtn Kawi in Longmont.

    How old of kiddo and what kind of racing?

    Ricky O teaches kids MX racing also? Hmmm. That would be a great B-day gift.

    Do it in the Dirt:This course introduces the new rider to the knowledge and skills necessary to enjoy the off-road experience. Basic bike operation, cornering, jumping, sliding, body position and stopping are items covered. 3 hours of on bike instruction. Full riding gear recommended. Students provide bike.$150



    that would make a hell of a bday gift. might just look into it

    Cool, if you want to meet up with the kids sometime, my son wants to head out to IMI soon. He's a recent graduate off a P-dub also (he raced the last 2 supermoto's last year on it), now on his XR50.
    If you're up north we have a 50 track in our backyard that you'd be welcome to come over and ride.

    As long as he doesn't graduate from the BigE school of "How to eat a hay bail"!

    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
