This says more about your 'quality' parenting, than the riders. Excellent stuff.

Ace.

My 8 year old gets his new bike tonight, am massively excited about it all, he knows nothing about it.

He was hitting drops last Saturday in a skills area, landing both wheels at the same time perfectly. Can't wait to see how he does on the new one.

Need to get their big sister involved next...and start getting them out a whole lot more!

Not quite at the stage yet when I can take them out with me... but probably not that long now ๐Ÿ™‚
