MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Day 3 out on the bike. He was chomping at the bit to go to 'The Gallops' - a nice wide grassy slope.
Last time we came here he simply bombed down the fall line on his (brakeless) balance bike.
Seems to have picked up the concept of brake-turn quite well!
The finale is classic though - proper proud (and sligtly
scared) dad moment!
😀

DrP that was brilliant... well done to both of you
I almost feel bad at laughing, although your title did give me permission! If you cut the video a couple of seconds early he's doing really well.
Hahahaha excellent
Wooohooo! Excellent dismount at the end there.
He's a legend on the go - it's the stopping he struggles with!
He's quite petite for his age (Just turned 3) so can't actually put both feet down when stopping.
It's about 50:50 as to whether he comes to a controlled stop, or just topples...
On the street, I jog behind him and catch him when he's about to drop!

Brilliant riding for a 3yo, well done both of you. My boy was well past 4 before he got to that sort of level (although that was at least partly due to The Broken Arm Incident and subsequent aftermath).
Full edit 😀

Brilliant.
My nephew still had stabilizers at that age. His granny (my Mum) insisted he needed a proper bike as opposed to a balance bike.
I'll admit it, I chuckled.
I loved that. He just keeps peddling away lol
The fall at the end was a perfectly executed dismount.
I'd be incredibly proud if that was my child 🙂
That's a metaphor for my life.... ever-decreasing circles then a fall!
Top stuff!!
Chiffchaff calling in the background too....
I failed. A chuckle sprung forth..
big chuckle here 😀
I think the best bit was when you was scared and shouted "pull your brakes.......PLEASE" then he crashed in to the sign (i think)
he is doing a sterling job. well done JnrP
Superb Dr P! Better at riding than my two five-year olds. Excellent skills and I am very, very impressed. Good on you wee man!
Good stuff! 😀

Yeah - he slowed down, but not enough to avoid face planting the sign!

Love the no footers 😀
LOL - reminds me of my first ride on SPD's - it was all going so well 🙂
Oh and a +1 on the Harry Hill suggestion!
