[Closed] Cracking skills for their age

Jesus wept, those boys are epic!

😯 😥

I'll never be that good

incredible..

😆

Yes, I have been put firmly in my place.

I was building ramps for my boys the other day. The youngest is 5 and is showing early tendencies of being a "roller" of obstacles rather than getting airborne. That's inherited from me I need to put a stop to it 😆

...although I prefer to call it "pumping" rather than rolling 😉

I need to stop mincing the trails 😳

Look. I've seen Captain America, so I know what's possible with CGI these days, ok?!

(Utterly marvellous, in truth 😀 )

That's brilliant - great riding - just think what they'll be capable of in 10 years time 🙂

What size wheels are those? I must get some and i'll be that good.

Nah, it'll be all girls and drugs by then 🙂

watch and weep (at how great she is 🙂

Kids on bikes rock. Science fact.

And they are uber metal. 8)

Just put my bike on eBay 😈

I saw this on FB and resisted. Tbh I'd be holding them back from doing certain aspects.

At somepoint one will make a mistake on a 4ft etc drop to flat.

They are too young. Sorry. Parents have a duty of responsibility. My son jumped 6 stairs. I stopped him from doing that again.

They are a lot safer doing that than tearing down the M6 at 80 mph strapped in the back of your car.

****ing hell hora, were you a 'emo' kid as a child? you are so bloody depressing and negative about everything, if its not to your taste

how do you think people become world class at stuff/sports? they practice from a very very early age

great to see kids riding like that, obviously an exceptional talent

I thought my 4yo was good on a bike because he's now getting up steepish hills by standing up 😳 Should get round to building a smaller jump for him, but then those kids are going off stuff much bigger than his big brother's! Having seen that I am going to get 7yo doing some drops though, as I'm sure he's capable (he loves going to the BMX track and skate park, but doesn't really get any air).

When my son's jumping 6 stairs I'll be finding somewhere with 7 for him to do.

This is one of my little lads at 3.5

Right....I've got 6 months 🙂

Funny, his twin brother is scared sh1t3less, he's got his balance, but he definitely wants to know Dad is behind him.

Those two little lads are proper dudes. For sure they jump better than me 🙂

Hey great skills. I just think its too much too soon.

Ask the same question of non-riding parents

(My lad was riding the nation Bmx track age 2). Bit of a diffetence between pump track/rolling and drops neh? 😉 😀

[quote=hora ]Ask the same question of non-riding parents

Why not ask them where MH370 is whilst you're at it - they might give a more useful answer to that question. Though I suppose some of them might be less paranoid than you (I speak as somebody who tends to keep wheels on the ground and have hurt myself when I don't).

It's alright for them, they have soft bones.

If I fall off everything snaps.

You must be a young'en!

Mine shatter 🙂

Best video I've seen in ages.
Such talented little boys, they'll go far.

How the **** do they get those little wheels going so fast???

My youngest is showing signs of this sort of irresponsible activity, turning 4 shortly. I'll point out he's got some work to do 🙂

They are too young. Sorry. Parents have a duty of responsibility.

My twins have some catching up to do! (4 1/2)

Off to ride Haldon blue tomorrow with them... 😉

Blimey - good skills. In fact some of those drops reminded me of this :-

from [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/how-to-attack-this ]this thread[/url]. Has he ridden that yet?

Brilliant!

Naysayers talk crap. Never patronise children, they will kick your ass.

Kids don't break anyway, they just bend.

Amazing. Not only getting more airtime than I get on a full suspension 4k bike, they actually do it with style and control.

But, I can't help but wish they had got full face helmets on, if such a thing exists for heads so small.
