My kids that ride are 15, 8 and 4. You will be pleased to know that I can beat all of them up the hill. The 15 year old is riding a Kona Stinky compared to my lightweight hardtail but a win is still a win :D
Down – 15 year old is faster, I haven’t ridden down a proper hill with the 8 year old since he got his full suss so I have no idea, 4 year old – no contest yet..!
But skills wise – the 8 year old will happily do what I call huge drops – like the ones at the bottom of the WC Downhill at Fort Bill whereas I wouldn’t.
The 4 year old has been able to jump better than me since he was 3 and can do wee drops with more skill than me :oops:
