That cool right there JBB! I bought one for my 5 year old then took him to the local motocross park for his first ride. He did great. Video is below and just had to share.

i built this really nice big gap jump on our track, and i know Amber (my lady who rides with me) is just working up the courage till she can nail it. I know she can do it, but I'm still nervous as hell!!!

If I didn't have to worry about slamming on my brakes after the 1st gap before the height gap I would be a little less intimidated by it, I want to hit it but I'm afraid that the first go I will overshoot it to clear it, and wipe out trying to stop myself before the big one...

Building confidence is definitely the hard part, its also fear of injury, I can't compromise my lifestyle/work, etc for broken bones...as wimpy as that may sound, i'm not a big risk taker.

Johnny's track is becoming less intimidating the more I ride it, but you have to see it for yourself to understand exactly why I am afraid of a few of the jumps, hitting the first gap jump isn't my worry, its the big fugger a few meters after the landing that is holding me back I think lol. I know I can coast over the 1st gap, but then I gotta pile on the brakes as soon as I land because there ain't no way i'm hitting that one lol. But all in good time I suppose, i'm hitting half of the jumps so far so i'm getting better :)

True True It's always scary thinking you might get injured and be out for a month and also the fear of breaking the bike then having to sauce over the ched to get it fixed.

I've never broken a bone (knock on wood) and don't really care to find out how much it sucks. I've sprained the same ankle numerous times and now the last sprain has never quite healed as it's been months and i'm still in pain. and yeah, can't afford to be laid up :nono:
