Don't watch this video (grandparents!) if you don't want to see your grandson's first crash...
When he was five, he actually rode it but it still made him nervous. Over the last month, he has finally gotten comfortable on it. So much so, that he actually managed to throw himself off of it because he loves going fast. Don't worry, he was wearing a helmet and he was in a grassy field.
Daniel has a love for dirt bikes and that love is quickly transferring to our boys. He has been taking Jack to a TKO race in the woods each fall, and also showing them YouTube videos of dirt bikes and also trials bikes.
Jack getting a little too comfortable with going fast on the dirt bike.
Jack has been talking about getting a trials bike for awhile, and Isaac has been telling us that when he was three he would be big enough to ride a motorcycle. So last week, thanks to Craigslist, Daniel made those dreams come true.
He bought a 12" Trials Bike, which is really perfect for Isaac and Jack ride it too, even though he is about too big for it. Daniel likes this bike for the kids because he can control how fast the boys ride it. For Isaac he can turn the regulator way down for Isaac so that it is almost a crawl. This allowed Isaac to get comfortable balancing on the bike before Daniel turned it up to allow him to go fast enough to put his feet on the pegs. Surprisingly, he did it!
For Jack, Daniel adjusts it to go much faster. Jack can manage to stand on the pegs and whip around the park on it, no problem. He has already asked about trying to climb over logs and learn tricks. On thing at a time, little one!
Daniel did let him make a small pile of branches to ride across, we were surprised when Isaac headed for it. He has just turned three and is already determined to ride over an obstacle!
If you missed it, or want to see more videos, here are some other firsts Isaac has had recently:
