It's only like 12-13 ft but I have plans to open it up a little bit seeing how he overshot it by about 4 feet on his first few attempts.I am still a rookie track builder :p

After adjusting a little he was downsiding it better.

Lookin good Austin!


Jason, there is only 1 double at breezewood now, the one coming out of the corner which he should have no issues with now!

My boss loaned me his huge Case tractor for the week so I found all kinds of stuff that needed gone over.........the turns included :)

After about 45 minutes of non stop hammering he seemed pleased with everything.

I had full intentions of working on the doubles with him Memorial weekend up there but we had to leave too soon.He was a little nervous about hitting this one at first but I told him it was all in his head.If you can clear a 30ft table you can easily take this double and it was on :cool:

That kid is adorable. I hope my daughter will get into that. Could I ask at what age did he start riding. Pappy you could also chime in on what age Cody was. Hopefully this won't hijack your thread.

Thanks

Cody was around 7 on a LT80. Austin is 7 now and is way more advanced then cody ever dared to be at that age! Having a place to ride and a father willing to teach is a huge advantage!!! Jason is bringing Austin along and Austin responds well to being taught. Sure makes for some great family fun!

Thanks for the compliments Tim and Kenny.Austin started riding at 5 1/2 years old.He has ridden aggresive since day one.I am happy with where he is at this point in his riding.I really enjoy working on his quad and working with him on his riding.It has really brought our family together.

That young man has some skills. :devil: I think starting them out early like that really helps them develope thier skills. Those are some nice little back yard jumps too. Makes me want to break out the shovel today myself. My kids could use something new to play on anyways. I wish my boy was that agressive when he rides. Ah well... at least his sister is. :devil:

I forgot to ask... do you happen to know the rough dimensions on the little table top in the 4th pic? Looks like it would be a perfect beginner jump.

The tabletop measures 25ft from the lip to the start of the landing.

Austin is an awesome little racer:macho

I have ridden with him on many accounts and he is very quick:p

I didn't have half the nads this kid does when I was that young...I didn't start riding agressively or fast until about two years ago!!!

Keep up the excellent work and progress and see you all at Breezewood:D

Here is a pic to give you a general idea of the layout.There is a little more that you can't see in the pic but you get the idea.

Hey Austin!!!!!!!!!!!!

I blew up my 125 motor so I think we are putting our stock 90 motor in the chassis and letting Ryan race with you:devil:

Also Ryan is getting really quick on his bike:)

Jason...I think that Austin would do excellent at one of Breezewood's pitbike races. Also, he would have a blast!!!!:cool:

I think that the next race is August 13. We hope to see you there.:)

BTW.....Nice track:macho

Cody,glad you guys are coming up.Austin has been wanting to ride with you and Ryan again.Sounds like Ryan is stepping it up on his KTM :macho .I had to pull some strings to get this weekend off work so we are looking forward to it.
Speaking of work....I better get back to it so I don't get fired :eek:
