Took my son out to a track that myself and a friend of mine made some time ago. I like to take him here because it's rough and simulates a track environment. The bike is performing very well as you can see in the vid. My son is riding good for his age (7) but I really would like to see a bigger more experienced kid put it to the test :devil: . We had to end the day because the clutches were slipping too bad (Thanx to me). More vids to come when new clutches are in the bike :cool: .

He looks good on that thing!! If you can slow the rebound down on the rear shock, it's bouncing him around a little.

Thanx! As bouncy as it is now, it was much worse with the stock shocks. These aren't comp/rebound adjustable Elkas. He said he loves the way the bike rides now compared to the stock setup.

Funny that you would say that. Bubbas compound is only about 4 miles from our house. And when people in the community see him ride that's who they compare him to. We'll see how good he is when he starts racing this January. Thanx for the props guys.

thats cool.... only 4 miles, dang.... that is awsome.. Bubba aways rides like he is made out of rubber... the bike is just giving him hell, but he seems to hold on and ride the crap out of it.... so the quad bouncing around will prolly just make him better...lol

Nice vids and pics Rob,once your kid gets used to the extra power and gets moore seat time he will be flying.looks like you have a strong power band.Ps are you racing localy,we stay at Highlands Reserve in Davenport 2 weeks every year,last time in April,would like to see some miniquad racing next time we are over.

Catfish, I try my best to let him know how proud I am of him. But I also get onto him when he's doing wrong. That last pic just makes my heart melt.

WW228King, I've always figured if he can ride on the most whooped out track and be able to handle the bike in those conditions he could surely ride on other tracks. Thing is, the way that bike is moving around on him he loves it. He'll put 10 laps in non stop and I actually have to make him take a rest.

NordicQuad, yeah man the power delivery hits at 1/4 throttle and pulls all the way to top end. I've been riding his bike alot since mine is down (Why clutches are gone lol). Davenport is right up the road from me. Matter of fact, that's where he's riding in the video. You probably want to check out Dade City when you get here. They have all kinds of classes for the kids and adults. If I take my aon there he'll be racing with 15yr olds. Don't think he'll be racing there anytime soon. So we racw here at Bartow MX where the kids all race together. They're all in different classes but competing against each other. It's competetive but they want the kids to have fun. Once he gets more experienced I'll re evaluate.

Welcome to the site and he looks like EVERY kid should look. HAPPY ;) . It would be nice if we could all get together and let kids enjoy themselves. Keep us posted on how he's riding and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
