theggyster (Jan 31, 2008 at 18:03)

man that other kid was pretty good. don't mess with him!

bvfreerider (Jan 31, 2008 at 5:41)

Nice man, definitely keep it up. It's amazing how much control you have of a bike that's almost 3/4 of your height. Just don't make the mistake I did when I turned 16 and got a license..... Still regret that one.

wow, the thing that amazes me is how he finds the strength to do all that on a full suss that size, he's tiny and only 11, therefore no proper muscle growth. Im 14 (but the size and build of a 16/17yr old), and Im proper drained after every hit having just converted to full sussers, he really is increadible, and has way more balls than any one twice his size (metaphorically speaking of course). Keep shredding. Im not jelous. Honest.

In the past few months i have seen a bunch of flicks of him in the photo section. I was always very impressed. So young and small yet stylish and pulling big moves, FOR AN **11 YR OLD**.

wayyyy better then last dude that pinkbike shocased on the headlines.

theggyster (Jan 31, 2008 at 18:04)

stop saying the other kid was bad. he is good too. he hit some pretty big stuff.

urbanraider (Jan 31, 2008 at 10:58)

this kids got a wicked future if he keeops on rippin as hard as he does, think bout it, by the time hes 15/16, he'll be as good as the pros are when they're like 20-24, this kid HAS skill, hes ridin a bike that almost the size of him and hittin massive gaps, and throwing trixs of'em, somebody please sponsor this kid!

[Reply]

theggyster (Jan 31, 2008 at 18:13)

at 162 he comes so close to nose diving and crashing. still a no hander is pretty dope. especially with a heavy fork like the dirt jumper 4. man you get some serious props from me. if i ever go an a road trip to bc i will search this kid out and enjoy his skills. hey anthony if you read this you are one cool kid!

downhilldro (Jan 31, 2008 at 7:53)

that bike is too big for him but he seems to throw it around pretty good!

downhillmike (Jan 31, 2008 at 10:08)

I also thought the bike was too big for him.. I guess he will grow into it though. Awesome riding and keep it up. Let me know if you ever make it out on the east coast for racing or downhilling.

crazy, only problem is 99 percent of kids that good at that age stop by the time there 16,no question if you stick with it youl be a big name pro,but you better be as dedicated as you look cuz it would be a shame to see you quit oneday. but this looks promising so keep going buddie,your so good.

[Reply]

Hombre3000 (Jan 31, 2008 at 18:59)

He's a great rider (although unfortunately his bike is very big for him) but I am totally skeptical that he's wearing a sweater "for the ladies." He's 11. There are no "ladies" at 11.

There is raisins though!

Below threshold threads are hidden

el-shreddo (Jan 31, 2008 at 16:08)

Alright, huge respect for the impressive riding.

But could you please keep the news section for important stuff?

payback (Jan 31, 2008 at 17:32)

important stuff??????????? I think the youth of the sport are the IMPORTANT stuff ...get your head outta your ass!

el-shreddo (Feb 1, 2008 at 3:21)

DonÂ´t get me wrong, please. Youth is important, of course. But thatÂ´s just one guy out of thousands. But yeah, go on and feature 500 more Kids like him on PB. Half of them will quit when they get a girlfriend or school takes up more time. IÂ´m a youth tutor at the fire dep. over here, we know that effect quite well. But donÂ´t be worried: The cool ones come back when theyÂ´re ready. ItÂ´s just a little too early for him, sorry.

Very impressive riding though, thatÂ´s beyond all question!

konad (Feb 1, 2008 at 21:38)

good point dude,i mean if they are any bit important then we will see them when there actaly pro...besides theres alot of kids remerkable for there age weather it be 11 or 15,infact peep this kid hes 12,and killign it even harder,throwing fully extended no cans and super seats http://www.pinkbike.com/video/6918/ hes not on the news here...
