Must Watch: Matt Hunter's Family is All Smiles in 'Little Trail Hunter - Part 2'
 | Since my own childhood, bikes have proven to enhance all experiences connected to them. It's a consistent positive effect on nearly every aspect of life. As a Dad it feels natural to share that with my kids. We have worked bikes into everyday life since the boys were able to walk, and the rewards have been tangible. I love the spaces where bikes demand we spend our time. A trail to a kid is a place where curiosity, discovery and adventure collide. It's a place where real experiences are found, both good and bad. It's a place without warning labels and plastic and rules. Where you can catch a frog and skin your knee and jump in a puddle. |
| It's not always skids and smiles and sunshine, but even when it's raining and the kids are cold and whining it's still better than anything else. |
| Many of my scariest memories include seeing my kids on two wheels. Many of my happiest moments also involve seeing my kids on two wheels. |
| Watching a kid discover biking is as fun as doing it again yourself. |
| Creating this film I wanted to capture the pure joy and happiness bikes bring to kids of all ages. The Hunter family has been a constant inspiration and reminder of why we ride bikes and how incorporating them into family life creates a healthy and natural learning environment. Having a camera around capturing these moments has been a true pleasure. |
| Witnessing Matt’s family discovering all the freedom their riding has to offer, it feels like I’m rediscovering it for myself. So I’m incredibly grateful for the chance to have focused so much time on chasing them with my camera, tag/teaming the storyline with Matty while hunting out the magic moments of our days that could have been easily overlooked as ordinary. |

Serious. . .thanks, and thanks for part 2.
Love this video, stoked to get my kids out when they are old enough.
I just watched this with my boys, the 1 year old crawled over to his Strider (which is on a fixed rocking base) and the 3 year old asked if we could go riding tomorrow. Fully stoked family here!
That being said, it's all a bit ironic given the fact that Specialized make terrible kids bikes (their smaller pedal bikes weigh tons and have coaster brakes).
