"The only thing better than hitting my backyard trails after a day at Canyon, is riding them with my kids! For their age, they can really shred!” In the latest edition of our This Is Why series, we follow Christian, a Canyon graphic designer, as he dips out of work and takes his children out for a session on the home trails with the Canyon Kids’ Bikes. Turns out they’re big fans of drifting corners…

 I previously would have thought this was the lamest video in the world...now I have a 3 month old and I cannot wait to start riding like this!! To ride at the back of the pack and watch the kids learn, grow, and get faster as their roots in biking take hold is going to be awesome! Great video!

 Absolutely! I love seeing my two older kids (3 and 5 yrs) building skills at the pump track and BMX track, learning that bikes are fun! More often these days, I am opting to stay home and ride with my kids vs. hit trails with friends, knowing that the investment is worth it in these young years. Kids are pretty special.

 Sick skids! Great recovery from a pedal slip and don't think I missed that foot out flat out section after that tight corner, way to hang on to it and just point her straight! Great riding boys! Canyon, well done on this video, family, community and togetherness is what riding should be, not some elitist bull honky that a lot of videos suggest it is.

 Ride don't slide Smile

I love riding with my kids too - seeing them progress, often with my heart in my throat, is a real point of pride, and we all love sharing that time together. I also appreciate the trail advocacy groups here in Vancouver trying to create more trails for a broader cross-section of riders so kids and other new riders can learn and advance up to the amazing trails that have made this region famous.
