Good luck topping that one Danny! Amazing work and thank you for the smile you have put on my face

Maybe the problem is giving kids amazing bikes and taking them to the best riding locations too early? I remember always following my dad on 'bike rides' where we just used to weave in and out of dropped curbs, went down the same dusty footpath and rode to the same lake for years. I loved every minute of it, riding a 16" until I was about 9, did I need a bigger bike? Definitely. Did I get it handed to me? No. I was told that I could have a new bike if I ate all of my dinner every day for a month, sounds easy, but vegetables are the devil at age 9. I just about managed it, with some help from the dog, and when I got that new bike it was so precious to me and I loved every minute of riding it so much more than if I hadn't felt like I earned it. Even into my early teens, I wasn't brought bikes or bike parts, I worked for them through paper rounds, selling sweets at school and various other little ventures, maintaining my interest by thinking how good riding the part I was saving up for would be. I'm still riding at 21, and guess what? I'm the one dragging my dad around the trails with me now, week in week out.
