Brady Baker (11 years young) has been pushing the boundaries of kids BMX for the last couple of years. Yet until recently he had never ridden a mountain bike. Morpheus wanted to change that so we reached out to his father, Alex and Brady Baker (rider) to see if they wanted to get involved in the development of the world's first competition ready dirt jumper for kids. When they first heard that our intention was to shrink down our full size Vimana and implement perfect kid's geometry, Alex and Brady quickly became the project's greatest assets.
Though he hadn't ridden mountain bikes he admired our riders, particularly Anthony and was eager to try out a mini version of his FMBA world tour rig. We made an initial prototype to just get a physical representation of the concept. Once we had tested it and we were confident it was structurally safe we met Brady and his dad at our local dirt jump park to see how it fit. It fit like a glove and on that first day he hit some solid 20 foot dirt to dirt gaps. After taking the bike home it was only a couple weeks later when his dad told us he is ready to do some filming. Brady is a solid rider and he was confident enough on the bike to bang out this edit in a matter of hours. Keep an eye out for Brady in the spring time when we produce an all dirt edit on his generation two prototype, Vimana JR.

Awesome video! It's cool to see the next generation of pros so early on. You can just tell that all these guys will make it big already.
and type "brady"

...may be not, because he will have a more weight, and the bike will need to be bigger(more weight), then yet more older - slower and so on.
God only knows what will happen.
But he's great now.
The fork looks like 29", see wheere is the arch and where is the tire.
It obviously done so because of it's longer AC length to have the front end be higher yet lightweight and not toomuch travel, angle be slacker having more toe-tire distance.
Of course, dude!
But the idea is the same, just another implementation.
I mean the idea.
Has written one example of implementation.
There is nothing crazy in it absolutely, as the kid doing pretty superb on that setup.
Crazy it would be if to make some modification which is obviously dangerous and then to crash till die due to that mod.
But this set up is not even potentialy dangerous to the kid.
*within reason. I won't throw myself off the grand canyon...
Anyone know the song remix name?
