    Start 'em Young!

    Check out this Chinese gal!

    "Four-year-old Tu Yuncai rides a motorcycle at the Hebei Art Centre in Shijiazhuang, north Chinas Hebei province, October 26, 2005. Tu, born in east Chinas Jiangxi province, began to learn acrobatics at the age of one and a half years. Tu will be the youngest performer in the WuQiao International Acrobatics Festival which will kick off in Shijiazhuang on October 29, 2005, local media reported." (China Newsphoto/Reuters)

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    interesting at only 4 years of age, but no helmet, no gloves, probably inappropriate footwear. Clothing probably wouldn't help when she comes off.

    Does she have a license?? Special dispensation perhaps?? (p/t)


    What was wrong with the normal gymnastics equipment??

    She doesn't need any protective equipment since she will either complete a somersault when falling or bounce off of the ground.

    OK

    I wonder how many times she has come off as it looks like she has not learnt yet
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    I am most definately an advocate for bikers starting out young...that's sorta taking it to the extreme though.

    Cool

    Her feet can't even reach the foot levers... so who changes gears for her...
    I suppose they have someone go out and grab the bike at the end of her performance... since she wont be able to jump off it and hold it up.

    They could have her doing it on a mini bike.... where she could touch the ground.

    I mean what happens if say she has a off day and it goes off the stage into the crowd...I sure wouldnt want to be sitting in the front couple of rows.
