How old to start riding a dirt bike

[Latte]

Jumps and going flat out was where it was at when I was a kid, still is

My fav early experience on a dirt bike was being doubled by a friend of my Dad's who was an Auckland MX champ at the time, jumping over ditches and mounds of dirt at a construction site (what is now constellation Drive) and being scared silly

"Competitive" is even way way WAYYYYYY cooler. And experiencing no serious crash agonies is cooler still. Especially when you're only a wee kid.

gotta say that the fear factor of ripping my head off on a tree or plummetting down a cliff keeps me interested so trials isn't really gonna do it for me. In saying that... many many awesome enduro riders started out in trials there's huge skills which pay off later. push him till he crys then sit back and watch the money come in in ten years time, lol
