I reckon riding a KX65 would make him more confident and quicker, being a lighter and more responsive bike than the XR100. His feet would still be able to touch the ground around tight and steep stuff if he had to. Going taller too soon would probably slow down his progression.

sounds like he is doing really well - gaining so much confidence. That convict track is good - once i figured out on the little hills (bumps lol) to keep that power on. 1 bloody tree root got me everytime & i'd get stuck on it! heaps of pple went through it on Sat so by end of the day it was really churned up.

cool! I'm going to get one off Cheese. Later this year will also get an Accelerometer/Gyro sensor coupled to a datalogger. Sounds techy but what this does is records all my movements and writes it to a SD card in synch with the video. From this I will be able to play it back on my motion platform and simulate my ride!

i can poke stev in the eye for having flat batterys

Yes! well this is my vision. Get a pro to wear it and go ride his ride, grab the video and play it back on the simulator. So then you can jump on the simulator and ride it enough to have your muscles memorise the movements of the bike to how he rode it. Kind reverse engineer his riding style.

And in noobies case he can practise wheelies and get to know how far to go to reach the balancing point (to an extent) without flipping it.
