my 8 year old is already trying to freestyle
knack knacks all the stuff he see's on tv
but i would really like to know if there is a place or a school i can take him
to to learn the basics of jumping if there is even one around
i am an old dirttracker and he can get it on on a dirttrack ive taught him to good now i cant get around the lil phucker unless i rail him out of the way
but hes getting bored with it and mx unleashed has started a whole new
intrest for him and he wants to do it but i havent a clue how or where to go to get him started in the right direction i dont want him to learn the wrong way and get hurt,I dont know how my dad watched me crash oh well another part of parenting
anyway any info or sites you could post up would be greatly appreciated
thanks for taking the time to read this and for any info you could pass on

 

Get up some pictures of the youngin'. That's awesome what he's doing! I have heard of a few school's and such, but no idea where they are located.

 

Maybe Brain could do it? But Im not saying he will. Just get him good sized tabletop for his bike size and have him jump it alot. Then start trying stuff on it.

 

I agree start him out on a table top, as he gets more air find/build a longer taller one. Once he learns rythem and can hit the landing consistantly try small doubles, and get bigger. Its just practice, practice, practice. Start small and grow. Unfortunately hitting the dirt will be part of the game.

 

True, thats what my pops did, just let me go out and learn by just doin it, and when you wreck, you learn from mistakes, but definately a table top would be the "safest" way to go

 

yaw find a decent sized jump, not too small, not too big. alot of MX tracks have a peewee track your son would have fun on
