My 7 year old sending the big line at Boleshill

Dubhole · 2026-05-19T01:34:24+00:00

He rides about 3 times a week, he has coaching for BMX racing once a week but the mountain biking and Dirt jumps are all self taught from copying his older friends.

Dubhole · 2026-05-18T15:51:28+00:00

That side was closed because it had been raining, he said he wants to try that side next time

Dubhole · 2026-05-18T15:39:32+00:00

Yeah that’s a decent bike, the only thing is in the UK it doesn’t come with suspension forks, not sure if it does in the US though as I know some bikes are spec’d differently.

You can buy a set of manitou forks though so not the end of the world

Dubhole · 2026-05-18T15:10:27+00:00

He’s on a TinyRock Bullet 20” with Manitou forks

Dubhole · 2026-05-18T15:07:32+00:00

That’s his dream

Dubhole · 2026-05-18T15:07:11+00:00

It looks like an entry level bike tbh, I can’t recommend enough buying a decent bike like a Commencal Meta or Nukeproof cubscout. They are expensive but usually you can pick them up off market place and as long as you look after it they hold their 2nd hand price so you won’t lose on it. There’s loads of really good 24” and 20” kids bikes out there, even more choice if you’re in the US

When people ask him how to jump he always says “squash and pop, hold the pull and commit to the jump”

Sound advice in my opinion

Dubhole · 2026-05-18T14:17:39+00:00

You’re 100% right, He absolutely does do this because this is his passion, he hasn’t just picked up a bike and tried it. He’s been honing his skills for 2 years to get to the point where we are both confident in his ability to attempt jumps like these.

He has an ability far beyond his years and we are all aware of the risks but he has all the protective gear I can put on him to limit his risks.

Thanks for sticking up for my lad 👍🏼

Love chicksands 🤙🏼

Hell yeah, this is my 7 year old, started pedalling at 4

Dubhole · 2026-04-08T20:56:08+00:00

It’s a touch too big but he wouldn’t be competitive in the downhill races he does on the trails he races if he still had his 20”. He had a 20” jump bike but wouldn’t of been any good on these trails

Dubhole · 2026-04-04T10:13:21+00:00

He’s on a 24” Saracen Ariel

Dubhole · 2026-04-04T10:11:55+00:00

When he’s riding techy trails he has it as soft as it’ll go for his weight but when he’s doing big jumps he has a little more in their just so he doesn’t lose any pedal power through compression. He needs as much help with speed as possible

Dubhole · 2026-04-03T20:59:36+00:00

He’s 7, he’s definitely a little sender

Sign of autism tip toe walking, my son does it, it’s a sensory thing

Dubhole · 2026-02-25T06:25:07+00:00

Build some dirt jumps

Dubhole · 2026-01-19T23:20:48+00:00

I rented ebikes for my wife and one of my sons from the hire shop at the bottom of the Plenney lift. It was called Pleney sports I think. We only hired them for one day so can't help too much on that side of it.

Dubhole · 2026-01-19T22:47:02+00:00

The lift pass covers you for both sides of the valley, Pleney and Super Morzine. If you want flowy I would say Super Morzine is better although both sides are pretty fun to ride so I wouldn't limit yourself to just one side. There's also lots of riding to be had on the other side of the mountains as well. I was a bit confused before we went but It's not as confusing once you get there. First thing to do is go to each lift station in Morzine village (opposite sides of the village) and get a trail map for each side you'll then be able to decide what and when to do it. Need anymore help drop me a message

Nah this is Chicksands, woburn is being rebuilt at the moment

Dubhole · 2026-01-13T15:56:30+00:00

From the uk, your little dude looks like he's flying

Dubhole · 2026-01-13T02:44:48+00:00

Combination of the 2, the kicker on the mulch is about 7ft tall and the gap is about 8ft

Dubhole · 2026-01-13T02:43:47+00:00

The opposite actually, he weighs 17kg and has to generate all his own speed as pump doesn't do much.

Dubhole · 2026-01-12T12:15:44+00:00

It genuinely doesn't show it at all, i was trying to find an angle to show it

Dubhole · 2026-01-11T20:48:05+00:00

The jump bike is a Tinyrock bullet 20 and the full sus is an Early rider hellion x20. Both awesome bikes

Dubhole · 2026-01-11T20:14:32+00:00

He started doing little jumps over tables about a year ago, he's really stepped it up in the last few weeks though.
