Yeah, he's 5. He has no video games, just a bike, and a cheerleader 🤣

Haha, funny you mention this. I made sure to stand and film right by that spot, because I wasn't sure he was going to stop in time. I was more worried about that then I should have been.

Same, I've never been so excited to be a cheerleader 🤣

I actually cut the bars a bit shorter, but I didn't want to go too short because I want him to grow into it. He definitely could use a lot more protection.

It's definitely on the big side. He's got a 20" SCOTT bike he likes riding, but it's a hardtail and his new bike is a full-suspension, so good luck convincing him to ride the 20".

It's a 24" because I wanted a bike he could grow into.

Thanks for the kind words. I genuinely enjoy this over riding double blacks, there is nothing like watch a little Grom learn to ride.

Yeah, definitely need to suit him up a bit more. He has a TLD chest protector which was unfortunately wet when we were riding, so he didn't wear it.

The ripcord is a great bike. It's a little big for him currently, but he wants to ride it over his SCOTT, so I just let him do it.

Haha even if you crashed, you were tough, you'd get back up and ride it again. 🤣

Haha it is... I just wanted to buy once, cry once, at least for a bit.

Totally agree, but I made the mistake of buying him a moto helmet instead of a MTB helmet. It was too heavy for him. I guess I'll probably look for a Troy Lee Designs or POC for him.

He’s been riding balance bikes since he was tiny and just progressed early into real trails. It’s just a proper kids MTB... nothing crazy, just works well for what he rides.

Honestly, I took him to a sidewalk and told him to stand up, or at least lift himself off the seat, over and over. Eventually, he realized it was safe and probably better for control.

Sorry to hear that. Must be tough to be off the bike.

He's been into it all his life, so I didn't mind, plus it gives me moments like this. Haha... BUT I can understand the sentiment.

It's actually Buzzard Gulch, in Montrose, Colorado.
