    Wow! Impressive. He looks like a big guy too.
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Nice job Splats! I like front tire spin and rear wheel just on the edge with no tire spin.

    Re: my 10 year old on his bike.

    Nice. I wish I'd have started mtn biking when I was 10 years old. I'd start putting pads on him though. Once you start this kind of riding, it's not a matter of if you'll crash, but when you'll crash. Of course I'm sure he bounces better and heals faster than I do now. As I type this I'm nursing a bruised knee I got at Whistler on Saturday :cryin:

    Re: my 10 year old on his bike.

    Thanks , I know he need some pads( he hates them ) , beacuse crashing is a part of riding. As matter of fact he is wearing a Giro Switchblabe fullface, because he Broke his other helmet 2 months ago.

    and he just got done with a Growth Spurt ,and he is one of the tallest kids in his class.

    Also I have told him, what My father told me , If your gonna be stupid you got to be tough

    Re: my 10 year old on his bike.

    Yeah no one really likes wearing it until you crash hard. Do you have any more pics of the stunts you've built? I wish I had the room to build more than just an adjustable drop that I still havent' built.

    Good thing you do not live here, the Zoning clowns would be visiting you wanting permits for everything. They are so after $$ they fine you if you work on your own car in your own driveway....but it's ok in a parking lot what morons! They threatened to bulldoze a girls playhouse her father built, the fines were more than the wood to build it!

    Whatever happened to being able to use your own property the way you want?

    Re: my 10 year old on his bike.

    I'm sure the zoneing people would come after me if they could. But None of My Stunts are Permenant, They are mobile , and are constantly changing, hence nothing they can do about it ( or at least they have not figured out how yet. )

    this wasthe one that got there panties in a wad, But simply told them and showed them I move them around all the time , including this one ( granted this one really has not moved in almost a year )



    side view




    here are some others that have been set up in various place in my yard.






    the Boy again



    Me



    Noit exactly one of the most sturdy ones , but this was set up by my son while we were out riding , so Of course we had to ride it



    a Wodden Berm



    A little Gap




    My Son on a teeter.







    and yes they have taken there fair share of casulties

    yeah we have some of that crap too! Because my Property is Bordered with a running creek ( and through part of my yard ) If I want to dig a Hole more than 12 Inches deep with in 200 yards of the creek I am suppose to get a permit ($$) then I have to go in front of theconservation committe to explain what I want to do and Why to get there Ok. and hey usually want a 2nd more expensive permit , I went through Channels once . forget doing that again.

    Wow, you are lucky, here they wouldn't care if it's permanent or not, and each time you'd move them they'd want permits...:mad2: It's unreal. Yet they never did do anything about a shed that was built here.
