Dusty, LOL Everyone that has seen my son says he's gonna go somewhere if we get him into the sport. The owner of the bike shop we go to says that he's never seen a child as young as him climb up the side of a full size dirt bike. He offered us a brand new 2006 honda 50 (the realy small ones) for 1,000 when they sell new for 3,500. He has that much belief in our son. We plan on getting him a little electric powered one here soon. He's still to young to give him gas power. We want to start him out slow so he knows what he's doing before we give him real power. We want him knowing how dangerous it really is. That is why we also let him wear my hubby's gear, he will get used to a helemt and chest proctor. We are getting him riding pants and gloves here prolly this week sometime.

Hunter, How old is your son? I would susggest buying all gear of off eBay. When they are young they grow so fast buying new gear is like throwing money away. Also I would suggest starting them on a 50. Yahama makes really good 50's. They have the PW50's and they come with training wheels if you buy them new. You can buy then used but most of the time that person has already got rid of the training wheels and finding them so us so far is next to impossible. Does your hubby ride, or know anything about the sport?
