Heya Dusty, not overly worried about the young riders, I’m more the “instant hero” adults, loud pipes, no consideration for the environment, no due dference to his neighbours or fellow bikeriders, and this trait usually comes with personality type “INSTANT EXPERT” they know everything about everything, will never help lobby, or help fix the trails, they see, buy, and destroy that which I see as sacred.
The kid you described will grow up to be you, me & TB, gotta start somewhere, as long as it’s not hordes of young hooligans tearing round the neighbourhood all is as life should be.
I see a young bloke pushing his older minibike up the road, I grin to myself and think keep at it mate.. one day you’ll be one of us respectables.
But as Michael has stated over & over it would be great if we were progressive instead of defensive and could get conveient local riding areas opened for the younger ones.
There’s football fields and cricket ovals everywhere for those minority groups
Some people just can’t work it out.
