As many of you know, i took the training wheels off of my sons bike earlier this month. He's been riding several times a week since and now......he's hucking curbs and doing pedal grinds (well, unintentionally of course). I didn't even talk him into it...he was following behind me in the parking lot, practicing on speed bumps, and all of the sudden i hear his chain slapping the chain stay. I look back and up he goes again to the wheelchair ramp then off of the curb. shortly after, he started taking his hands off the bars "just like the bike video daddy".

so w/out further babbling from a proud father, here are the pics.

his first pedal grind (he pulled it off and kept riding. i think he just cut the corner too sharp)


close-up (check the concentration on his face)


all smiles after the drop


and his extra special reward for being so hardcore.....he gets to wash my patrol car (i assume he won't think it's so cool when he's older, but for now it's like getting candy or something)
