Can you tell that i'm a proud dad?!! 
It seems like the only chance i get to post on here anymore has something to do about my kids.
Anyway, i was out riding in the parking lot w/ my son today and he decides that he want's to do what daddy does off of the little drop in thingy. ( i like to jump out over this little rolling drop when i'm tooling around in the parking lot). He's been practicing his skills with hitting ramps and stuff....getting better at pulling up, but when i saw him hit this drop i nearly cried i was so happy! he hit it a few times and got off the ground a little bit but then i put a little kicker stick at the lip of it to give him some boost. he went so far the first time that he landed in the flat and crashed. he figured it out after that and stuck the landing almost every time thereafter.
so anyway, here are some pics of my rad 4 yr old son LAUNCHING a little drop/roll in.
the preload....check his form
actually in the air and looking smooth
a smooth, rear wheel down first, landing
and here are some vid stills of one of his crashes. he dusted himself off on this one and came back to hit it several more times before dinner.
starting to lose it
uh oh
BAM!! (full face helmet on order, btw)
that's it for now......i just wish they made a mini that would fit him.
