Solid Gold!
Not too much in that skull worth saving.
I had it on 90% of the time. Funny, I'm usually the guy wearing too much armor in pics.
P.S. That Snowshoe vid is priceless!!^^
Nice shot! who was shootin' from there? Did you get others from this position?
Ethan's launch would be cool to see....

Richard from Morewood was taking these.
Here is another one he took.
uh oh Mueller...Richard is gunning for the photo crown pretty hard.
Two new video's of Mason riding today. I have been taking him riding every night. Will be taking him to the indoor skate park as soon as we can afford it..... I think he will have a blast there.

wow that is special
I can't think of anything to say thats funnier than the picture itself.
hit up hobby park today for the first time in while
what's this kid riding?
Older Morewood Shova LT
Chris at the LMC SEC race 2 weeks ago.
the groundskeeper missed a few spots on top of the berm.
New shots of Mason at his first day at the local Skate Park. Over all he did very well. The other Groms there were tripping on him and thought it was so cool to see him there at his age. The highest box he road down was the 4 foot boxes. I got him in the Bowl and he started to pump around in it really good until he fell over after about 2 mins of riding in it. He was done by that time. We plan to start going there throughout the winter on Wed nights.

I may want to get that bike from you when Mason outgrows it.
Always a pinner.
Yah, you and Dave both. It's still hard to believe he is riding already even when you see it with you're 2 own eyes. I am so proud!! Will be adding the brakes on soon. Just need to find small brake leavers.I may want to get that bike from you when Mason outgrows it.

Brakes were one of my big problems too. Trevor was racing bmx on a modified micro mini Free Agent at 2yrs 7mos. AND he was small for his age.
Track moms just loved him.
But brakes were definetly a problem. I ended up with a Shimano lever the perfect length for all 4 fingers to grab. No matter HOW slick the cable, and loose the arm springs, they just can't get enough power to the pads without all 4 fingers. I modified the reach so it was only about 1.5"'s out. And I kept his canti brakes UBER close to the rim. I had to true the 18" sewups almost daily. I also cut and redrilled a set of solid aluminum cranks to 133mm. And that was still too big for his legs. But any smaller and he wouldn't get the speed for the gargantuan(in his eyes) mountains on a bmx track.
Quick edit from the local dual slalom track. Also has a few clips at the end from the 3rd Beech Mtn race...
I spy a bib stache!
awwwww sh1tmud!
Is it wrong to enjoy Trill Will so much?
Hell no, I knew I liked that cat the first minute I met him.
I need my dirt jump fix:

I've already got more chicks on my case than I can handle, so back off there buddy
It was quite funny when he randomly hopped up a couple octaves to sing the high notes from Crazy on You by Heart while in the car.
He stunned me and Matt Griffin with his impromptu freestyling in the back of a shuttle. Matt was like "I can't believe you just made up all that stuff and it rhymed."
did a little hiking/riding at pilot mtn with the kids yesterday:
they climbed this outcrop for a better view
a little bouldering
some trail time w/ the dog
and noah's first paved DH run down a mountain. i don't think he's ever been that fast!
wind blown but happy
good times...and i think they're hooked on the whole mountain life thing

i think i'm gonna rebuild this old spot.... if you recognize it and you're still local come give me a hand sometime. i'm going to make them big enough to throw down on but not so nasty that intermediate riders can't handle 'em. more of a fun set than a "oh my god those are big jumps"

i think i'm going to avoid using complete trees as foundation

This is a few pics and a couple videos of my 10 year old son getting his FR game on :
This is what I warned him about when he gets to a little frisky with his tricks:

I recommend a full face at all times for him. Dental devices at that age will cost him a lifetime.
nice pics chili, that looks like central FL...almost like the TOE back in the day. is it some new stuff at santos or something?
i can't get over how small my 9yr old is...he's been hucking for 5 years now and is STILL too small for a 24" rig. i can't wait to get him on a FS bike...what frame is your boy riding?
some santos dj huckage back in '08
