After an insanely busy holiday season, i was finally able to take noah (Lil' Manimal) out for a full afternoon of riding...just the two of us 
we started out at Country Park (city ordained and co-built freeride park)
then he wante to hit some urban...his first true street ride and it was killer!
sporting the new hockey leg pads....best things ever!
bridge view of a sick 2-set stair thingy he was doing, came down a fast trail and flew over these like a pro. he never actually touched the stairs on the first set, landed flat and kept pedalling for the second set
on to another spot but he made me promise that we'd come back to the previous one before we left. steep stair set
another, "looks bigger than it feels" set of 3. i had to stand in the street for this one to make sure no cars were coming as the last step is about 3' from the road.
i even got to ride
noah's filming debut
he tried a really steep and choppy brick 3 set and got squirrely at the bottom.

he cried for about 2 minutes and had a tiny strawberry just under his nose. i was thankful that he came out relatively unscathed considering how hard he went down. then he got back up and we went back to the spot i'd promised him we'd return to.
nightshot showing how he wasn't even touching the stairs. i can't wait to finish editing the video....he was hauling!!!
a cool little run w/ a bunch of small stair sets down a scenic trail. was really cool at night, especially at the speed he was traveling.
then, on the way home, my wife called and asked me to pick up a caramel sunday. on the way out of the drive-thru, ronald mcdonald flipped us the bird. so noah, being the protector of all that is gentlemen-like, jumped out of the car screaming "i know you didn't!!!" and began whooping the red-headed clown as only he can do.
first a strong right to the kisser
then a headlock with more punches from the right.
mr. McD won't be disturbing the peace any longer
sorry for the poor image quality, most shots are screen captures from camcorder.
parenthood rocks!

Props to him for getting right back on the bike though!
