iam in my 30s married with a 9year old son. i have had dirt bikes all my life. got my first one at age 5 . also bought my son his first bike at age 5.i have raced for about 6 years for fun.after i bought my son his bike i started taking him to the track with me, he showed a great intrest in the sport and has done very well. his mother has never liked him racing she says it is to dangerous . it is a very dangerous sport about a year ago i moved him up to a 65 2 stroke from his honda 70 , he was racing the trail bike class on the pewee tracks. now he races on the big track in the 65 class and has done very well. about 3 weeks ago at one of our local races a 10 year old in my sons race took a bad fall over a jump he went over the bars and broke his neck. dont know if he will walk again .we all know this is a very dangerous sport .now racing is a very bad subject in my house with my wife,she knows i wont stop.but he is her son also ,he has and wears all the protective gear just bought him the leatt neck brace a month ago.his mother wants him to stop racing all togther. this is a sport that he greatly enjoys i dont think i can go to the track and tell him he can no longer go if it comes to that
