I tell my kids, "You take your feet off the pegs when you are getting off the bike.  If you take both feet off the pegs, that's what you're about to do anyway!"

Obviously (and probably thankfully) they don't listen to me.  They will listen to someone unrelated to them, however, no matter how slow that person may be (not mentioning any names, Ivan :)).  "...but Ivan told me..." Oops, did I say that? :p

I also tell them that when they take both feet off the pegs (common in muddy situations) that they have given up control of the bike.  Similar to the first thing I mentioned above, they hear, "...wah wah wah...wah wah wah....bike...wah wah wah..."

My best advice would be to trade them to your neighbor (to whom they will listen) and you can get his kids (that, unlike your kids, probably rank you above a used cantalope in the useful-source-of-information scale).

I say all that, but Ricky (my 11 year old) actually listened to me this past weekend and was jumping his first double!  It's about a 20-25' uphill double.  I think I was more excited that he was!
