Hi
Ive got a 12 yr old with a 2001 XR100R he got from his grand father for christmas. Hes been riding in the woods, and this weekend, we're taking him to TNT Motorsports to ride some MX and trails with other guys, (I have no bike, cry for me)
I teach him "Ride safe" I preach "Check your bike before you ride", I even give him little pointers that I know from riding when I was youger, and things I read here and hear elswhere.
My question is this, The kid is BIG Over 5' and 165lbs. Are there any tips that may pretain to a rider his size folks might not mention, or get passed on as often? I mean, you dont hear of too mant 6'5" 250+Lb motocross riders these days (Although, I would LOVE to give it a whirl:eek:
TIA
