[QUOTE="kellyk7, post: 1015089, member: 66757"] something everybody seems to miss, why move him up if all he can do is run straight lines, Move him up to a bike with clutch that fits him. then set up two buckets and have him run figure eights, start out wide and long, as he gets up in speed make them smaller, the goal is to get used to running them fast, teach him to use the back brake to slide around the corner, if I am right the xr 70 is an autoclutch bike so this will be a problem on the XR, also get him used to the bikes habbits, have him top it out and go hard for the front brake, watch for skid, or stand up on front wheel, he needs to know how this feels, do the same with rear brake, he needs to know what it feels like to cause a skid, do this over and over, standing and sitting. too many people just want to ride, develope the skills and then ride anything you want. to many adults try to start kids off to fast and they get freaked, or more dangerously they do not develope good ride skills.
