Message: [QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 386477, member: 22283"] My take on kids starting out on dirtbikes is this: Age has nothing to do with it whatsoever. It is a matter of maturity, and motor skills. Responsible parents have the task of determining whether or not their child has proper amounts of both before they should be allowed to undertake the responsibility of riding. My bet is that many anxious parents get many kids hurt. Honda publishes a great tutorial for parents that have new riders. If every parent read and completely understood the implications that are explained in the manual, there would be far less injuries. Parents also have the responsibility of providing proper training to their kids. Some parents have no business riding themselves, let alone trying to teach a kid to ride properly. My prayers go out to the injured kids and their parents. [/QUOTE]
