Greetings-

New Father & Son Members here from South Orange County-
My 10 year old rides a Honda CRF 70 and Daddy pokes along on a CRF 450x.

We just got back from Parker Az. and riding the desert. The boy had a ball on hard pack to slightly sandy tracked up hills. Dad got spanked pretty hard riding the various conditions of that the desert offers...2foot deep rock washes, Sand and football size to voltzwagon thing sized volcanic rock....woops that last longer than my numbing claws could .... GREAT STUFF!

I had a blast riding with my brother inlaw and his friend who've both been riding since they were fetus's. "momentum is your friend!...Keep up the RPM's" :blah: I found out how unforgiving a foe gravity truly is. Can't wait to go back! :cool:

Glad to be here!

Thanks!

My Boy and I watched the Original "ON ANY SUNDAY"-
Last night... Simply the best!

We laughed about the kids on Schwinn stingrays with banana seats and the "ape hanger" handle bars jumping their bikes... I would have been about 8 yrs. when the movie was made-and had a bike (hand me down) that was just like those-

The Old School guys, road all types of bikes and tracks.... Saw alot of "duct-tape" duck bills and face shields- Incredible when you see the "cutting edge" of technology being born in Mert's garage! Mr. Smith was amazing!

I'll quit now, but it was great to see this movie again with my boy...a "Holy moment" if you will.
