[QUOTE="nephron, post: 139997, member: 23759"] Dirck Edge said: Exactly. 3 observations: 1) RP is a parent, which is the strongest bond, other than marriage, that exists, although I agree that since he's bailing, Suzuki should pull the plug. 2) RP needs to say "NO" to Travis, [B]IRREGARDLESS[/B] of what Travis, Suzuki, Roger or anyone else wants. End of story. There's no room here for luvvy-duvvy "allow my son to make the decision" stuff. If he goes down again, it might take years to recover (if and when). 3) He has NOTHING to lose waiting for the SX season. Forget the national title, he's not riding "right" right now anyway, probably because of the above statement. And I'm telling you, there is absolutely no correlation between IQ and decision-making capabilities of 17 year olds, ANY of them, because their virgin neurons are bathed in substances that have long ago wilted to abandonment in our bodies (speak for myself, eh?). Additionally, he is currently subject to "peer pressure". Their psychology is entirely different than an adult (come on, aren't there any child psych/development folks here? Speak up.) And for all the 17 year olds out there (Rich and Okie included ;) ), I'm not trying to bash you. I'd give my left nut to be 17 again (ok, ok I'm 34), it's a great age. It's just not a great age to make major decisions like this. You'll look back at yourself when you're in your 30's, 40''s and say "why did I do that?". Trust me, it'll happen. Even the brilliant dot com millionaire kids suffer from the same disability. [/QUOTE]
