Riding with your kids. How do you do it?

[QUOTE="KX250Dad, post: 1164900, member: 74039"] BadgerMan... didn't mean to somewhat emmulate your post following was an "in progress thing" My compliments sir, and I'm sure these two appreciate the cool dad they have!!! Unfortunately... there's no substitute to the learning curves (skill and mental). At best you have and acre or two behind the barn where they can ride, ride, ride and you watch, pick up, start, watch, pick up, start... then do the power line thing. In so far as you... get use to the fact your a teacher/dad not a rider... now is the most important time in learning for the young buc's, they just need to know your there and by being there you keep control. Most young beginners learn quickly so you'll get your riding time soon enough, downside is they'll be ripping around in what will feel like no time and you become the lapper dumby with an X on your back. All kidding aside, keep'em slow big thing would be to much effort picking up and starting or a major dump and some kid's will simply give up. Once they can ride without falling or panic then the track (MX) thing works pretty good. Two neat things happen, most tracks are somewhat walkable and for safety sake will only put the small guys for laps... the youngest will feel comfortable with his peers and you can locate yourself on the track to help him (them) out as required, the KX60 fellow will experience the same, and you will actually get trak time on that YZ... another non-riding dad will gladly keep an eye on the young ones. Do it right and they'll turn into your best buddies until they turn 18 and don't need you to sign the waiver (just teasing, even now my son let's me tag along). ps. ever find yourself tooling thru Louisville come on bye, got a track and some pasture that will fit your as well as their tastes.
