Well to start with you have to realize an XR100 for a kid is a great woods bike. The brakes suck, but you hardly ever need them because of engine braking. It has larger wheels and tires than a mini MX bike so it handles the little stuff great (not good for jumps, but not an issue usually in the woods). It has tons of low end for its size and has a much shorter wheel base than your CR. Stuff that is a sharp turn for you is a sweeping corner for them. When my son switched bikes he was faster on the MX track right away but it was 4 or 5 riding sessions before was as fast in the woods with his YZ85 as he had been with his XR100.

I ride my 125 MX bike in the woods too, I tend to run a gear high and stay out of the power band unless it's an open area. The only real problem is the very rough stuff because of the narrow power band and high first gear. I don't try to climb the steep rutted stuff or go through the very slow stuff I use to on my KTM EXC.
