dunefreak Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Kids that are WAY too small for the bikes they are riding. It's the number one reason why kids get hurt out there. When they can barely reach the damn pegs, how can they have control of the bike. :angry2: (the pic is a little blurry, but you get the idea :angry2: ) The bike is a YFZ450 too!

EY3BA11 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 but the best part was he got smoked on the start (could barely hang on) but then halfway up the hill he would start pullin on the competition and end up passin em at the top..

superdave Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 the parents of those kids are the first ones to place blame everywhere but with themselves when the kids get hurt or killed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjunky3 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 was this taken veterans day weekend i saw several kids around comp hill riding banshees and yfz's going up the hill and not even have a clue as to what is going on. its obvious when they all of a sudden make a turn to come back down without even paying attention to others around them. do the rangers enforce any of this on the bigger weekends.

duniemonkie Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Are there even any age laws when it comes to this sport? I think the Grizzley just says no one under 4 should be on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 Yeah you are right. Most quads do have an age posted for riders. Its actually 16! I know there are a sh*tload of riders out at the dunes UNDER 16 on those things too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiercedBoy Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I agree with Dave!! Those parents are the first to point the finger at someone else and yell SUE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 That tweeks my A$$ too. thats what they need to enforce out there. Not to vent, but I got a $175.00 dollar ticket for moving my quad 15 feet with my helmet on my lap and a beer in my hand. I know rules are rules, but for the love of God please pick the important things to enforce!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI Turtle Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 For sure, some of the bigger quads for 16+....but think back to when you were a kid. You think you're indestructable and want to ride the "big boy" quad like you're dad or older brother. It's ultimately up to the parents to control what their kids ride. For sure you need to be able to reach the controls and pegs at the very minimum. I personally know of kids younger than 16 that can tear up the dunes on a banshee or 450...probably way better than me. I personally would have my son wait until he's physically able to handle a bike as well as the skill to do it....it could be 16, 12, or if he sucks, 35.
