A different kind of report NF

Well last week was the first time I put my 5 year old Jacob on his ATV by himself. He listened to every word I said and did very well

 

So yesterday I asked him if he wanted to go fishing. He said yes but after ATVing. So we loaded up his ATV and headed to Turkey Point. I increased the speed so that he could easily go up the hills and through the sand. Again he listened to every word and did awesome. After 20 minutes I just let him ride. This kid is a natural!!!

 

(BTW his mother smashed the other headlight off lol)

He figured out donuts pretty fast

We managed to get 15 minutes of fishing in but had no takers. I have a feeling a lot of gas will be used this weekend lol

what bike is that? I've been on the hunt for one for a while now but have been nervous that they are all a little too tall for my 5y/o.? He's been on the electric one since he's been less than two...not worried about him handling...just reaching...???

It's a Baja 90cc (chinese). I got it off kijiji a couple years ago. It goes pretty fast even with me riding it. I redid all the wiring and gave it a 3" suspension lift, now it is super reliable.

 

It is still too tall for him but some added foot pegs, and extended brake levers work wonders.

Five years old?? That's so great! He's well on his way to being quite the outdoorsman with your guidance

Hey Dan, when I was 5 years old...a very long time ago...I also had a car that I could drive, but to make it go I had to push pedals with my feet and it had a top speed of about 1/2 MPH.

 

Boy, how times have changed

He does love the outdoors. I have a feeling his toys are going to get expensive though

He does have one of those but prefers the ATV

I don't blame him Dan, why use pedalpower when you've got horsepower

That's just awesome Dan.

 

I got my 8 year old daughter a little Kawasaki mini-bike a few years ago and she wont go anywhere near it. I even offered to paint it pink for her. Would never force it on her, but maybe i should try a small ATV instead.

 

Looks like hes having a blast.

 

Cheers
