Two weeks ago we sat and watched (for 15 minutes) x 3 sessions….as two (2) , maybe three(3) pee wee’s ATEMPTED to make it around MX-213.
They failed miserably.
Even though the track was dry, so dry that they had to water to keep the 2 quads (in another 15 min x 3 sessions) from making too much dust, their little wheels coupled with no HP, automatic transmissions and beginner skill had them stuck in most every turn. The flaggers would un-stuck them only to have Jr. now doggy-paddling up the hills as they tried to gain some momentum before becoming stuck in the next turn.
Not stupid (these little kids) they then resorted to veering off the track onto the grass in an attempt to avoid the Big Bike Berms. In the pee-wee quad session (another 2 or 3 max out on the track) one youngster resorted to cutting out 70% of the track just so he could get around once before his 15 minutes was up.
After that, the crew at MX-213 brought out the tractor and plowed the turns…… WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
The 2 quads, 3 peewees and 2 minquads……LOVED IT! No, wait….I think they went home..
To me it seems as if the DAD’s want Jr. on the big track “so he can learn faster, be exposed to the REAL MX, be ready for the big show”…..Bla-bla-bla……
We’re talking about 4,5,6,7and 8 year olds. There are some fast little kids…no doubt. But those folks are the minority and should revel in the fact that Jr. is special and do what it takes to give Jr. his advantage, but reality is ….most kids have a better chance at being gay than being something substantial in MX…
