The biking continues

We told him he needed to take a nap if he wanted to go to a BMX track tonight.  It worked.

Last week I took him with­out his bike so that we could scope out the com­pe­ti­tion and find out if he was old enough.  They said three year olds that can ride with­out train­ing wheels are wel­come and that their first time is free.   He met those qual­i­fi­ca­tions and now I’d say he’s hooked.

Jenny and her mom cap­tured a lot of video footage and this sin­gle cut of his 7th and last lap turned out the best.    I think his 3rd lap was his best rid­ing requir­ing only the slight­est push from me.  (see video for what I mean).

Nate’s first BMX practice

I really am hop­ing to post more entries to this blog soon.  More fam­ily updates and some per­sonal stuff.  Stay tuned.
