Wheee....

Will has been on this kick for the last month or so that he needs to get a dual purpose bike, basically a dirt bike that is street legal. He ran into a cousin at his family reunion a few weeks back that owns bikes and said he would invite us out one weekend to ride with his family. This past weekend was the weekend....dirt, dirt bikes, heat and sagebrush what more could you ask for. As far as my boys were concerned (Will included) this was going to be a blast. McKinley and I weren't to sure about riding dirt bikes.



Will took the first turn out and was more convinced than ever that he really needs a bike. Keegan was first up for the kids and he did great his first time out. The second time around he got a little over confident and went down in a nice soft patch of dirt. Bracken was up next, he was the first to crash but it was only a little tip over and he was off again. Cam stayed up both times and even went on a small hill. I should mention we had told the kids to stay off the hills this first time out. I was next and not thrilled about it. I did fine, but don't ever have to ride one again.  McKinley was the last to give it a try, she road around with Will on the back for the first little bit. Then she was off, up and down the rode she went. She had a few scares a long the way, but did awesome. The only problem was stopping for her, the bike was a little heavy for her to hold up and she tipped it twice on herself when she came to a stop. The kids all decided that riding dirt bikes a lot of fun and something we should look into doing more often. But, much to their dismay we won't be out buying bikes any time soon.
