First real post here......
Years ago my 6 year old (at the time) wanted to race bmx bicycles. He was pretty talented and we attended a "National" event at a track not to far from home. There were families that traveled all over the country to compete. I learned a hard lesson when my son lined up in the main event for 6 year old "Novice" ranked riders. Next to him was a little girl on a custom made Titanium framed bike that had wheels that had to of cost at least $500 each. This family had three kids, and had traveled 1000's of miles with bikes worth 1000's of dollars so the kids could race. My wife had had a litter of kittens when I spent $300 on my son's bike...."Honey, he's six years old...."

Oops I was one of those kids. Was nationally ranked at one point, and raced all over the country. Actually flew to Vegas for the Grand Nationals one year. Now back to BBQ ;)
