so my 6yo finally started riding his bike regularly and the first time he went over a small roller on a fire road he loved it and called it a "race bump". Pure joy. He's not talented yet, but he definitely likes individual sports and I was thinking maybe he could try it. I know there's a track locally to me, but what's the state of the art these days? Where are kids/dads who get bigger and older dumping their super small skinny wheeled 20" bikes? How much am I looking at for bike, helmet, protective gear?
I should also say that I still have my own 20" kicking around. Since I had this thought I've been trying to work on manuals and it's pathetic, but I better get started because if my son races it will be a gateway drug for me and I'll be doing it too before long.
Sidebar... my 20" has been kicking around since 2003 and there was zero rust on it until this Xmas when I took our bikes to the family and it rained on the way home.
Sidebar 2... the first time I ever clipped in on a bike was not on a road bike or tri bike but a BMX bike.
Anyway, thanks in advance.
