Default 12 year old son racing flattrack

my 12 year old composed and posted this himself. I thought it was pretty good. Photos are courtesy of Dave Hoening at www.flattrakfotos.com. Enjoy.

Very well done, both the riding and video. Curious, has he ever seen "On Any Sunday"?
If not find it for him he will love it. My nephew(9) started motocross last year. I bought the DVD for him, I think he watched it about 100 times in the first week..

I'd say you'll be broke by the time he's 18 and lovin' it, "Sorry!"...but it'll be fun watching him fall into your riding shoes anyways....
