My eldest lad is 6. Last autumn he went round our nearest track (Yeadon) for the first time on a heavy pitbike. He had a fairly big off, landing on his head and it severely knocked his confidence. Since then we've got him a DK junior (20" wheels). He had his first go around Yeadon since the crash yesterday and he put in 15 decent laps. I'm really proud that he's overcome this mental barrier as he wouldn't set foot on any track after his crash but he's now buzzing and pestering me to take him to a track again asap.
