DJR Posted May 19, 2014 Share I suppose I'll soon have to post this elsewhere, because they are growing up all too fast and they now ride up to the Devils Peak Blockhouse without me having to wait for them. However, like when they were little, they still believe it doesn't count if you don't touch the Blockhouse.

DJR Posted May 23, 2014 Share Has anyone taken their kid to the pump track just below UCT? How kid friendly is it? Not very littlies friendly. It is proper dirt jumping more than pump track. It used to be more pump-track-like, but the jumps are now really very BMX or Jump Bike specific. (They don't work for normal mtbs anymore.) So, for older kids getting into jumping, it is good, but perhaps not the place to learn at the very start. (Also interested to hear what others think of this) Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/83795-the-official-riding-with-kids-thread/page/10/#findComment-2308382 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, for older kids getting into jumping, it is good, but perhaps not the place to learn at the very start. (Also interested to hear what others think of this) As far as my research goes most people actually encourage you to take the kids to a bmx track with big jumps before they can jump. Just to roll over the jumps and acclimatise to the orientation of the fiets when taking off and landing. In my skateboarding days the thing that most late beginners got wrong was their centre of gravity when launching and landing. That being said...99.999% of my research was around bmx racing. We live in "Ve Souf" so the alrode track is 5 minutes away.

MaXiMuM Posted May 24, 2014 Share So Ty's cub/Scout pack had a relay ride to raise cash for the hall. I took just a few pics, but here's the one that I really thought was cool. The kid painted it himself, I thought it was the coolest bike I have seen in a long time. Back peddle break only, the kids got style...
