My son got his first hole shot in Motocross
My son Nick (12 yr) has been riding for a few years but always rode just for fun .
He finally decided to try racing , and he's having a blast ! (it will be a few years til he can drag race a Pontiac) He entered his 2nd race on Sunday on his KX 85 . Took 3rd , first race he finished 2nd and 7th in 85 senior class. Check out the Vid >http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=7ymOJjV9KvE Anyway, he got his first hole shot and was pretty excited .

Very nice. Take one of your best pics of the day and enlarge it so he can place it next to his trophy. There may be plenty more in the years to come. Nothing like the first one! Congratulations!

Being a kid growing up in the '70's, motocross was the hot ticket. Everyone raced and developed mechanical skills that would last a lifetime.
Over the past three years i have taken a step back in time to relive my youth, as I am involved with vintage motocross racing. Our events also include modern bike classes which expose the younger generation to what I call the "golden age" of motocross. Given that, I see the kids on modern bikes who have no mechanical skills as Dad is the one who preps the bikes, while the kid os off doing other things. Please do the kids a favor and involve them with bike maintenance.....they will appreciate your time and knowledge as they get older.

I wished my parents would have let me do that when I was 12. Instead I got a paper route to work.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
