Man that scream cut through me. My son and I were riding though a camp ground after hitting a XC trail, he hooked his front wheel and did a nose dive into the gravel. He made the same sound and holy crap thought he was going to be out of commission for a while. 2 hours later and some duct-tape, band-aids, and ice-cream he was out riding with other kids.
Your young man did awesome at Trestle BP and glad he was ok. Good to see he was Mr, Spider-Man about 2 hours later 😂. I wish I could do that after a crash 😊.
Been there, done that! My childhood hero was Evel Knievel. Used to jump all kinds of stuff when I was a kid on my Schwinn Stingray. Broke both legs (on separate occasions, 8 & 10 yrs old) performing stunts. My parents took my bike away after the second crash. 😆 .....but I'm MTB'ing in my late 50's now. Never lost my love for cycling.
This is how we all learned to MTB, the best thing is that you were there when the first crash inevitably happened. Glad he recovered quickly, kids are remarkably resilient.
What an AWESOME kid!!! Athletic, intelligent, and so brave. He must have an awesome mom !😂...and his dad is pretty cool too for sharing his love of mountain biking!
Sorry you guys went through that! Glad he's ok, have seen some bad wrecks there. I do think he should be sticking on the greens, there is plenty of speed and features for his age and skillset. Consequences are too high to risk it.
oh that little man, that broke my heart. I can't imagine how you felt. But like I said, looks like a case of getting really scared for the first time. I'm glad he's good! BTW, he was ripping up to that point!
Man, I could hear the joy in your yell when he was shredding those trails. Proud dad moment to a low point when he crashed. Scary moment for sure but wont stop him I am sure.
He's just fine and was back on the back after a week. He's riding a Rocky Mountain Growler Jr. I'm planning on doing a video on it soon. The geo on the bike is the closed thing I found to a scaled down adult enduro-ish bike (in a hardtail). The front suspension isn't awesome, but it does absorb bigger hits. Honestly, you don't want anything sophisticated when they're that young; you won't be able to dial in suspension for them as they are still learning, plus the rougher ride only makes them a better rider. The biggest thing I looked for was a slacker headtube angle and something long that provided stability at high speeds, which this thing has. This crash was the closed he's come to going OTB, but it still didn't happen. He basically didn't have the upper body strength to stay on the bike.
Great parenting! You took your 6 year old son down a difficult trail that the park rates as a blue flow and didn’t tell him about a rock drop. And before that, you took him down a black diamond rated trial. Not only setting him up to get hurt but also clogging up and slowing down the trails for other riders. Great job.
Ha, "this guy." My son has been riding trails with me since the age of 2, and he likes it. He wants to go back. I'm going to take him. He'll look back on his life and remember the biking, camping, fishing, and skateboarding adventures I took him on with fondness. Yeah, I call that great parenting. I'll take your words as a compliment. Cheers.
1. There was no " Black" trail in this video, I get around 500-600 miles in at trestle every summer, and the whole time in the video they were on blue or lower trails, not that it would be a problem for them to ride a black. 2. That bottom section of long trail where he crashed has multiple lines. That rock drop has a way around it, and the dad probably just blanked on it, thats ok. Also, the kids only going to learn by riding and picking his own lines. The dad was not "setting him up" to get hurt at all, he was letting his son experience and learn the sport the way we all do, by trial and error. 3. In no way were they "clogging up" the trails. Trestle has a comp team, and bike school for riders as young as 4-5 and they ride those trails all day, and the only trails with "no stopping" designations are black and double black trails. They're allowed to go at whatever pace they are comfortable with, and as long as they are following basic trail etiquette, (which they were) they're allowed, and should be on the trails just as much as anyone else. Grow up and stop picking on a kid on the internet because he rides better than you. And to the little man himself, you were ripping out there! Keep it up, you have an awesome dad. Soon enough he'll be racing to keep up with you.
You and I have completely different definitions of “perfectly safe”… This kid could have broken bones, to include his fragile neck - that’s why he’s still in a car seat genius. This kid just loves spending time with his dad and you’re going to get him seriously hurt forcing him into YOUR hobby. Then posting your child’s pain, with a 4x replay and slo-mo, just for likes and attention?? You should be ashamed of yourself. Grow up dude!
The patrol crew there is awesome. They take good care of us who crash a lot.
Yeah, some workers offered to call them out, but we were right at the bottom. The medics at the clinic were awesome.

The scream is a sound of horror. You have no idea if it's a small scrape or if there are broken bones. But they bounce back so quickly!

Kids recover so quickly! His new elbow pads came in this week and he's ready to get back out. 😀

They took your bike away! That's hardcore. I got into MTBing late in life but I love it. Glad I can introduce it to my son at an early age.
This is how we all learned to MTB, the best thing is that you were there when the first crash inevitably happened. Glad he recovered quickly, kids are remarkably resilient.
Yeah, I try teaching him "do this", "don't do that", but in the end he just has to experience it. ...It's not like he listens to me anyway. :)
@TheSaucyMTBr as a father of a 6 year old boy and a 3 year old daughter, I can 100% relate to “it’s not like he listens to me anyway”.
What an AWESOME kid!!! Athletic, intelligent, and so brave. He must have an awesome mom !😂...and his dad is pretty cool too for sharing his love of mountain biking!
He is an awesome kid alright. Mom does a great job sorting and filtering all the nonsense I throw at him. 😊
Sorry you guys went through that! Glad he's ok, have seen some bad wrecks there. I do think he should be sticking on the greens, there is plenty of speed and features for his age and skillset. Consequences are too high to risk it.
Yeah, we'll probably do a few green runs before we hit the blues next time.😅
oh that little man, that broke my heart. I can't imagine how you felt. But like I said, looks like a case of getting really scared for the first time. I'm glad he's good!
BTW, he was ripping up to that point!
I was pretty upset with myself to be honest, then the told me he was having a blast and wants to go back! Maybe next month.
Your son is a ripper! Those scabs are marks of courage and evidence of progression. Keep it up buddy!
Yeah, he's excited to get back out there (after his new elbow pads come in). The joys of riding definitely over shadow these rare crashes.
Get him on bigger wheels asap. Bikes for little kids suck. Glad the little guy is ok!
Saving for his next bike now. 24" wheels is going to blow his mind. :)
Man, I could hear the joy in your yell when he was shredding those trails. Proud dad moment to a low point when he crashed. Scary moment for sure but wont stop him I am sure.
Oh he's already excited to go back! He's got the mountain bike bug for sure.
6 years old and was destroying that trail! i definetly couldnt do better 🤣
I had him riding local trails on a strider bike when he was 2. He' s going to be out-biking me before I know it.
Hope he’s ok. What bike does he have? I need to upgrade my kids bikes

Was there not a smallest rental chesty for the kiddo? He’s wearing all his pads but the chesty……
Not a bad idea! Didn't think of it. I mean, I didn't think he was going to crash in the first place so there's that.

This kid rides these trails faster than most adult tourists that “clog the trails”. The trails aren’t just for fast riders!

@@noahmac3247 very well said. It’s always satisfying to see when someone who actually knows or has researched correctly rebuts a Karen comment.
😮😮😮😮
Im sad for your son 😢❤
Don't worry, he's fine. I got his permission to post this video and he 100% approved. :)
@@TheSaucyMTBr ok thank god
He’s okay 🙏❤️

We put kids in car seats because we send them down double black highways going 75 mph. Also, kids are made of rubber. Be sure to like and subscribe!
