Dirt Bike Riding

Bought some used gear for the boys and pants and gloves for McCall. We are ready to ride this summer! Below is our first trip of the spring.

Our family sport for the last few years has been dirt biking. Dustin has been into it for many years now. I took over Dustin's old bike several years ago when Dustin thought it was time for a cooler bike. In November of '09 he came across a deal from a friend that he just couldn't pass up for a used KTM '07. For a while there we had three adult bikes! Ya, just in time for our move back into our old house! In February we finally sold my Yamaha '04 and Dustin's Honda '05.

The fall of '08 Andrew hopped on a little 50, when we were up in the hills, and loved it. Did just as good as riding his bicycle. Then this spring we went out with some families who had a 50 and we let Andrew and Jackson take a shot at it and they both did great and loved it! So we decided to get the boys something to ride and make that our family sport. We bought a small 4-wheeler for the kids and traded some work for a kids 70 dirt bike. We took our first ride as a family memorial weekend up towards Plaserville outside of Horshoebend. We set up a camp and played around till almost dark and headed home. We brought up Quizno's for an early dinner and cooked up cup-o-noodle for dinner/snack and roasted smores! Andrew took the dirt bike for a few spins and Jackson tried to. This bike is much more powerful than the two 50's they were used to so Jackson had a hard time on it. He mostly rode the 4-wheeler. Me and McCall played around camp.
