joe315r Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 If he is BMX mad, maybe that is his sport. Has he really shown any interest in wanting a trials bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackman Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I guess his son could always be an acception... but I don't know a single guy who didn't want a bike when they were growing up! Who doesn't love motorcycles!! But true, I see what you mean! However, he will soon realize pedaling isn't as fun as using something with an engine I'm sure!

tobster Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 my son, now 11, went from a year on a ty80 - enjoyed it enormously, did v well in trials etc, to a gasgas rookie this winter. he has found the jump in size quite intimidating. My elder boy looked huge when he rode the ty80 when he was 12. Soo, I would not recommend the ty80 for an 11 year old - clearly the only other option is a full-size junior bike. If he hasn't ridden the small ty80 then he won't find the modern junior bike large. Perhaps a Whitehawk would be a good alternative - nope on reflection, go for a 'modern' 70/80cc bike. that's it, my final answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
