Evil Knievel Brothers

We had a great time up in the mountains this past Labor Day weekend, although the time flew by as usual. What did we do? What else? Get the dirt bikes out and tear up the trails! It would be impossible to head up to Smith's Ferry without getting a ride or two in...especially if my boys have anything to say about it. In fact, I would be a dead man if they didn't get to go on their ride. A couple of months ago, I ended up hurting my back, and we made a trip up to the mountains...unfortunately I couldn't ride...that is until I couldn't stand it anymore. I couldn't stand the looks of disappointment on their faces, so I hobbled out to the bike and took a 10 minute ride with them...needless to say it made their weekend worth it...mine too. :)




Ethan is in his 3rd year of riding and you'll notice in the video below that he's already trying to master the Superman stunt...granted he's on the ground, but his feet are behind him and off the pegs...little stinker!! He took a spill last weekend on a gravel road and ripped the hide off of his arm and has a raspberry on his knee...when we get a little gutsy, a gravel road will always keep us honest and bring us back to earth. ;)



Ryan has ridden with me for the last couple of years and is about ready to get up his nerve to try out the little 50cc bike. He likes to try to start the little bike like Daddy starts his, but I don't think he's quite sure about riding on his own yet, but I'm bettin by next summer, he'll be ready to get after it! That's ok though, I like ridin with my little saddle partner!



Cheers!
