the future......
of this sport is kids. Theres no going around it. While we were out in Japan we witnessed it first hand. A few of the guys from No Limit Japan had their kids out there all decked out in ICON rocking STREET MAGICS which is Suzukis version of the XR50 out in Japan but all they got is handbrakes. It was crazy. If people see that they can buy their kids a $1000 dirtbike to start out on then our sport will make it. Its no different than any other sport. Its not that expensive. They can start out on that and learn all the fundamental skills needed for the big bike. That will make it less likely that they will wreck there *** off on the big bike which makes it safer and more legit. It all makes sense. Take schooler for example. The kid is killing it on a CRF150. I ride with the kid everyday and believe me its disgusting. You gotta see it to appreciate the skill. Anyway the first time he got on my bike he picked up slow wheelies in like 20 minutes. He was even pulling in the clutch and clutching out to straighten the bike out just like the dirtbike. Now could he have known to do that if had never riden a dirt bike and learned the fundamentals? No way. Thats why I dont understand why people give motards so much ****. Its a good way to learn all the fundamentals needed for the big bike. Sure the big bike is a little more intimidating but if you know what to do in certain situations its gonna be a lot easier to figure out. The more and more I pay attention the more this sport makes sense to me. Now if we can just get past all the hating and shitty attitudes and work together we may just have something good going here.

Re: the future......
word..
low-power/low-enginebrake motards or dirtbikes are the best way to learn the art of stuntriding..
I got alot of examples of young riders jumping to a big bike who have been stunting 125's offroad bikes first. The progress is huge. I think it's dumb to put 15 year old kids on big bikes when It's alot safer and better way to learn with a small bike..
Joni tammela won his first competition after riding with a f2 like 5 times because he rode a 125cc motard before he started stunting the big bikes..
My friend Tatu 12'd my bike after riding like 20minutes because he stunted the **** out of 50cc offroad bike like 2 years ago and rode my old 125 a few times this summer.
And it's true I did 5 circlewheelies with a stock f5 with gearing on the second training session.. and did a one-handed circle on the third time
..because I had been stunting offroad bikes a few years
