Re: KiD StUnTeRs
I was going to post up in a previous thread https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=168801 that got started on Aaron's age and privileged life. I did not post up because Aaron answered the previous thread in his post https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/sho...42#post2284942 which I thought was perfect and did not require anything more to be said.
Since the rich comments are often repeated, I thought that I would finally post up and refer back to an original post I made a year ago on this thread https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=146117. This old thread is the first thread in which Aaron had ever posted any picture of himself to Stuntlife. In this thread Aaron was asking a question about a move that he was doing at the time and was wondering if anybody else was doing it, or if there was a name for it. Few people knew about Aaron at the time outside of Minnesota except for maybe T-Ice. Aaron did not mention his age in the question, but was asked about it in one of the replies. Almost immediately people started to comment on how lucky Aaron was that his dad bought him a bike. Since I knew that Aaron had bought his own bike, and that the story behind it was kind of interesting, I posted this message https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/posts/-/-a/1836162-post.html.
I really don’t think anybody is hating on this thread. The subject really is not that important, but because it is funny, I thought I would tell the story of how Aaron saved enough money to buy his own motorcycles when he “isn’t even old enough to work”……Aaron (don’t hate me for this Aaron) made his first big killing in Pokemon cards in the second or third grade! There it is, I said it! Aaron bought when the market was low and sold out when the Pokemon market was at its peak and just before the Pokemon bubble burst! I couldn’t believe at the time that Aaron could have been strong enough to buck the social trend when at the time every kid Aaron’s age would do anything in his power to get one more Pokemon card for his collection. But Aaron liquidated! making a perfectly timed trade right at the top. Eight months later, when the ex-Pokemon barrons were throwing themselves off the monkey bars at school, I knew that we had a business man in the family.
Aaron took his Pokemon profits and plowed them into every kid trend that came along after that. He MAGICed, he skated, he BMXed, rollerboarded, minibiked and at each level traded for profit and sold out to move on to the next big thing and up to the next level. Aaron bought and sold parts to everything, worked on everything, always had other kids hanging around his garage for repairs and sales of Aaron’s discards. Aaron is a natural born trader! Aaron helped his dad before his dad had a motorcycle shop and in summers filled in for his dad actually committing his dad to purchase prices on used bikes. Aaron managed his own investment money that he traded, win loose or draw, on everything he bought. He worked his way up to having enough of his own money to buy motorcycles, a broken down Triumph and ultimately up to his prized purchase, an F4i that he bought completely by himself when he was 13 years old.
I am not putting up this post to combat any hate, but to put out this other little-known piece of the story that still amazes me! Also, I thought that maybe I could add one more thing to the discussion…
If Aaron is an example of anything, it should be as an example of how far a kid can go when whatever natural talents he might have are allowed to develop with the support and love of people and family around him. It is not money! It’s just love and support, both the permissive and trusting kind as well as the restrictive and guiding kind. A kid should not be considered privileged if he has a lot of love in his family, but unfortunately, for some kids in our world, a little love and attention, might be seen as a luxury, and I am sorry for that.
This is probably the sappiest post that has ever been put up on this testosterone drenched board. But trust me, a little attention paid to this subject and America will always be strong.
Go ride Aaron!! You earned it!!

if you are paying $5k for a stuntbike your a retard......his dads shop does salvage repairables and CD frames......most CD stunt bikes generally go for aboot 1500, my set up stunt bike is not worth more than $2k.......besides that my father owned a construction company and i was clearly working at the age of 14.....i bought my first dirt bike with my own money at 15 so i don't think that its that far off......and your not hating keeping it real remart was pretty good except for the fact that you forgot to keep it real.......

Re: KiD StUnTeRs
p.s. if you ve ever hung out with the kid or get a chance to hang out with him, besides the fact that he looks like a kid that just hit puerbty, he doesn't act his age at all, hes a normal person and pretty much is one of the crew when he hits O-Town..........and he usually is the only one to help clean the house when the party clears.........

Re: KiD StUnTeRs
i'll be buying my kid his first bike (50 quad with a regulator) this coming summer, when he graduates 1st grade, as long as his grades average 3.2 or higher. honestly, as the years pass and if his love of riding increases, i won't hesitate to get him bigger and better bikes as long as his grades don't slip. i'd rather invest in a hobby that he loves than have him roaming the streets with god knows who like some of these little wannabe thugs, nahmean? so i give his parents props for supporting him.
