Looking for a bike for my son to learn to ride on.
Not too sure what I should be looking for....
Any suggestions welcome.
Or Pm me if you have one that's no longer needed.
Cheers Mike

Re: Dirt bike for an 8 year old
My best advice would be to buy him a trials bike and get down to Hookwoods. They are really pushing their youth training programme at the moment and are very active. It's a great way to learn and get a really good grounding in off road skills.

Kev, I would prefer him to ride Trials, but he's seen the mini MX type bikes PW80 CRF70 etc.
Will try to get him to Hook Woods, when's the best time/ day to have a look.

Kev,
Okay, Hookwoods is in the diary.
Well come down and have a good look round.
What are the chances of the little fella having a go, just round a field or something....

Hi i also will be there with my son for the first time. He will be on his oset. Your boy can try it for one lap if you want.

Most of the "children" on here ride 300cc 2/strokes.

Hi Billy,
I must agree with you there, I've noticed a lot of the big boys are riding 300 2 strokes, but I've also noticed some big girls riding 200 2 strokes.
Remind me again Billy, what do you ride.....
