I left that part out because I have not learned to ride one yet.... And I'm too fat for the kids to push me!

congrats! i know the cool feeling when you see them go without training wheels.

i started riding without training wheels in 1st grade so i was 6 maybe 7. my oldest, Zach rode without training wheels when he was 5 almost 6. then not to be out done, my youngest - ryan did it a week before his 4th birthday. he is 4 1/2 now and tries to ride his big brother's bike.

sad to say, i had nothing to do with this. one of our neighbors noticed he wasn't using the training wheels much, so she took them off. (my kids would go to a home daycare on our street after school). he took off and looked like easy.

Mom should have videoed the part where dad runs his ass off behind the kid so in case they fall you can catch them. That was my favorite part when i was teaching them to ride.

RG says "let em fall, chicks dig scars"

when the boy falls and breaks a leg......bone hanging out the side...........MR.RG says (in his fiercest drill instructor voice) GET UP YOU MAGGGGOOOT......WALK IT OFF........THATS JUST A SCRATCH SALLY BOY..........DO YOU HEAR ME??????


beside he had more pressing things to do like counting his money and pimping his ho's

That is funny actually, when he got home from school he asked me if I could take his training wheels off. I told him that I could but I wouldn't be able to push/run along side him (the whole broken back thing) - I figured that was the way that it was supposed to be done. I told him that he would have to wait until mom got home. He gave me the most disappointing look.... I thought about it for a few minutes and I found a way to make it work. I had him stand forward of the seat - in the "take off" position with one foot on the ground and one foot on the highest pedal. I said that he had to push down with the pedal foot and push off with the ground foot or it wouldn't work. All I had to do was give him a little push and off he went......

So he takes off and I immediately think to myself...... we didn't cover turning around or stopping so it was a matter of time before he ate it.. he fell over when he tried to turn and got right up.

I covered turning and stopping with his sister... lessons learned

And NFW on the on the matches.....

That's awesome - I remember my 1st time out...sadly for me, I went DOWNHILL! Needless to say, the end dismount was not pretty!

<------Tried to go off a jump when I still had training wheels. I still carry that same moronic mentality. Congrats for the kiddies, thats one thing they will never forget. Its great to see that you were there for it!!!
