You've seen the progression of my Eldest son (4 years old) on his quest to become the premier quad/motorcycle rider. He's come a long, long way in the last couple of years. From jumping over...

This is a short video, but shows a lot about the progress of my oldest son's riding ability. First a quick bit of history. My oldest son Cz is 4. He's been riding his bicycle without training...

You can almost see the excitement from under his helmet. Riding a quad is fun, but for Cz, the chance to ride on dad's quad is always a treat. Cz has spent just about as much time riding with......

Yesterday I posted a video of my youngest son (23 months old) learning to ride his electric quad with a little steering help from mom. Now it's time to see how that training paid off. It's...

I knew it was a sign of the times when my youngest son Aj started climbing on the quads by himself, before he could walk. He was simply not content to sit and watch his older brother have all......

We recently went to Ocotillo Wells on a camping/riding trip. We originally were going to go with the cousins and Cz's teacher and her family, but the cousins ended up going to Ocotillo to camp...

Earlier this year we took a trip to Gordon's Well. We brought Cz's gas quad with us, in the hopes he could get in some more practice in the sand. He hasn't ridden in sand too much on...

Cz does really well towing the trailer. I've got videos of him learning with an empty trailer, working and earning his keep by towing a trailer full of trash out, and getting ready for a desert...

The cousin's father has a banshee that he rides pretty well. Most trips to the desert, Alex insists on going on at least a short ride after the sun goes down. Usually it's pretty shortly...

While I really enjoy riding with Cz on the quads at the desert, in the early days he was on the electric quad, which barely went faster than a fast paced walk in high gear. It made it hard......

Part of the fun of riding quads is riding over things and riding on two wheels. With no suspension, it's sometimes hard to wheel over obsticles, but we manage most of the time. I've got a few...

Just about everyone likes racing one way or another, either watching it, or racing themselves. I love both. I'm trying to teach my kids how to race, but it's not always easy. I don't...

Cz's been doing pretty good on his quad towing the trailer. His first run with the trailer was when it was empty. He did ok, but had issues watching where he was going. His second run with the...

We usually ride quads for fun. It's great entertainment and the kids absolutely love them. (Well, so do I, but that's a different story). But it's not all about fun around my house. My...

Cz is riding his bicycle without training wheels now. He started this at 3-1/2 years old. He's pretty good, too, as you saw in this video. But even the best of us have our bad days. He looks...

Cz is taking good care of his little brother, Aj, and teaching him the ins and outs of safe jeeping. Aj sits safely on the floor (so he doesn't fall out at those high speeds), and Cz is...

Cz is really fun to ride with, but some times he kind of gets a bit too emotional. We all do it. I don't expect Cz to be any different. I guess it's all relevant to our age, both......
