Previously Unrecognized Benefits of Young ATV Riders

Filed in archive News on January 17, 2008

I know, I know, I'm always talking about kids and ATVs. I usually talk about safety and training or exposing the lies often used by the anti-ATV crowd to try to get kids banned from ATVs.

Not this time. This time I'm talking about the academic aspect of riding. There's a kid named Caleb Keen who has been racing ATVs since he was about 4. Now he's almost 11 and he just won a geography bee at his school. Because of his travels to different events and his associations with other racers from around the world, Caleb has become a natural when it comes to geography.

There are many things that young riders will benefit from, and this is just one of them. Congrats, Caleb! Keep up the good work and the inspiration you give to other kids, including mine!
