I agree on the fact that you should allow your child to decide when he/she is ready to get on the dirt. Some people I know have little ones that go on trips all the time with their parents and it is in their blood to ride because they are so accustomed to it. Others I know have forced their kids to ride and after they got their first broken arm from falling, decided never to ride again. Riding pretty much scared them that they are growing up as introverts and not enjoying the outdoors. I believe that watching your children get use to falls and getting the idea of standing back up on their own is the best way to learn to dirtbike.

I am a current blogger with similar pro-dirtbiking topics and added you to my blogroll. Hope you do the same!

I think it's important to measure your own child maturity and control. I have two kids and the older one is not as mature as my younger one. I trust the younger one more to be able to ride sooner.
