Dekker 239 Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) Thats hits home just how young these lads are.Speedy recovery for the lad. cant help feeling that 80cc is what kids under 16 should be riding, the scandanavians have done well out of that grade of racing too over the years.

BriG 0 Posted August 13, 2005 i sincerely hope George makes a full recovery without too much discomfort. With two sons racing, one aged 15 one 17 I have thought long and hard about the danger side of the sport. It does raise the question as to whether the young riders have been thoroughly tested on ability to react and put a bike down quickly when needed, it also raises the question as to whether it is right to put minors (and lets face it that's what they legally are) in danger in the first place by letting them race when they are not legally old enough to make their own mind up and truly understand the consequences. Plating and pinning young bones is not an ideal start to a potential career. It was also very scary when I heard of another young rider injured recently with a leg broken so badly broken that doctors considered amputating, I don't know how I would cope with that if it happend to one of mine. It does raise the question in my mind as to who we as parents and adults are satisfying bringing these youngsters to the shale, our own egos or theirs and I would suggest each parent of an under 15 asks themselves that question.

grasstain 0 Posted August 13, 2005 Having read the last post by BriG a few things spring to mind, Injuries occur in every sport, some bad and some not so bad, whether it is on a Sat riding speedway or on a Sunday with kids playing football in the minor leagues, Karate, Kick Boxing, Horse Riding to name a few !! The fact of the matter is this, we as parents support our kids in whatever they choose to do as long as They choose to do it. My son is a rider in the u15's and broke his leg back in january of this year, within a week or two of his injury he was already planning his return to the saddle. Whilst my wife and I were very apprehensive of this it all becomes clear whether they want to do it or not in their own time, It's a fact of life that some kids get tired of the same things and will ultimately pack up and try something else, but while they want to try these Dangerous sports you cant wrap them in cotton wool not expecting them to get injured at some time.. As far as the Ego 's are concerned we as a family were never into bikes of any sort it was my son who chose this path, i could easily walk away tomorrow and never think of returning to it again, but whilst my son wants to carry on riding we will continue to give him our wholehearted support in what ever he chooses to do..
