:mellow: Well I took my son to his first event on the FM330 ... He DNF'd due to a carb condition , and fived almost everything ! But the Trials bug bit him hard and he can't wait for his next shot at it . ! Now to get him to understand that on a 50cc bike , the clutch is your best freind ... But he has been working on his balence and turning on the bicycle (fantic !) , as they feel quite similar !

Poor kid, thought dad would have it running right before! :wacko:

Bet he has a Beta 80 in his sights already!

Just trying to help you out, Glenn! :mellow:

Not my fault Copey !!!
Poor ole 50cc minerelli wouldn't stay running after a ungraceful "over the logs , hit the stump , jump the ribbons , lay it down to avoid the LARGE rock , all @ WFO ...!!" But he did get up off the ground with a smile and say " quess I fived that " We really got to work on some throttle and clutch control , At least he now understands that Trials is not like riding the old XR100 with the point and twist method . If my patience lasts , He'll learn some finesse . :D
