This kid really knows how to ride, very well trained just check out his launch technique. , and its only his 2nd pass.

Could be the next Rickey Gadson?

watch the second pass .....

I have 30 thousand miles on sport bikes under my belt and that would scare me. No way i would ever put my kid on a busa

I dont that is the only the second time on a bike.

very nice, Daddy must be proud. Did he almost leave the track though?

Its his second pass down the 1/4, not his second time on a bike.

Serious. Does a 12 year old really need to be on a bike that fast?

Hoog · 07-19-2008, 11:02 AM

That might have been his second full pass, but he's got more than a few launches under his belt.

How many people noticed the name of the track?

He seems to have it handled.

how many pro racers of any kind do you think started at 18? Even 16?

Most of them.

I think the whole "2nd pass" thing is the biggest load of crap.

No doubt that kid has talent, but he knows what he is doing, and has done it before.....

Yeah, on his first pass.

Can you personally verify that this is the 2nd and 3rd pass?

I will retract if so, but just looking at the way he launches, he has done it before, or learns very damn quickly.

Can you verify that it is not?

Dayum, its a 12 year old, look at the crowd reaction and his dad.

My God man, does anybody think the entirety of his instruction has been on a dragstrip? Of course not. I think it's quite reasonable to believe this is his second full timed pass. I don't think anybody is implying it's the second time his butt hit the seat.

It has an extended swing arm, so having to worry about wheelies is no biggie. Also just had to push a button to shift.
But yeah the kid probably grew up with dirt bikes, so he knows how to ride.
