beacuse you werent put on a bike before you could walk, exposed to the modern bike community before you stopped using diapers, and given the latest kid bike technology. dont worry its just something called life =).
this kid is the beginning of a new level of mtb. cant wait to see what he can do when he starts riding 26" wheels
Helps when your father runs Whistler Bike Park too! Seeing this kid shred Brown Snake from the chairlift blew me away last year. Definitely part of the new level.
Top reason probably being that falling hurts so much more when you're fully grown. Gravity is less forgiving when you're an adult.
But yeah, I don't even know if you could get a bike this sized with a properly fitted suspension fork. That is a bad-ass bike.
He's a very lucky kid, hundreds of hours in the foam pit, free lift pass every season, spent more time on a bike than most adults, pro coaching... He'll probably burn out when he hits 16, gets a car, discovers alcohol and finds a girl
Hes so good because he sticks his tongue out to concentrate just like Michael Jordan did when he dunked from half court lol. This is pure awesome though!
Come on guys, a little less hating on the kid wouldn't hurt. Obviously growing up in whistler and having the type of access he does doesn't hurt, but let's not take away the fact that even for a kid, he's put a lot of time and hard work into progressing his riding. I think it's awesome to see. Anybody who has been to whistler knows how much progression can be had in just a weeks time. Imagine if it was your backyard.
Well at least me and him have one thing in common, the sticking out tongue concentration face! Shame the same can't be said for riding though! Little pinner!
Man, he has already met the love of life, soon to get signed/sponsored, turn pro, live the dream, and retire, all before he is old enough to celebrate it !!! Hope my son grows to love shredding as much as we do!
The problem is, Juanito is not from BC and he dont have a flashy-pro-dialed-sick-bike with a cool-trendy-flashy-rainbow gear with cool-brand-stickers on the helmet.
