Its a very cool sport. We have been over to the p'tree city track and watched a few races. Hopefully we can get my son going with it soon.I think he could have fun and be good at it.

Its a great thing for developing kids. Being an individual sport, its ALL on you. Win and you did fantastic, lose and you learn to deal with defeat and learn from your mistakes.
Not to mention its crazy time consuming so it'll keep him out of trouble and in good shape.
How old is he?

He will be 8 in June. I think it will be good for him. He's very athletic but gets bored easy. He's played soccer and football but says its not fast enough for him. Hes always riding his bike and trying to jump stuff, he says he wants to be a red bull stuntman when he grows up,lol.

Go ahead and get him into it. There are many kids younger than him racing, so he shouldnt have a problem. It can get pricey later on, once he gets deeper in it but intially it shouldnt be bad

Haven't really rode much in years. My first bike was the old school huffy with the banana seat. It went into storage when we went overseas. That is when I got into bmx, with a diamondback. It was soon stolen and then replaced with the beautiful mongoose blue max. It had the chromoly frame, aluminum waffle mags, and blue tires. The grips were replaced with some that we called cobra heads, because of the shape of the end. Then came a 3 piece crank setup with shin mangling beartrap styled pedals. I kept that bike for years, before selling it. Wish I still had her sometimes.

I bet I'm the only one with a Ross.

A buddy had one, it was one of the earliest mountain bikes, man it was heavy, but he sold it on Ebay as a collectable for good money.

Well... I was a BIG BMXer during the early to mid 80s. No trail bikes, but I had a $1,200 Hutch Trickstar (they stopped making them a long time ago) that I built from scratch. It's amazing what you could save up with grass-cutting money! And yes... that is me.

I had a Torker 280x.
