Been here, done this.....
This very video has been debated many times, both here and on other forums. It's a hot topic with people having strong opinions in both directions.
I'll just say if it was my kid, he'd have a helmet on.....but I've never owned a rail, so I'm not an authority on the matter.

And I will probably let my 9 year old drive the rail. If he can pull wheelies then I hope I have a video camera and post it on the internet so all the handwringers can tell me what a bad parent I am. :D

9 yr old or not, good throttle control to keep it going that long.

That's what I thought!! It also sounded like the dad had taught the kid a thing or two about the transmission and shifting sequence! I haven't done that with my kids yet, but they have both ridden in a race boat at almost top speed!

I agree. Not only is it endangering the child but others as well. A 9 year old can not make a rational decision if something goes wrong.

That was a pretty good wheelie. I did not see any other people around for the most part. Not like it was done during a holiday weekend or something. If the kid was raised around it from birth and a bright kid, I dont really see a problem with it. The no helmet is defiently questionable.

Give the Dad a break about the helmet. He was probably drunk and didnt even think about it, no big deal...geeeez. :devil:

You could say probably with 90 percent of the drivers on the road. I didn't start doing them until 10 with my dad in the rail.

Damn...that is a long wheelie...on the freeway...with no helmet. Classic.
On the video, he holds that wheelie from 1:30 to 5:16...and a red light stopped him...go figure. :D

Can somebody answer me a simple question?
Why does the kid need to wear a helmet when he's in a full cage?
Do you wear a helmet driving your car?
Or better yet, lots of people own rails on here.. I only know one that for sure where's a helmet becuase of a recent story.
Who here wears helmets while driving a sand rail?
99.9 % of the people I see driving them (myself included) don't?

My family and I wear a helmets 100% of the time, kids also wear neck rolls. At the speeds were traveling, I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Although most adults would be safe in the car in that video without a helmet, that kid wouldn't be. For one, the belts don't fit him, pillows had to be used as a booster. I would guarantee that the belts couldn't pull the kid back snug in the seat.
For what it's worth, the kids dad wadded up that car in a very serious accident a few years after that video. Came very close to killing him, was disabled for a very long time. Accident happened doing high speed wheelies at night, loose belts and hit a big sand mound coming down from a wheelie that sent him cart rolling.

Why does the kid need to wear a helmet when he's in a full cage? When a rail rolls it has the effect of a blender on those inside.
Do you wear a helmet driving your car? Sometimes when I drink too much.

Who here wears helmets while driving a sand rail? We do .01% of the time.

I agree with you that 90% of the drivers are not capable of making rational decisions but they're still adults. He put a lot of people in danger. I also agree that the parent should have at least been in the car but it still wrong.

like bohica said, his dad is making a bad decision just from a safety factor go anywhere like maybe a drag strip and tell them your kid is going to drive who is nine but you have to put 3 peices of loose foam so he can reach the pedals and wheel.It is cool to see a young kid have the balls to do it but not wonder how cool it would be if the kid killed himself or someone.
