sg i was thinking 13 is a little to young to be riding in the 250's but now that you say he is on a thumper so he races in the 125 class.

Just got my 11yr old involved down at Elsinore at the Saturday series. He is having a blast racing his yz85. We have him in the 1st time beginner class. He was soo excited two weeks ago when he got his first trophy (3rd place). If you guys are ever down there look us up. White lifted Chevy 2500 w/ YZ 85 #427. Jeff and son Matt.

It's cool that all your kids race. I want to race go-karts but it takes alot of money. I dont think im good enough to race mx anyway so I'll just stick to the little trails in elsinore. :D
(I know I'm good enough to race karts though :D )

Thats part of the reason I cant. I used to race BMX but after a while, the drive became too much for my parents. So far to go from mission viejo all the way to riverside co.
It's okay though, I'm moving to murrietta. Theres riding out there everywhere

I dont think im gonna race. I've never looked into racing mx seriously and I haven't looked into organizations and classes really. My bike right now isn't much of a race bike, It's an old suzuki 100. It runs great though. My dream bike(as of right now) is a cr125. If I had that bike, I'd probably look into some sorta stock 125 class. I'd really like to get back into BMX racing in the ABA though. I enjoyed that alot.
