Attn: Moto-Parents,
STOP YELLING at YOUR KIDS... stop yelling at the top of your lungs. Stop grabbing their handlebars while screaming in their face. Stop grabbing and shaking their arms or helmet chin area. Stop yelling at them!
The FASTEST way to make your kids SLOW is to yell at them.
The Fastest way for you to break up a parent/child relationship is to yell at them.
Your kid is not going to become, Jeremy McGrath, Kevin Windham, James Stewart, Ricky Carmichael or Eli Tomac by yelling at him. In fact, your kid will possibly struggle to become anything in life, for many years, once that confidence is verbally (or physically) beat out of him. Go give your kids encouragement and plenty of “Attaboys”!
It's a brutal sport as it is. It's a really tough hobby....and that's all it is, and forever will be...a fun SPORT/hobby that can be enjoyed for a lifetime, as long as it's FUN.
Your kids already put enough pressure on themselves. You adding to that flame DOES ABSO-F**KING-LUTELY NOTHING to make them a better and safer Rider.
Every couple of years there's always that one Dad... and that will probably never change on the grand scope of things... but if this message hits home to at least, ANYBODY, then it might just save your relationship with your kids.
Dirtbikes are meant to be fun. A day at the track with your Kid, and yes they are kids, are meant to be FUN. Yelling at them when they pull off the track & into the Pits... does not one single positive thing to make them a better Rider.
If your kid is not cutting it, to your expectations, go yell and bully an adult....any adult! Hell, come find me... but stop yelling at your kids.... They are kids... riding dirtbikes for FUN!
