Fox Rider 4 (yes I am a girl) has not been riding for 8 years. She just started 3 months ago. She came to YA asking what quad she should get. Then she asked about riding gear. Then she asked where to ride. Then she asked about requirements for trail riding in the State where she lives in. She is your age and has no more knowledge than you do. She seems to be making a bunch of people mad lately. She sure does like to cuss people out. She shouldn't be taken seriously. I never take her seriously.
Yes, it matters what kind of bike you have. Kids your age have a tendency to hop on bikes too big. And they get hurt. Only one size bike fits you. Your age, height, weight, experience in riding, and type of riding you do determines what bike fits you. Pretty soon the government will be telling you what size bike you can and can't ride.
Because of so many kids riding bikes too big and getting hurt, the federal government is stepping in. They are making it illegal for anyone under 12 to ride and they will be telling kids age 12-16 what bike they can & can't ride. You can thank all the irresponsible riders for that. The ORV community is fighting that bill and there is a delay on that bill going through. But it most likely will go into affect in 2011.
Basically, in most cases, a kid your age should have a 4 stroke bike under 200cc or a 2 stroke bike under 125cc. To ride legally on public land, you have to have an exhaust system with a spark arrestor and it has to be quieter than 94 db. Legally, you cannot ride on private land unless you have written consent from the land owner. Kids under 16 have to take a riders safety course and receive a certificate from that course. Kids under 16 cannot ride without direct supervision by an adult. Most states make you register your bike and have a trail permit sticker for riding on public land. I am not sure about Oklahoma; most of my riding has been east of the Mississippi. You can find out how to register your bike and State regulations from your local BMV and your State DNR. You can also contact the National Off Highway Vehicle Conservation Club for information on rules & regulations and where to ride. www.ohvcc.org

Does anyone else think that kids having a cell phone at age 8 is too young? It was annoying to buy, but my?
Lei Back a
other half decide to tell and get my daughter and his son (both under 9 y.o.) cell phones today. It's done and over with - committed to another 2 year contract, but I feel they are too young..I mean who are they going to talk to?? (and the kinds we got them weren't 'firefly' ones) They do go back and forth between us and both our ex's homes, but they won't be bringing it with them.
We have established the rules to keep them (i.e. keep grades up, doing chores and continuing to obey without 'attitudes', etc.) so it'll be interesting to see they're reaction to have this responsibility (or how long before they lose it) but it seems like a waste of money. I told my other half not to get all pissed off when/if they lose it, cuz we'll still have to pay on it (that would really suck) What do you think?
Answer
I think if kids are taught to use their cell phones properly, it is okay for a child that age to have a phone. It sounds as though by establishing rules, you have a very good start. We got our son a cell phone around that age, and he has been very good about following the rules - we try to stay consistant about expectations. We have found it is a good tool for him to have - for example, when he rides his bike around the block, he carries his phone with him. If he is at a friends house, we can call easily when it is time to come home for dinner. We do not allow him to talk on the phone with friends for extended periods of time. He has had his phone for over two years now, and we have had no issues with it getting lost or being misused. I hope it works out for you :)
