    His 9 -10 age group all had a great showing and it was tight.. with 6 seconds separating 1st place from 3rd place.. he was a little bummed he didn't take 1st because he felt like he killed it.. but hey you can't win em all.. and there is no shame in his 2nd place run below.. also included a podium pic of the little guys as well as a cool pic of Ryan launching over the berm on the BMX track as a nice gap..

    Your kid is charging! It's cool to hear the spectators in the vid cheering him on.

    BTW, who is the kid who got #1? He looks very familiar.

    #1 for this race was Nathan Luna.. he's a nice kid and a good little rider.. he and Ryan are always tight.. it's fun to watch them attack the course

    I haven't ridden there in a few years, I forgot how long the wall ride was- I got tired just watching him ride it :)

    My son rides a Commencal Supreme 24 and another kid in his age groups rides one as well. I love the bike and he loves the bike! In fact there are a few of them spread throughout a few younger age groups. I also see Kona Stinky 24 also.. if they are riding 24 inch wheels there aren't a lot of options for a mini DH rig.. once the riders are old enough for 26 inch wheels the options are wide open..

    He will be riding in the Final in 2 wks.. come check it out Rox!
