This dad reminds me so much of the man I knew as my “grandpa” on my moms side. He was rich, but loved glamis and had sand rails, quads, dirtbikes, everything. He looked very similar to the man in this video and he spoke like him, very nice but at the same time serious. “You remember how to shift right?” Supportive yet caring. This video makes me almost tear up from the dad and the way the kid is so awesome.

I couldn’t touch the ground while seated but that didn’t stop me from tearing across an open field at about 70 MPH. The owner of the bike was stunned to say the least.

Dude, that buggy makes some serious power up high. Getting the nose that far down and being able to pick it back up again on the fly? Your kid has some excellent motoring mojo, and that's one hot buggy. Nice ride. I popped a wheelie on my dad's ride at that age, but it was a tractor and the trailer was bogged down. No pads to reach the clutch, either: it was a lever on the dash.
