Fantastic pics and video!! What a great safe place for the little ones to ride and learn. Nice to see that many all together so they can have the experience of riding with others and dealing with traffic as well as the terrain.

Cool deal all around.

What's the story behind the '67 Camaro?? I have a '72 collecting dust in a garage... :( I need to get it running again.

My sincerest thanks to Luc and Leonce for putting on a great ride this weekend and again to Troy for hosting the site that makes these meetups possible. What a great group to ride with.

Griffin said on the way home "Dad, Leonce and I think we should do this ride once a month. When is it going to be next month?" He was very excited to learn that was only 5 days away.

See you all again soon!

Quinton (& Mrs.), THANKS for taking the photos! I really enjoyed looking through the Photobucket album. I sent the pic of my wife, Jodi, on the CRF 100 to her this morning. Moto-Jodi! PS: Are there any cupcakes left?! :D

Yes there is a couple on my fridge, but you'll have to fight LĂ©once to get them ;-)

No cupcakes left cupcake. :lol: No problem on the pics, its enjoyable for me. The better half actually did a decent job of taking pics, which is a huge surprise to me. I've been chopping up the video to cut it down to something that you all may actually watch. What I don't like about the video is I have a lot of video of Gavin and Leonce riding. Even when I set up the camera in the tree hoping to catch quite a few guys, gals, kids, not very many different riders went by. I was hoping to catch almost everyone so I wouldn't look like I'm just trying to make a video of myself and my kids ya know.

Daria and I were talking this evening and she brought up the idea of making T-shirts. Given this ride was focused on the kids I thought it was a pretty good idea. She decided to whip up a design. Lets see if this link will work...

AWESOME! Only thing wrong with the video is that you never see my awesome skill on my KTM 300! I did ride it that day, didn't I?! :lol: Love watching the little kids on the 50s tackling the obstacles!

What's with Leonce's "death lay down" when he wrecks? You can tell he is mad at himself for falling. I bet when we aren't there Luc beats him for dabbing a foot. :lol:

This is an awesome video!!! THANKS for taking the time to stitch all of that footage together! Sure does take a lot of time but result is great!
Now the part that blows me away is that the part where you use my footage looks way better than when I upload it to youtube, you must be getting preferential treatment ;-)

Epic! I particulary enjoyed the chase scene you did with Luc through the field in 2x. Leonce's "death lay" as Troy referred to it was a classic. I remember watching it like it was happening in slow motion. I love that Leonce capitalized on the opportunity for some quick R&R while the crash team arrived (also in slow motion). What great production! We have some awesome kids!!!! We're pretty awesome too.

Thanks guys!! The fast footage around the track wasn't me, it was Ethan on the CRF. You guys were movin'. I was laughing when I saw Leonce lying motionless unless Luc fired up his bike then he hopped right up. I was amazed to see the little ones going through the rough stuff. Good work guys!
I like hearing the 950 V-Twin in that one clip.

Are you guys able to see the shirt design?

Yes design looks great! Personally I'd rather spend some $ on some professionally printed pictures of the day. Is that something you and Daria would be okay for me to do, there are a couple of cool shots she took that I am sure his grand parents would love to have.

If we make it a regular event then why not, maybe we could even find sponsors to pay for the teeshirts ;-)

More cool pictures from Savage's camera. I think no events will happen without Daria, she has such a good eye!
