On Saturday, I took Hunter to the Redline Cup BMX race in Whittier .
It was quite a learning experience.
First round, he finished 2nd against a full group of 5 year old boys. Getting second in that race advanced him right to the main event.
So then the sitting around and waiting began. We waited hours for the main event.
During mains he came out of the gate quickly but after the first few bumps, another boy hit his tire and they both went down. So in the end he finished last! I was heart broken for him but knew that it would/could happen. It was just a matter of time before it did happen.
It was a really long day but a good experience. Hunter is one win away from moving to intermediate which will bring on a whole other level of competition.
Lots of decisions to be made...... Should we continue? How much do we want to do this? How much money do you put into it?
