Please tell me what the hell a funeral has to do with this.
Dont tell me this is another "I am the REAL Slim Shady!"
(see honda forum)

I dont see any reason why your little bro couldnt handle a blaster, if he has some time
on a bike. A manual-cluched bike?

I think he's asking if the blaster would be a "death trap" for his little bro to ride...this forum is really starting to suck...

I got my son a 325 TrailBoss when he was 10, He just turned 13 and has had a Raptor now for almost 5 months. He jumps it 40+ feet, rides as fast on the trails as I do, and is a very talented young rider. A Blaster is certainly as good a first quad as that TrailBoss was. So quit with the Funeral stuff, and spend some time teaching the kid to ride. Most bad accidents happen in the beginner stage no matter what the age of the rider, so get him through that. Follow him, and tell him what he's doing right and wrong. Have him follow you, and show him good lines through turns, etc. Spend some time with him, stress that he shouldn't go any faster than he feels like going, to always stay in control, speed will come with experience. Time's wastin', get that boy on a quad! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Well Blaster295cc, the only thing about a Raptor is the price. It is a bunch of bucks compared to a Blaster. But as far as safety goes, I would rather have my kid on a quad that is built for speed, than one that has to have a lot of modifications. The Raptors smooth 4-stroke power has no surprises, no hit in the mid-range like a two-stroke. Power is always available, so real throttle control is what you learn, not just all on or all off like underpowered quads. It handles, jumps, it is just really a great quad, with no bad habits. The only thing that is a MUST is the wider rear axle, which flattens it out in turns and eliminates the tippiness. LOL.

Slim Shady here I understood his post but I don't think I would write about my brother getting killed in the forums. PS he should be able to handle the blaster I have a 250R and I am 14 so someone 1 year younger should be able to handle half the machine. Good luck man.
