This is the position that I am in. I'm 14 will be 15 in 2 months, and well I am at a point where I am wasting my talent if I don't race. I was allowed to enter in 1 hair scramble so far. It was a time race and out of 273 quads (over 3/4 sport quads) anyway I got in the 10th fastest of times. I got the guts but I’m not allowed to race. This summer I was practicing jumping and got knock out for 8 hours with a helmet on. It happened right when my dad knew I was good enough to be competitive in moto X. Now that this happened I gave up mx (even though I ride with 2and4 stroke pro-am mx/tt racers alot) So I go out in my woods when I got better and I absolutely fly. I take my dad ridding one day and show him. Instead of being proud he gets really mad. I keep bugging my parents to let me race gncc. So that’s where I need your help! What would u guys do to let convince them to let me race? (Even though my dad raced dirt bikes when he was a teenager!) I break a lot of parts but no bones yet. What should I say? Any help would be appreciated!

say something like " out of life the one thing i wanna do is race gncc races" thats what i did and i will be able to race motox when im old enough

 

Flying400- Dude sounds like you are getting screwed. I wanted to race mx when i was 16 and my parents wouldnt even let me. Now that i am 18 i can but havnt gottn around to it. All the pleading in the world wouldnt change my parents minds so all i have to say is "good luck." Just my 2 cents

 

Next time you start talking to him about it ask him if he plans on letting you drive a car. Explain to him that alot more people die in car crashes everyday than people get injered riding quads
