These pictures I added were my daughters first real ride after getting her Raptor for christmas. She rode it a lot around the house but this day we went to Broad River atv in Georgia. We put in about a 30 mile ride this day and it was real muddy on the trails. The smiles on her face say it all. Both my daughters went with me this day and I can't remember the last time we all got along so well while wiping the tears of laughter from our faces. My oldest daughter spent most of the day playing catch up. I have a feeling the old man has met his match with this one.

Proud dad,

Nice pics, these can usually be the best rides ever. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I know the feeling. That raptor is a tough little quad. We've had our for over 3 years without any problems.

 

Good times. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

And the memories they'll have of that are priceless too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I can appreciate your story. My daughter races a mini quad and it is a fun family hobby. I never care what place she finishes, I just look for that same smile you talk about - and it makes my heart melt! Kids grow so fast. When they get older, they have a tendency of ditching the parents and going with their friends. This hobby allows a great family bonding experience and great memories! Have fun and enjoy!

 

Blazer25,
I'm with you all the way. My oldest daughter is 22 and the day I took these pictures she rode with us on my wifes prairie. I was amazed that I was able to talk her into going (because, of all the important things she has to do that I would not understand!) After this ride all I hear around the house is when are we going again dad. I guess it took my youngest girl poking fun at her to inspire her enough to want to go at all. After all my wife and I have been riding for years and the option for everyone to join us has always been there before. LOL

Man that's awesome. My boy and I have been riding for a while now, and have introduced my father in law and brother in law to the sport. Now my girl (7) has been yard and back woods riding for two years now and I feel that now with her experience and her height(no longer able to safely steer her 50) it's time to move to a 90, and hit the trails. She's daddy's little girl, and gets upset when she can't go with us. I can't wait, but not going to rush. I still have "MAMA-SUPREME" to deal with.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
