My 12 year old weighs like 75, small guy, and rides like a maniac. You should see my Quadracer fly across the sand with him on it.

I don't know. Alot. 5,6,7,8? LOL. Me and my bro are dead even in those races and my 100lb son (he's only 12) gets on and well, you saw.

Thanks for the offers to ride the quad, but as you can see I have my secret weapon for some of those pesky shees, bombs and raptors and now it would seem yfz's LOL. Trust me, I have on more than one occasion called him over and pointed out someone to go after. LOL

Shh, don't say the age so loud Shady [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. Some frown on a younger person riding a real quad. I've actualy had people question me about my sons riding my Raptors. It's all good though.

Thats a goal for sure. I can guarantee 20lb loss by just stop drinking Pepsi. Done it before. The other 30 is another story. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Sugar and carbs, that's where the weight is. Stay away from those two things especially after lunch and you'll be in fightin' trim.

I heard some guy built his Vforce up then has his 9 year old drag it for him. You could probably lighten it up so that with the kid it's back to stock weight.

Anyway, I think anything over 25lbs makes a huge diff. I have a large 300+ lb 6'4 friend with a raptor. He's not into racing. He looks more at home on his Grizz.
