Starting at three years old they were both on an Oset electric mini dirt bikes.  Here are some great photos of Jesse and Bode decked out in Yamaha blue on their PW50 and TTR 90 respectively.

Their progression is moving along every day as they get older…but they both still love to ride Striders!

Our favorite quote from the Minirider Blurb…When you’re an old man and have no teeth (again) you can say, “I’m so old my first KTM had no motor, and to make it go you had to push it!”

Get out there and have fun no matter what your two-wheeled mode of fun is, and don’t forget to include your little two wheeled Striderers!

Ryan has either been very good this year, or he figured Santa might be too busy to notice the new KTM he bought himself right before Christmas.

The best thing about this amazing motorcycle is that it will match the new KTM Striders that have been tearing up the trails and dirt parks all over the globe!

Warning: Great review followed by a video with some nasty trike/training wheel crashes.

“We bought two Striders for our 2.5 year old twins who had been really struggling with trying to peddle a tricycle. Within a couple of days they were zipping down the slight incline on our gravel driveway, and really balancing with no adult training required.

We saw them crash many times trying to negotiate riding a tricycle, but they really learned to balance quite easily on the Strider bike. It is well and thoughtfully engineered, strong, but light in weight for small kids.
5 out of 5 stars!  Highly recommended!!!!“ — (Jay in Ohio)

Found some cool photos of Nick this week, he is a Strider racer/rider from Washington State.  This past summer he rode in the kids race at ‘Bavarian Bike and Brew‘ in Leavenworth, Washington.  His Dad had this to say about the start to his illustrious racing career, “He loved it! He even did 3 extra laps past the cheering crowd in the Beer garden. Gotta love fans!”

He started off the day with a nutritious breakfast with cow and Bert.

A little late morning Pre-ride with Mom.

Quick nap before the big race!

Staring down opponents as he gets ready to start.

It seems like more and more racing venues are adding fun events for the Strider crowd.  Make sure to find one in your local area, they are a great way for your kids to have fun and connect with riding buddies for the rest of the year.  Our home base of the Black Hills has Winter and Summer fun, both with festive atmosphere!

Strider riding, travelling the world and being awesome makes JoJo one of the busiest 3 year old we’ve ever known!  Last time we peaked into the jet-setters world he was in Rio riding his Strider and turning heads.  He’s still turning heads, but now he’s getting attention from the Italians and their pigeons.

JoJo also had a chance to get together with Adrian from “Team Strider: Slovakia”
