We thought we’d seen just about every customization you could think of for a STRIDER until we ran across stew0511′s YouTube Videos! His son is the (seemingly) fearless test rider for the first ever electric STRIDER.

Talk about a lightweight KTM ~~motorcycle~~ motorSTRIDER!

Happy STRIDERday to you! Check out this fun video of Spencer having a great time with his biking partner, aka Fido.

I have no doubt that that Spencer will be riding a motorcycle very soon. He already has the sound effects down, plus he laughs off his falls.

Here is a creative video for Friday. If you can’t find a competition near you or the racing season is over…make up your own!

The double butt lift, the shout out and the 360 bench bump are but a few of Ilan’s signature moves. It is always fun for us to watch a STRIDER Rider progress. We’ll check back in with Ilan next summer to see what cool new tricks he has mastered and check his current ranking in the Toddler Games!

Like Father, Like Son: Follow The Leader

Here is a great video of Paxton on his KTM STRIDER following his Dad over objects in the back yard. This is a fun way to encourage your kids to try obstacles on their STRIDER. Going up and over patio stones, 2 x 4′s and off of small curbing will help your STRIDER rider improve there riding and balance.

This also has the added benefit of improving a parent’s balance while showing their kids that being out of doors on two wheels is fun! Whether you’re on your trials motorcycle, mountain bike or beach cruiser get out for a ride soon.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Strider Sports And USA BMX Team Up To Run Strider World Cup Races
Balance Bike Races For Kids Will Take To The Track At 2012 USA BMX Nationals

Rapid City, SD (December 26, 2011) — Strider Sports is proud to announce a new partnership with USA BMX for the 2012 National Series, putting Strider World Cup racing at every USA BMX National event during the upcoming season. Strider World Cup racing made an incredible debut at the Grand Nationals held last month, and will continue to provide toddlers and young children a venue for friendly competition at every 2012 USA BMX National.

Strider No-Pedal Balance Bikes are designed to be the first step in teaching children how to ride a bike. The popular Strider World Cup races are held on portions of the BMX track and often on smaller specially-constructed tracks. They give children ages two to five the opportunity to take their riding to the next level — from balancing to racing on two wheels! Additionally, a Strider Adventure Zone will give kids a place to ride their Striders and have fun at each race.

USA BMX Strider memberships are available for $25. The membership includes the racer’s first Strider World Cup race and a USA BMX membership card. Participating in a race at any USA BMX National will qualify the racer for the Strider World Championship in Florida at Sarasota BMX next fall.

“The Strider bike is a great learning tool and an awesome first bike for kids,” says BA Anderson, USA BMX CEO. “Incorporating Strider World Cup races into our series is a great way to get siblings of current racers or young children started on the track. We are excited to have Strider on board as a National Series sponsor and look forward to having Strider races at our events.”

Ryan McFarland, founder of Strider Sports International, says, “We think USA BMX is the perfect fit for our Strider World Cup races. After witnessing the passion and camaraderie exhibited by BMX racers at the Grand Nationals last month, I am honored to bring Strider into the USA BMX family. We have the same enthusiasm for racing at Strider and can’t wait to share the Strider experience all season long!”
