six year old son in front of him and then taking control over the bike.\u00a0 The video has received a massive response from people who have either supported him or have said that he was being reckless.\u00a0 The child did have a helmet on, but didn\u2019t really have much else for protective gear.\u00a0 Many of the opponents claimed that the man was endangering his son, while his supporters understood that he was creating lifelong memories that they can share together.<\/p>\n<p>If you have young kids and you ride, you know how awesome they think your bike is.\u00a0 They beg and plead to go for a ride with you.\u00a0 When done right, you can take your child for a motorcycle ride that they will never forget all while being as safe as possible.\u00a0 If you follow these tips, your kid will have lifelong memories and be hooked on riding just as much as you are.<\/p>\n<p><a

The Gear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the market for youth motorcycle gear isn\u2019t very large.\u00a0 It can be fairly difficult to find good motorcycle gear for your child to wear on the back of your bike.\u00a0 But don\u2019t make that an excuse to not get the proper riding gear.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the most important piece of riding gear for your child is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denniskirk.com\/motorcycle\/kids-motorcycle-helmets\">youth motorcycle helmet<\/a>.\u00a0 Find a helmet that fits your child perfectly. \u00a0Don&#8217;t settle for\u00a0close enough.\u00a0 A helmet that rattles around on their head can be just as dangerous as no helmet at all.\u00a0 Small adult helmets may fit your child, but they weigh too much and can strain their necks.\u00a0 The youth helmet is designed to light enough and still offer good protection.\u00a0 If you are worried about your child outgrowing the helmet, you can find some really good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denniskirk.com\/hjc\">HJC<\/a> youth helmets for under 100 bucks.\u00a0 Some helmets can even grow with your child when you switch out the cheek pads.<\/p>\n<p><a

motorcycle jackets are fairly slim pickings, but the motocross world is full of youth protective gear.\u00a0 You can find high quality armor that your child can wear either on top of or underneath their jacket to keep them protected. \u00a0Also, motocross boots are probably the safest youth boots that you will be able to find for your child.\u00a0 Youth motorcycle gloves and protective pants should also be worn when they go riding with you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Set Up Your Bike<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your motorcycle may be set up for you and possibly an adult passenger, but a smaller child may find it hard to fit on the bike comfortably.\u00a0 If your child cannot reach the passenger pegs, it\u2019s probably a good idea to hold off until they can.\u00a0 Having a good foot hold will not only give them confidence and security, but will also help them lean correctly in the corners with you.<\/p>\n<p>If your bike doesn\u2019t have a passenger backrest, it wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea to add one.\u00a0 Having the backrest behind them will give them an added sense of security and give you a little piece of mind as well.\u00a0 A backrest that has armrests is even better as it adds a barrier on all sides of your child.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.denniskirk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dk397006.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"

Short<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good idea to\u00a0ease your child into riding.\u00a0 Go slow around the block a few times before you decide to head out on a\u00a0longer ride. \u00a0When you work them up to the longer rides over time, they will feel safer and more relaxed. \u00a0When they feel safe on the back of a bike, children tend to have more fun.<\/p>\n<p>A good indicator to tell if your child is having fun is to look back at them once you stop.\u00a0 If you can see their giant grin from inside their helmet, you know that you have them hooked and have a riding buddy for a long time to come.<\/p>\n<p>If your kid really enjoys riding with you, it won\u2019t be long before they want to take control of bike on their own.\u00a0 Check out this <a
