Our Strider Rider!!!!

Rylee has been riding and racing BMX for sometime now and LOVES IT!! Boomer was working late and Rylee has practice on Wednesday. So, I decided to take her. We (Luke, Joslyn ans I) were watching Rylee practice. When the announce called all the Strider riders to the half point mark on the track and let them ride. Luke, who happen to bring his Strider, we did forget his helmet, but he wore his sisters BEAUTIFUL purple and pink flowered helmet...(I know, I know) His first race and he looked like that :0) 
I asked Luke if he wanted to ride, he turned to me with THE BIGGEST SMILE and said, "YES".
I was texting Boomer the whole time squealing with excitement that he got to ride the track. Thank goodness, Boomer was almost to the track and only missed his first time around the track.
We got some great footage. The first time around I was kinda being a LITTLE protective..and Luke kept telling me, "Mom, LET GO OF ME"....He raced the track 5 times and got better every time. The funny thing is Boomer and I took turns running with him and we BOTH about collapsed at the finish line :0) We need to work on our CARDIO!!! :0)

Luke is on the orange KTM Strider in the back.

Here are some pictures of Rylee...

(she is on the green bike on the end)

Here are some great footage of the event. Boomer and I are just laying our hand on his back, but he is doing everything else...we had to help him up the hills a few times, but, other then that he was doing GREAT!!!

On the video with me, Luke totally to the last hill by himself,

 it was so EXCITING!!!

For those who don't know what a STRIDER is..it's a bicycle with no peddles. They learn how to ride walking themselves around...it teaches them balance. It's basically bypassing the training wheel stage.
