No Training Wheels!!!!

Monday 18th October....

While I was away at the MotoGP - Rob had the kids .... on the Sunday morning (17th) Rob had to do some work - so he dropped the kids with Mom and Dad for the morning.... while that was all happening - Dad went and lowered Jade's BMX seat to the same height as the strider bike....

Jade had got up her confidence on the Strider Bike and knew that she could coast the bike and balance without falling off.....

So, in Mom and Dad's backyard on the Sunday - Jade was coasting her BMX down the yard - and then when she got to the bottom, she was pedalling the bike a little.... So, on the Monday morning (before I flew back) - Mom and Dad had taken the kids to the basketball courts to give Jade a go on a better surface....

This video was taken around 5pm (because Rob was there watching too).... BMX legend! You wouldn't guess that she'd only just started riding the bicycle with no training wheels that morning... (given that the little coasting in the backyard doesn't *really* count because she wasn't getting the complete ride happening)

Riding around like she's been doing it for years...
