I just got my boys into riding as well. It does get expensive. I picked up a pw80 and then all the protection stuff that seemed to be as much as the bike. They want to get into racing as well. I just don't know the local tracks yet. I live out in Powhatan. Do you have any recommendations for a track suited for the little ones. Ive been out to disputana but that is a busy track and you have to kind of go the track pace. There getting board of just riding in our field and want to get on a track. Thanks,
