Kid ragdoll's around the 20 second mark and dad stays calm and cool. By the end of it the kid is ready to go again. They really are invincible with the right person behind em. WOW.
Thought I would share it.

Good for him, and he got back on and kept going.
Needs to teach the kid to yell "yard sale!"
Good job dad.
Just before that turn, I was thinking, wow, that kid's flying. Did a nice number on the bars.
When my youngest son was the same age, riding exactly the same bike, I was following him on a motocross track. He was going way too fast, and got so out of shape, he was pretty much going WFO down a whooped out straight, legs flailing in the air, the back of the bike going side to side, I thought he was toast. I don't know how he saved it.
Gravity doesn't apply until you learn that it's a law. Before then you can do anything!
I dont know if this makes me a bad person, but if that was my kid I'd probably laugh a little too, after I realized he hadn't broken anything.
Hollister was the first place I want to ride with my dad, about age 13 and the first time I was riding a 200xr honda. This was also the first clutch-driven motorcycle I had, and I practiced a bit going around in the backyard.
That practice didn't help me, right when we started my dad took off and I got anxious to catch up...and DUMPED the clutch. I just remember holding on and hoping there weren't any other trucks in the parking area, because I couldn't see where I was going
