This kid is 10 but he placed 3rd out of a field of 13 overall (beating grownups and strong teenagers) in the short circuit mountain bike race at the 1st annual Nantucket Mountain Bike Rodeo.

    Great shots John.

    Watts/pound not total wattage is whats rules in mountain biking. That is quite a hill you captured him climbing. One must ride hills like that to really appreciate what it requires from the riders. Tough kid!!

    Too bad its not watts*pounds, then I'd be a winner! Laughing.gif!

    And to rub it in their faces, he even did it with that heavy bike lock attached to his bike during the race. What a jerk.

    A winner
    His parents should buy him new equipment if he keeps winning these things. He deserves a better fitting new bike, and a helmet upgrade. Heck, he might win all that at a race soon if he's this good.
