Upgrading to the 250cc.

I taught Brynley how to ride the 250cc quad last week. It doesn't have a clutch so it was fairly similar to doing the gas on the small one. I sat on back for a while as we rode around a dirt pit up the street where there are lots of trails at the base of Mapleton Mountain. The first thing she did was go up a little hill that she had just gone up on the little 90 quad. When we got to the top (about 5 feet), she was so used to the little quad and having to give it tons of gas to make it up, she kept her thumb on the gas and ended up riding a wheelie for about 10 ft with me on back. But... not for long, she ended up throwing me off the back and I landed in the dirt on my back. The quad stopped vertical on the grab bar and she was hanging on to the handlebars. I hurried and ran up to her and pushed the quad back down on all fours. She was a little scared and started to cry and didn't want to ride it anymore, but not wanting her to be afraid of it forever I told her I'd give her $5 if she'd ride around on the flat ground. It took some coaxing but she did, and loved it. Uncle Sean was laughing pretty hard. Then when we went home, she rode it around the house (while grandpa wasn't there). She got the hang of it and didn't run over any kids. She's a really good rider and listens to all of my instructions. She's very safe and always wears a helmet. Here's some pictures and a video.



Here's a couple of pictures of my elbow from when Brynley threw me off the quad. This was 4-5 days later and was starting to drain.
