With Dayton's growing interest of bikes I looked more into the BMX thing and found out there is actually a 5 and under class for him. So we did more research and found out there were actually indoor events here in Rock Springs. We jumped on the opportunity and took him out on Friday night. Dayton's first and second practice runs going down the big ramp he crashed and he didn't want to race on Friday night. So we took him out again on Saturday and he nailed it and never crashed! He was against a 5 year old and a 6 year old. He did great and we were happy with him getting 3rd place in all three heats.
On Sunday he was against a 4 year old and a 5 year old. In the first heat (the pictures above are the first heat pictures) Dayton held second place the whole time till the very end. The next 2 heats of the day Dayton took 3rd. He worked his little guts out.
Dayton loved doing the BMX stuff. He is really good at it and its nice to have him in a sport that he has chosen. Because he loved it so much we are going to invest in him a better bike made for racing so he wont have a disadvantage anymore and it will be talent versus talent.
At the end of the events they gave Dayton his plaques for 3rd place for both days and he was THRILLED! He couldn't wait to get home and show me where he wanted me to put them on his walls.
