Istarted taking my son at 4 & he did just fine-REv, he's now 33 & has owned a dirt bike since age 4-he's not 6' but he sure knows how to race anything that is dirt orientated-4 wheelers, jeeps, trucks & BIG DIRT BIKES.Oh, he's pretty good with the Bow too & we get out together several times & a trip or two now & then (Dad Pays).My grandson at 7 is still tough. Depends on the child.
