Was that the same Kid that was on telly the other night ...ACA

sorry can't agree i think the parents are being absolutely ridiculous allowing him to do that at such a young age, the chances of serious damage to himself being lifelong at that age is tremendous. Not the same as mini bike MX. Is it good parenting!! Personal opinoin only

You only live once ! and you only die twice.

I'm with you Tossa, I reckon the kids parents are bloody morons, I'm interested to know how they got their 6 year old kid to do it, I can't believe ppl would risk the life of their kid to make money, the kid should be taking away from them as they aren't fit parents.

His parents can't even spell his name properly.....Jason.....every Jason I have ever known is a forkwit....think about it.....do you know a Jason that isn't a forkwit?....didn't think so....I rest my case...

A case of Child Abuse in it's own right - 'that's not a name, that's an affliction'. ;D

Gee wish my parent let me ride a moto when i was a kid, best i could do was lay 5 kids down on the road and jump them on my dragster, had the street record fro years till the Bmx craze came in and meant 8 was a starting number and i lost my nerve on th eold girl. But with and engine i could have been unstopppable...muuu hhhaaaa.....
now i get scared over a braking bump

3 time world speedway champ Jason Crump may not take too kindly to this stereotype Davey. Lets hope he's not a forum member :D
For the record I agree, the kid is too young and a disaster may well be imminent ;)

Have you ever meet a kid who has badly broken a bone before maturity? The rest of the body keeps growing and that bone either stops growing and then starts again when blood flow to the bone is reestablished, or simply stops growing. The probability for an accident might be the same as you and I but the severity can be far higher. The balance between probability and severity, a.k.a. good judgment, is something you would expect from an adult. 6YO's don't have that judgment and the parent is expected to provide that judgment, guide and protect the child - even from themselves and their lack of judgment.
And parents are expected to give their child every opportunity to reach their full potential.
I'm not condemning these parents but I would choose differently.
-
If that,s him in the photo then that kid is getting some serious air. :o
If it was my kid ?
NA.
Though what can you do ?
They just slip down to the park when you,re not looking.
I did. :)

15 minutes of fame… and a possible lifetime of pain [or worse].
Not really a decision a 6 year old can make. Time for his parents to do their job, whether they like it or not [bloody mini-bike parents >:(].
What's next - "Sorry officer, but my baby really did want to go sky diving. It's not my fault, what is a mother to do? I can't say no to my darling little junior!"
-
Little Jasyn* and his mum were on the Today Show this morning. The little tyke seemed a nice, normal kid for his age but his answers to Karls questioned seemed to have been rehearsed with his obviously stage blind mum. The mother had the audacity to say that what Jasyn was doing was "pretty safe" and aluded that what he did was normal for 6 year old kids.
Methinks Mum needs to find another outlet for her showbiz aspirations...maybe junior beauty contests for his sister. When asked what the grandparents thought about Jasyn jumping their Winebago, the little guy said that they thought he was cool.
That sets off alarm bells to me....I'd freak out if my 6 year old grandson jumped my Winebago on a mini. I'd be dragging him down to the local footy club and sign him up for a sport where he'd learn respect for authority, the importance of team work and that he's not the centre of the universe.
It's good that the kids a good rider but I wonder how Gramps, Nan and the parents will feel when it all goes wrong and he ends up in a wheelchair.
*This weird spelling phenonema is one of my pet peeves. For the rest of his life the poor little bugger will be spelling his name out loud every time he needs to give his name to an official or any occasion where you have to give your name vocally.
I have a friend named Tjayden (Jaden) who, even at the age of 35 still finds himself correcting spelling almost every time it comes up, and it still shits him. It'll be the same for my godsons gorgeous little daughter Skarlette (Scarlett) or the little girl three doors up from me..Roobee (Ruby). I just don't get this weird spelling thing. The parents (usually the mother) think its making their kids stand out by having a cool name but in fact all they're doing is sentencing their kids to potential ridicule at school and to a life of spelling out their name. I have a wee bit of experience with this being born a Firkin!

jeez Firko, try living with Worms!!!!!!! ;D
Cheers Mr Worms

We are on the same wavelength Firko, on both issues 8).
Scary for you eh! :-\ :-[

Yeah 'cause footy players are just perfect role models....... ::)

Footy players are just fine. Just don't mention; laying turds in corridors [or on curtains], group sex, bar room brawls, gambling or drugs etc. Apart from that, they are all fine upstanding young men. :o
Q. What is the most popular saying in footy?
A. I would like to apologise to my wife, to my fans and the Club for [insert description of bad behaviour here]…
They should get it tattooed on their foreheads to make life easier for them!! :D
-
I agree, kid's will do whatever the parents let them get away with, plus some.
The parents are the ones with the brains, but some should be newtered, I don't mean these parents but more like the parents of that little girl missing from Mt Druitt, I think her name is spelt differently as well.
I understand where you're coming from Firko, I've had to spell and pronounce my surname what seems like several thousand times.
One Jason that comes to mind is Akermanis.
P.S. I should add, I still hope they find her.

1974 l jumped a semi at the colac show grounds on my Husky Mag, mind you l was upside down, l would strongly say that l never wanted to do that silly stunt ever again.

Are you trying to lay claim to the first ever backflip?
-
Geez,
you lot are a bit harsh, my 6 year old boy has been riding his kx 60 for only four weeks, he has never ridden any geared bike and he is already power sliding out of most corners and taking small jumps in his stride. Are you all suggesting that if he keeps progressing at this rate I should somehow pull the reins on and stunt his riding growth? I will allow him to push as hard as I, and him feel safe. Now Im not saying that I would allow him to start hitting big air, BUT if the natural progression leads him that way and he is clearly talented then I would have to question what would be worse, pull the brakes on or allow him to ride within his means. The young boy in question has obviously been riding for a long time and could probably smoke most of us older guys around a track. Obviously parents should exercise extreme caution and be vigilant with there kids but to call them bad parents!!! well that might be going a bit far. Football is a potential deadly pass time according to channel Nines 60 minutes.

Im not a fan of getting kids riding so early (under school age) and giving them bikes as gifts which are considered a 'big expensive item' What are they going to expect to be given at 10, 12, 14 etc, let them enjoy the simpler things in life like riding a bicycle or playing with Lego or playing down down at the creek, or sand pit or something. Everything seems so rushed these these days and kids have everything so early on and dont learn how to make their own fun. You even hear of pre schoolers with mobile phones and TV's in their rooms ::) Times have certainly changed. Everyone has their own opinion on this and thats fair enough. The thing that makes me laugh though is where his mum says 'hes in tune with his bike'. I think 6 years old is far to young to be doing such huge jumps/stunts like that, 12/13 is a bit more acceptable to me.
-
I totally agree with kids needing to be just kids. BUT it isnt always as simple as this. My wife and I both have to work full time jobs now, so choosing a sport that allows him to go where we go on the weekend makes a lot of sense, Not just to me but in many peoples situation. and I certainly wouldnt allow him to just go down the local creek for a play by himself like we used to. you are right times are changing.
Brian
-
Yes i know what you mean about not letting them off on their own by themselves. Supervision is good. It can also be hard if you dont have a big backyard where they can spend hours building bike tracks and stuff.
-
I think the issue here is that a 6 year old can't possibly comprehend the dangers and consequences of this style of riding.
When a kid is old enough to make an adult decision - weighing up the risks and inherent consequences then sure, if they have the ability, let them go ahead. But you would have to have many long discussions about the potential consequences to ensure that they really did understand. You can rationalise it anyway you want on the Today Show, but I really worry about the motives of the parents. At best they are naive, and at worst they are opportunistic.
Do you honestly believe that if the worst happens and this kid ends up in a wheelchair for life that he will thank his parents for allowing him to proceed? It would be a high price to pay for 15 minutes of fame.
One last thing that worries me: who is maintaining the bike? Does his old man understand that it is operating way outside its design parameters and one mistake in preparation could end in disaster.
Good luck to him, but as I said before, what's next. If it is OK for a 6 year old, what about a 4 or even 3 year old. To follow the football analogy, if he shows promise then why not let him into the starting lineup for the Wallabies - he has the ability after all!! And we wouldn't want to hold him back… would we.
-
If he was racing or competing in gymkhana he would be racing against 6yo's and benchmarks set by 6yo's, even if he was advancing the benchmarks. Here he is 'competing' with (i.e.coming up to the expectations of) adults. And being gee'd on by an adult crowd. This will probably 'end in tears'. This will more than likely end in tragedy than not. At best you end up with a burnt out 'been there done that' 13yo ex-racer doing drugs :o.
The Kid obviously has talent and drive. Managed and nurtured we could have another Chad in 10 years time.

And a lot of his peers will probably end up on the news being cut out of cars or starring in the latest advert not to get into cars with other eighteen year old dickheads.
-
Confesion time. My father made my eldest brother wait until he was 21 before riding Speedway, as a result he had a pretty good career in England, even if it did appear that he had a death wish. I was indulged a bit as a youngfella and started riding Speedway at 15. My career was virtually over by 17 due to injuries,.
I don't think there is any answere but my own experiences make me err on the side of caution.
-

None of them at the age of 6 will get into a car driven by a 6yo and end up being cut out.
Different ages, different probs, different solutions, different parenting.
At age 6 the parent calls the short. At age 17 the parents influence is greatly reduced. Hence St Ignatius' (founder of the Jesuits) famous wisdom "give me the boy of six and I'll give you the man" ;).

What about the ppl that go to see that pore little 6 year old risk his life, I don't know about you, there's no way I could go there & watch that. would you go?
-
I don't know about you, there's no way I could go there & watch that. would you go?
Only if the mother did the jump first [to prove it was safe]. :o
Seriously, no I wouldn't go. I couldn't be part of the crowd that encourages this kind of exploitation.
-

NO. I would be twisting myself inside out with fear. It is a VERY strange parent, in my mind, that would put a 6-yr-old into a Crusty Daemons environment or attend and applaud it.
-
"CHILDREN under the age of seven will be banned from riding in the front seat of cars under radical changes to seatbelt laws to be adopted across Australia."
So if your 6 year old wants to a jump a motorcycle over a Winnebago make sure he sits in the back seat when driving him to the event. ???
-
In some ways I’m a paranoid parent and in others I get into trouble from the missus for letting my son get a few knocks to learn things the hard way.
But there’s no way I would be happy about my son doing those sorts of jumps at 16 let alone bloody 6.
The other competition seems to be bragging rights as to how early your child started riding. I held my son back as I felt the prerequisite was being competent on a bicycle without trainers.
We named our son Jaxom. We wanted something different form the usual John, Mark, Peter etc but didn’t want to be real alternative with names like Moonbeam, Riversong etc.
Yes he has to correct people with spelling as I have done all my life with Geoff / Jeff.
My Wife Kay is always reminding people not to put an ‘e’ on the end of her name so the spelling thing is something lots of people have to live with.
-
This is a very hard one in my opinion.
The kid obviously has very good eye hand control and has a very low fear threshold.
The bike is the right size for him and has good power to weight.
His folks are pumped at what he does and the Crustys think he is ok.
Now I learned to drive/steer a tractor at 4 and I've seen 5 yr olds operate some very large machinery, albeit with hydraulic assistance.
None of what he does is outside what we all do on race day except he is 6 and we're old(er).
The worst that could happen is he comes a gutzer as we'll all say 'I told you so'
However I've also seen guys ride along a roof-top in the Romaniacs race and seen dudes ride their mtbs along the side of a precipice where they would fall to oblivion with one puff of wind. So there is stuff out there that we would never do but someone will.
If he was to fly a plane at six-what would we say??
-
Personal opinion only Sorry i just can't get my head around people trying to justify this child is 6yrs of age and his parents are saying look at our son jumping over winnebago's and high intom the air. Unlike learning to drive a tractor (I think evey cockies child learnt to drive extremely early). This isn't junior mx this is extremely dangerous stuff, that if it goes wrong at his age, could ruin a very young person's life. he is dependant on his parents telling him this is a great thing to do son, there is no chance of you being hurt, yeah right!! His perception of fear and pain only comes from finally biting dust, not from a small mini bike MX but from 30ft.
Are the parent that niave as to the damage they could do to their son, by allowing this. We all ran out of the house and did bombies of the roof into the pool, got dared into the most stupid things,, I even fellout of a tree and through the roof of a shed and survived. but none of this once done with my parents blessing
Sorry I just wonder!!! Ithink they might just be worse than football parents!!!
-
That's where I was going to go next Tossa-at least he doesn't have his head in a scrum.
-

If that was the case, then this thread would be redundant. ???
-
Ok who dobbed him in! Tonight there is a special on ACA about how he’s been stopped from riding in the Crusty Demons and doing stunts etc. Saw the ad last night. Sounds like some ‘parenting’ or ‘welfare’ group got wind of it and decided to step in and say this is just not the thing a 6yr old should be doing.
-
i recall watching a 60 minutes show on the crusty demons type wankers. yes wankers yes there is some skill involved but more like lets hold the throttle open and see what happens but i digress 60 min was showing these 14/15/16 yr olds doing this crap (it is not motorcycling it is stunt work) parents saying its what little johny wants to do etc,the reporter asks what about the danger,getting hurt paralyised or even better dead .the parent says oh we couldnt possibly stop him from doing it.any way a couple of weeks later said 15 year old was either paralyised or a vegie and then they expect sympythy for doing a very very high risk activity.yes we have all done stupid things,some of which i hope my son never finds out about :D.but with age you can judge the risk factor something a 6 year old will never be able to do.
-
There is absolutly no justification to allow a child to do this kind of stunt and should be considered child abuse. What happens when he (lets hope not) becomes a cripple? You can bet the motorcycling community will be the one footing the partial blame for allowing it to happen. FMX is a freak show that should be confined - as it is - to fairs and carnivals. Yes there is daring and some skill but there is also a trail of broken bodies left behind that someone has to clean up.
I strongly disagree with it in the MOMs however I understand that having controls in place make it safer for the riders so I accept it. I dont agree that a kid should be involved and hope that someone in MA stands up and prevents it from continuing additional to what I understand Crustys have done in not having him at their shows - bet the insurance guys freaked out at the thought.
The kid probably has a great future in MX - let him do that. Let him follow the pathway.
-
I didn't see this story (I don't watch ACA or TT), but like most of the other parents here I don't condone this activity. I daresay most of the people cheering him on at these events don't have kids of their own!
I felt the prerequisite was being competent on a bicycle without trainers
Agreed. That's the measure that I am going to work with.
As for the names, well I understand your sentiments Firko, but I think the spell-checking will become more prevailent regardless! For example, parents from non-Anglo backgrounds no longer feel pressure to Anglicize their kids names, which is fair enough, so in my kid's class there are all kinds of interesting names! I don't know how the teacher remembers how to spell all of them!
The alternative spelling of existing names and stuff like that wasn't for us, but each to their own I say.

-
Tex, its on ACA tonight, it hasnt been yet.
-
The WA dept of Child Protection has banned him from performing in perth. But no other state yet!!!
-
I would have liked to have heard their side of things on the segment. You could tell it was the mother wanting to go on there to say her boy has been hard done by.
-
Quote from the mother "try telling your 6 year old hes not allowed to do something he's wanted to do since he was little, you're destroying a little boys dreams"
...WTF!! I can't believe how brain dead the world is becoming ::)
you can see the ACA program video here http://aca.ninemsn.com.au (http://aca.ninemsn.com.au)
-
What a load of shit.....people like that shouldnt be allowed to breed.
-
The kids is being paid for the PR value - and Crusty Demons are getting it in spades ;).
-
when he was banned by the WA Government from riding in perth. The parents asked the question"are you saying we are not good paernts" mmmm let me think!!!!!!! Lets see lets put our 6yr son on a motorbike and get him jumping over things., then show his prangs on youtube. I haven't found them yet.
-

OMG, that didnt look good, tossed off like a rag doll. Those a real big jumps for a little kid on a little bike. Didnt his mum say last night hes never had a crash or come off ??? ::) The more i think about this the more disturbing i find it.
-
I broke my arm when I was five I fell off a swingset your bones aren't fully developed then and if you do an injury at that age it might make you prone to have it again later in life or worse.
That is being a bit neglective as parents he doesn't have to miss out on riding he just shouldn't be doing massive jumps.
-
I would have thought if you really loved your kid then there would be no way you would let them be in an unecessary high risk dangerous situation where there is a very high risk of serious injury.
-
Natural selection.
-
whats the difference in doing this and letting your kid race...nothing the chance is always there that someting bad can happin
-
Take your blinkers off, given half a chance at that age you would of been in boots and all. At what age are they going to say we can't ride MX -as our bones are too brittle and our kds think we are one stubbie short of a six pack.
-
I'll say it again.
What about the ppl that go to see that poor little 6 year old risk his life, I don't know about you, there's no way I could go there & watch that. would you go?
I would be twisting myself inside out with fear. It is a VERY strange parent, in my mind, that would put a 6-yr-old into a Crusty Daemons environment or attend and applaud it.

Well now they are allowing him to ride in perth but not allowed to jump

Crusty Demons grommet Jasyn Roney will now see his dream become a reality after Department for Child Protection authorities in Perth last night amended their initial order, which prohibited the six year old from participating in the Thirst 4 Destruction opening night at the Burswood Dome on Saturday 16 October.
Roney, who gained national attention for his incredible long distance jumps of up to 100ft, will now ride out alongside Crusty legend Bubba with the revised order granting him permission to ride his motorcycle in the show with restrictions.
The young daredevil leapt for joy at being told the news and has spent the day at Burswood Dome rehearsing and preparing with his heroes for tomorrow nights show.
“That was the best news I ever had,” stated Jasyn boy talk
“They have changed my part in the show so I will be taking on Bubba – I can’t wait! boy talk
“All my family are coming to watch and I think some of my school mates too,” he added.
Roney joins some of the best FMX riders from around the globe including global FMX star Robbie Maddison, the Godfather of FMX Mike Metzger, Nate Adams, Seth Enslow, Jackson Strong, Taka Higashino, Kain Saul, Adam Jones and Australia’s first ever female FMX rider Emma McFerran.
The Crusty Demons Thirst 4 Destruction Tour kicks off at Perth’s Burswood Dome on Saturday October 16. For more info on the event or to purchase tickets head to www.crusty.com and follow the links.

He'll probably come out and do a double back-flip instead!! :D :o

I think it sets a dangerous precedent when a government department can step in and call the shots on something like this. Heaven help us if they decide to turn up at a local Mx track on any Sunday...
Kids his age all over Australia are doing exactly the same thing, except 15 times a lap, with 25 other bikes around them and on terrain that is constaintly changing, unpredictable and unforgiving.
Regardeless of what I think of freestyle and it's riders (Not much) I think it would be a much safer and controled enviroment than a MX track (their insurers would make sure of that).
The kid has obvious talent, bucket loads more than most on this forum 10 times his age, me included. Let him do what he does best, make it safe and give him memories that will last him a life time.
It's an opportunity very few ever get, let him grasp it. Keep the cotton wool for their own kids.

Dangerous precendent to stop a 6yr old and lets remember he is a six yr old, still figuring out right from wrong to jump over winebago's etc, I think not. Junior MX is an extremely controlled environment, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do it. Are the six yr olds jumping over winebagos or 20 metres in the air, no.
lets have a bit of common sense on what you allow a 6yr old to do, how do you make it safe for a six yr old to do this sort of stuff, you can ask the professionals doing it, how many broken bones they have!!!mmm
We don't allow the young kids to race with adults in Australia until they turn 16, when they might have a good idea of what they are doing, after a few yrs. How many yrs experience in riding bikes does he have, how can he make a calculated decision, when he's only just learnt to read and write.
But encouraging your 6yr old to jump of long high distances, for me just doesn't sound right
-
That's the thing I love about this country we can still do what we want to do ,,like sail around the world on your own :o :o :o stuff that ... ;D
Lets not head down the same road of other countries that a drowning in there own laws,over protected nannies and poop.

I wonder how many paid for a $239 ticket for their three hours? (cheapest was $69, apparently)
12000 people is a minimum of $828,000 for the show.

we're in the wrong business.

I still find this wrong on a number of different levels.

Missed this the first time round and im sorry i looked this time ::) Absolute bullshit IMHO my daughter rode junior Mx from age 6 and with hindsight i have to question weather that was too young . Fortunatley her worst injury was a broken arm a result of trying to double a couple of single jumps on her KX 60, was her call i said i didn't think it was possible but she decided to give it a go . I was a bit of a pushy parent and if i had our time again i would do things differently but she came through it with a love for bikes and racing MX :)
That little guy jumping that big is a disaster waiting to happen , why do people go to stunt shows , to see people crash plain and simple . If that little guy comes up short hes fuct and thats bullshit , i hate the way modern kids are wrapped in cotton wool but this is the other extreme >:( I dont care how good he is if hes got it in him it will still be there when hes 18 and can make his own desicions .
Pure and simple child abuse >:(

Quite frankly, if I was in child welfare I would be seriously taking a look at this episode. The kids parents (and I use that term very loosely) do not deserve to be allowed to bring up children.
FFS - his mother talking about his lifes dream .... the kid hasn't had a life yet. Shit, I have helmets & boots older than that.
