So James volunteered at the Lewiston Supercross this weekend. I took Jayden early with James and we watched the fellas practice on the course. It was incredible to see how entertained Jayden was.
Then we took a walk while they got the track ready for the race and found some fun off road toys. Jayden wanted to touch all of them but since I didn't bring my wallet he wasn't allowed.
We saw some pretty awesome toys and some which I would love to own someday.
Jayden kept asking me to start the race already cause he wanted to see the motorcycles jump on the track. Once they started it was hard not to stare at Jayden because he was so involved in the race. Every time someone would yell a name of a friend/family in the race Jayden would repeat it as if he knew the rider. People kept looking in our direction wondering if we also knew the racer. Made for an interesting race.
After a few qualifying races they announced that that the "pee wee" racers were going to get ready to race. I'm sure I looked confused cause I wasn't sure what to expect. Sure enough the cutest little people with HUGE helmets came out on little 50s. They got lined up right in front of the parent holding up their bike for them.
Then it began. Shortly after you see 35 grown men running like they were racing towards the lottery winnings. HILARIOUS! These men were so serious about their little ones racing. CUTEST THING EVER! There was a minor crash at the beginning and 5 men ran for their lives to make sure their kids were ok. Luckily no one was hurt and the race continued. They chased their kids around the track clapping and cheering them on. One little fella was on a 4-wheeler and every time he went over the little hills he clung to the 4-wheeler like it was gonna buck him off. I could totally see Jayden riding in those races being the kid in first place with custom gear and a super tricked out bike. One day....Here's a few videos from the afternoon:
