:Clap.gif :Clap.gif :Clap.gif :Clap.gif :Clap.gif :Clap.gif Respect doesn't even come close, Kids here is someone that y'all should look up to... He has worked for everything he has, it has not been given to him. My hats off to you....

Mrs.Nightbreed · October 22, 2006, 04:36:30 AM

Let me make this clear. Shaun doesn't get things regularly handed to him. He has had his quad stock for over a year. He saved his allowance to buy his silencer and his grab bar last year. Suspension is just beyond what a 11-12 year old can save for with a small allowance. Also, anyone that knows us, knows full well that if he doesn't do well in school or doesn't behave at home, he doesn't ride. Period. He missed more than one points race at Sandmountain and lost 1st place in the championship because he couldn't ride due to misbehavior and attitude.

Mr. Fixit · October 22, 2006, 07:12:14 AM

A mom and dad with discipline with a child always has my respect.

LT-R450ApK · October 22, 2006, 09:14:13 AM

CountryBoy · October 22, 2006, 10:55:22 AM

I bet all the new susspension will help out great. :ThumbsUp.gif
