As I posted before, the boys are now interested in BMX bikes and doing jumps. A friend alerted me to a website with all the relatively local bike trails and places to do off road bike adventures. One is a bike park up in South Germantown, MD, about 45 minutes away. So, last weekend, off we went.
The park has one part called a pump course where a rider can keep their momentum going by pumping their arms down on the handlebars as they descend small declines. The other part of the park is three parallel trails with a series of bigger and bigger jumps. It took both boys a little while to warm up to the jumps part, but eventually, they tried both courses and loved both.
Here's the pump course:
Cassius was the first to brave the jumps, but eventually, Maceo did, too, and in fact, Maceo got pretty good at taking the jumps. I am sure we'll be back here relatively often and soon.
(After I stopped filming, Cassius hollered from the ground, "I'm ok!")
