I started biking at age 3. Jumps are my favourite thing but they are scary. I crashed three times today but I am not put off.

I am excited to watch people do stunts and tricks. I want to do that one day. The Kidsworx track is good. I liked the bumps and corners, and the seesaws.

My 18-year-old son is racing. He raced yesterday and will again today. We are super excited. The whole family has come to support him because he has just got over chronic fatigue syndrome. These are his first races in five years.

We came over here to watch our son Garret's events. We are very happy we came. It is incredible, other than the smell!
