When I was a Kid Challenge by Grow-Pro

Nameste, Here is My Entry!

So i saw this great Challenge by @grow-pro and just had to enter. I had an amazingly outdoorsy childhood. Raised in the bush of Australia. My dad used to invent machines and toys for us and he would collect the most random animals for us to have as pets... i remember he once caught a water rat (like beaver but vicious) and gave it to me as a pet... i took it into my year 1 class for show and tell... the teacher was not impressed. HAHA

Anyway, this photo is from when i was 2 years old... I couldnt really walk, mum mum tells me i was basically still crawling. Well, my crazy father decided if i wasnt going to walk then i would ride! Yeap, i was riding a motorbike before i could walk! Notice the training wheels my dad made for me on the back of the motorbike haha.. So awesome!

That was a typical Aussie Bush kid childhood... growing up on the farm with no care in the world.

Peace!

That is a really cool training bike, coolest I have ever seen and such a dad thing to do! My son is still mad at me for teaching him to ride a bike using a pink bicycle (it even had "little miss" lettering on the side). It was FREE! I had no idea it would scar him for life. (lol).

I had a go-cart before my first bicycle wish I had a picture with it. here is my entry

Nice! That is awesome @beery! I swear that really helps people become better drivers later in life. Got my first bike at 4 years old, Yamaha pw50 - had a restricter plate but that came out in a hurry..Dad said only one way to learn - full speed..haha

You got a good head start at 2! You really nailed this and I look forward to more @beery! Had to resteem this - excellent work!

Reminds me that my son just turned four and there is no better time than now! The wife is gonna love this 😆 Laughing so hard at this, I spilled my coffee:

i remember he once caught a water rat (like beaver but vicious) and gave it to me as a pet... i took it into my year 1 class for show and tell... the teacher was not impressed. HAHA

Water rats are nothing like a beaver. They are like a rat that lives in water. The beaver has a flat tail, like a platypus. I have several water rats on video if you would like a better reference. I too grew up in the bush. Started on an XR 80 though, never had a peewee.
