This kid could be big one day.....

[beanbag]

I found this kids profile on the EVO YouTube channel.....what a legend!

He's only 6 years old and look at his speed on the track! I recommend checking out his YouTube page!!!

One to keep an eye out for in 12 years or so....great stuff!

Nae feared.

Kids that age arent scared anything. If he keeps it that way then there's no doubt with the right break and the right guidance he could be a future champ. But its too hard to predict.

Brings be back to a time i was at a kart promotion day, and some little kids were absolutely nae feared of anything and the reflexes at that age were impressive.

If you look at how mad the 750MC's SaxMax gets, then you see that younger racers have no sense of mortality, which always makes it "fun" for us in the orange army!

Not just bravery, the kid's got racecraft too.

That looks a flat track with good sight lines. Try doing Buckmore Park at night in the rain. The flood lights do not iluminate the center of the track so you drive the esses almost blind into a blind donwnhill being Symes Sweep.

Keep your foot in all the way.

Most kids do get big one day. We call them adults.

I don't think pushing off another kart when you don't have the corner (about 3:50) is racecraft.

That link does not look like a race, the karts seem like different powers and sizes, looks more like a test day.

He's six years old! Regardless of whether it was a race or not, he was passing kids an age group up, that were pretty determined to keep him behind.

TBH,I'm surprised 3.50 didn't happen sooner.

Glad to see someone thought the same thing!

This is one 10 year old kid that amazed me. It's on two wheels but watch the kid on a 125cc blowing away bigger machines on shot tyres. The guy filming is the 1000cc lap record holder and even he loses the rear a couple of times trying to keep up.

Look out for the music it's a bit banging for my taste

Saddest bit is that he was killed this year at Indianapolis, the world lot a future champion that day

Indeed the world is a sadder place for the loss of Pete Lenz and Shoya Tomizawa this year. Lenz was far to gifted to be ten years old.....however..that video is a mock up. having raced a fair bit and been on many TD's the way the riders give him room is beyond any race or TD I've ever been on............doesnt detract from his late talent just not the best way of portraying it........
and I dont mean to be rude, but the 6 year old kid in the scooby has talent but looks like noddy..

I think it's tragic that such a young boy was killed, however it's undoubtedly the dangers of motor sport. More so on two wheels.

I've always said that I would love to get my kids into motor sport as soon as they are old enough but there isn't a chance in heck that I would let them get into motorcycles. (And this is coming from somebody who is passionate about bikes - I'd do anything for the new Norton Commando!)

So older larger/heavier kids in different karts with possibly different engines on a test day so not everyone going 10/10ths. It is looking less and less impressive.
