??What do you think?? People ask us where they can buy a strider bike, but the day after the World Championship, JoJo was BANNED by strider founder Ryan McFarland from ever riding in a strider event again (even though JoJo attended and promoted and raced the strider cup more than any person in the world. Our entire family worked for strider and created the strider world cup plus handled all international sales until JoJo was BANNED). McFarland said that JoJo was "unruly." Websters dictionary defines unruly as "not yielding easily to rule or restriction." Sounds like good qualities to us, and JoJo just wants to ride his bike. But he will never ride a strider again in his life, and we will never recommend that anyone buy or ride a strider ever again. I called Ryan an idiot when he BANNED JoJo. He demanded an apology after I used an expletive when he told me that BANNING my four year old son JoJo from the events and friends that he loved would be good for him. Later, I apologized for my vulgar language. I should have been more clear and accurate by saying that McFarland's actions were cruel, heartless, insensitive, intolerant, despicable, egotistical, misguided and idiotic.
We have never experienced anything so mean spirited in our lives. And we still have no better explanation than that "JoJo is unruly." Go figure.
If you have an opinion, feel free to post your comments here. And Ryan McFarland is also invited to post here to explain his side of the story. Scout's honor that we won't erase a single word that he writes.
Otherwise, please enjoy the video. JoJo always has a blast riding on two wheels, and he was a hotshot for more than a year starting at 14 months on a Micro G-bike balance bike before he ever touched a strider.
Balance Bike Tricks, Running bike, run bikes, balance bike, prebike, likeabike, learner bike - he just calls it FUN! There is no better way for kids, toddlers, tykes and children to learn how to ride a bike. They will race and ride likeabike in no time. Your child will love it and you will be thrilled about your newfound freedom!!
Wow! Doing stuff like this at 2 1/2 years must really give him confidence. Major empowerment!
