  • Why is it that when a kid gets hurt or killed people always question or blame the sport they were doing? Every professional athlet starts when they're a child, that's how they perfect there skills to make it professional. Kids die in car crashes every day, does this mean they shouldn't ride in cars anymore? Or ride bikes? Or even cross a street? Accidents happen and always will.

  • ALL OF PEOPLE NEED TO STFU

    ISN`T HIS PARENTS FAULTS. ITS AN ACCIDENT, ITS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME N WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THE ACCIDENT COMING.

    ISN`T BECAUSE HES TO YOUNG EITHER, WELL HOW OLD HE NEED TO BE A RACER? ITS ABOUT HIS FUTURE, HES GONNA BE GOOD RIDER WHEN HE`S GROW UP, BUT EVERYTHING`S CHANCE BECAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

    R.I.P YOUNG MAN #45

  • Were they ready to race?????? WTF!!!! Where were u guys when ppl like Wayne Rainey, Mick Doohan, Valentino Rossi started racing when they were 5-6 years old???? TOTALLY SENSATIONALIST REPORTING!!!!

  • @bigwillybiker more kids cross the road than race motorcycles.

  • shit happens everyday to people young and old only difference is would you prefer to go doing something you love??i would.rip little man keep her lit in the big track in the sky...

  • @mickeypopa thnx, its not bravery. Broken bones are common in motor racing, but its also with soccer or hockey! Tragedies like Peter Lenz and Marco Simoncelli are so rare that its almost irrelevant! Dont get me wrong, sure i'd be worried, alot infact! Its just, we people tend to blow up these uncommon incidents. R.i.p Peter Lenz, strenght to his family, but it wont stop me one bit for my son to race bikes if he chooses to!

  • @kevintje82onboard

    Then you'll be one of few brave dads. Not many can accept the risk their child might die so young because of something they let them do. It can be a wonderful reward for both dad and son, but it can also be a tragedy, like in case of Peter Lenz. It all comes down to many factors like skill, experience, maturity but ultimately, chance. You may control where you'll be with your bike, but you can't control other bikes that may come up behind you, and this is why GP riders die.

  • If my son decides he wants to race bikes, then i'm supporting him!

    If he dies, god forbid, during riding, then its the risk involved

  • But he was pretty damn good. :3

  • More kids die crossing the road than racing motorcycles!
