Ten years ago you'd never see little kids riding the shore, but for sure times have changed. To the moms/dads out there, just wondering what are your favorite loops for your little shredders? Each kid is different so YMMV as always just curious what other parents are getting up to with their progeny, especially in terms of trail access and minimizing the amount of walking/pushing for smaller riders.
I know Fromme has been discussed at length before. Bobsled, King of the Shore, Floppy, Kirkford, Krinkum Krankum, Expresso, sort of in that order. We've already done most of that stuff, but we live by Seymour so I'm keen to figure out some better kid friendly shuttle options. High School Trail is fun, but too short. Bridal Path is not a bad choice, but all the up/down/up/down technical XC can be a chore for small riders. Fishermans Trail or LSCR is good for beginners. What's the next step up when your kid is ready to shred a Seymour mushroom lot shuttle run? Asian Adonis or John Deer?? Via Corkscrew/Salvation/Pingu? Or Upper Dales berms to Power Lines connector? And what about getting out at the bottom with a minimum amount of hassle traversing to exit points?
Recently we tried Forever After (bypassing Dales). He walked the sketchy parts but rode some cool tech lines too. It was fun, and it's nice that it dumps you straight into High School Trail, but Forever After is undoubtedly a lot of trail for a little guy (8 y/o). I was proud of him, but I want to take him down something easier next time. Curious what are your fav routes for your aspiring young rippers, on Seymour/Fromme or elsewhere. Cheers.
