Racing

My son saw some kids on dirt bikes racing around a track over hills and became interested. It looked like they were having a blast but I also see the downside of it. I see broken bones, but all he sees is fun.

My husband has been trying to get me to agree to get our son some type of small ATV for the last couple of years but I want to wait until he's older. I'm worried that a small ATV will grow into a larger ambition for bigger racing vehicles like a yamaha rhino 600 and the racing world.

Do you think he'd settle for a video game about racing? I guess it depends on how serious he is about wanting to race, if it is just for play, or if it was a momentary want after seeing the kids on the dirt bikes.
