A guy came out to the track with his 2 boys today. They came a couple weeks ago and really liked it. The 2018/2019 Provincial champion was at the track then and I introduced him and he gave them some posters and I gave them some stickers. Today the older kid's (15) bike wouldn't start. I discovered the fuel line was cracked but had a piece of fuel line to fix it till they could replace it later. Then the dads bike wouldn't start after kicking a hundred times. I suggested using a tie down strap to pull it from footpeg to footpeg with the other bike instead of trying to push it. Finally after getting tired of pushing they tried my suggestion and got it going.
Fast forward a couple hours and the 15 year old was out riding his dads bike and I sat in one of their chairs to rest. He comes in and doesn't really ask me politely if I can move just says with a lot of attitude, "can I sit down". Sure and I get up. Then he says "you have a trailer right?" Yeah. Then the dad told him not to act like that. I felt like saying you had a fuel line and you got the bikes going right? At the end of the day the kid hurt his ankle and couldn't put pressure on it. Don't like to see anybody get injured but I think it's karma in this case!
