We love seeing little rippers out on the trail. It warms our hearts to see them picking up the skills we did in our youth, but on bikes that don’t weigh a tonne and unexpectedly buck you over the bars.

So from toddlers on striders through to those young ‘uns on their first ‘proper’ bike. We salute you. (Until you start overtaking us that is).

Here are some of the best edits from little rippers on the internet.

This kid is going to be something special, that’s for sure. Growing up in Whistler he’s had the world’s best trails on his doorstep and it shows. Here he is riding with Stevie Smith (RIP) and yes, that is him clearing Crabapple Hits…. at 11 years old.

Give it a few years and we could be looking at another Whistler prodigy shaking up the World Cup or FMB tour standings.
