Are we helping our kids chase their dreams — or pushing them too far?

In this episode of Let’s Torque Bikes, we have an honest, no-filter conversation about the realities of youth motocross: the pressure, the grind, the constant travel, the cost, and the emotional toll it can take on both kids and parents.

We dive into:

• Where the line is between healthy ambition and burnout

• The mental and physical demands placed on young riders

• Racing vs training — and when less can actually be more

• Parental pressure, comparisons, and social media influence

• Why quality time on the bike matters more than sheer volume

• The uncomfortable truth about obsession in motocross

This isn’t about pointing fingers — it’s about starting a real conversation that most parents in the pits are already having… just not out loud.

If you’re a motocross parent, coach, or someone who’s grown up in the sport, this episode will hit close to home.
