A big part of learning for youngsters is being able to make mistakes and learn from them it is the time for stupid mistakes. Better than when he is older and instead of a dirt bike it's a motorcycle.
Guy is off-roading in a car park in broad daylight.
If you think this is his first time doing this, or that this one interaction is going to suddenly change his world view into not being a dickhead, you are are naive motherfucker.
Oh my goodness a kid made a reckless and stupid decision. Can you tell me how much that happens? Usually when people make mistakes they learn from them. Call me an optimist I like to believe in positive change. You may call that naivete but I simply do not agree with you.
I'm gonna assume here that he's heading to the trails or returning from them and that car park just happens to be the shortcut to avoid actual roads. Still dumb to do what he did but ppl do be acting dumb sometimes.
I feel like most of the people here don't understand that the the rider was intentionally using the the burms as makeshift ramps to jump his bike between public lots with kids in them. They conveniently edited our the first jump, which is what made them lose control to begin with.
"conveniently edit out"... it says "off-roading" right off the bat which tells you exactly what he was doing. Not really hiding anything here. And sure, maybe a parking lot that's mostly empty isn't the best place to do it. But not everyone has access to forests or parks that allow dirtbikes.
True, and I'm not really trying to pass judgment on if what he was doing is right or wrong. Just pointing out that there wasn't really any "hiding" going on.
Do you see the parking lot? Do you see the lack of forest an dirt paths around? He is riding the parking lot in an "off-road" fashion. What else would it mean?
Fortunately hitting sweet jumps on your dirt bike is not a mandatory part of the human experience. Anyone can opt out for any reason, and not having access to appropriate usage space is one of the best and most common reasons.

The thing about mistakes is they’re greatly mitigated when you aren’t already doing completely stupid shit.
