Trouble is, at that age theres not much to interest a boy. Once you start getting into girls/other sports/cars/beer etc it kinda go's to pot! I know at a few XC races i attended, the parents were living their dreams through the kids, and were pushing them so hard they had to do it rather than want to do it. Once they got old enough to say no, they stopped. Anyways, looks liek he's doing well for sure!
