First time I watched this was back on 2008. Now, it is 2015 and I STILL watch it. Somehow it brings me happiness and joy + it helps me to go along with my life to raise a kid as yours. I am proud of you as a good father not a "bad" as you referred on your comment. Wish you two all the best :)
expert on raising other peoples children Here! (dont have any myself yet) kids need to be sheltered and coddled so when they get out into the real world they can tell other people how to raise their children via the youtube comments section
My sons only 1 year 5 months I'm rebuilding my vw buggie and building a v6 buggy so we can sis by side like I did growing up by far the best parts of a childhood. great job!
Absolutely one of the best videos on RUclips ! I know you get a lot of flack ... But having your son, as a best friend is a blessing ! Be proud of his accomplishments But know that your relationship with him . Has made him what he is...for that be proud of yourself! Great job dad!!
This dad reminds me so much of the man I knew as my “grandpa” on my moms side. He was rich, but loved glamis and had sand rails, quads, dirtbikes, everything. He looked very similar to the man in this video and he spoke like him, very nice but at the same time serious. “You remember how to shift right?” Supportive yet caring. This video makes me almost tear up from the dad and the way the kid is so awesome.
Best Dad EVER!!!! Kudos for pushing your kid like that. Your kid is going to be a champion in whatever he chooses. He has no fear! Frickin' LOVE IT!!!!
Dang it’s crazy I remember watching this on the first generation iPads being around 6 years old and the video was still a couple years old... being 15 now and seeing it in my feed was awesome and gave me a throwback for sure👍🤙🇺🇸
I was 10 and knew a clutch because of my PARENTS. I knew how to drive a clutch before I could drive a automatic. This kid took it to a different level. More power to dad.
@CitadelRunner the boy has skills. props to you as a dad for instilling the love for thing like this, its gona keep him on the right path. my dad got me into cars, atvs, sports,etc when i was young and that kept me away from drugs n crime. whatever your doin keep doin it
Cool dad! I was exactly like this kid at his age. I only knew one speed on whatever I ride/drove, full send!! I recall riding a BSA 441 Victor dirt bike when I was the same age as this kid. I couldn’t touch the ground while seated but that didn’t stop me from tearing across an open field at about 70 MPH. The owner of the bike was stunned to say the least.
That is awesome! Give your son a high 5 for me :) It's nice to see a father involving his son in something other than video games! He is going to be one hell of a driver as he gets older!
What everyone seems to not realize. Is this is the most important thing a parent can teach his or her children that's is guna b in the sport of riding. Teach them young. Teach them right. Great job. All I can say is WOW. Aweome video.
SOOOOO refreshing to see a vid like this and read all the positive comments! Craig, anyone who would object to this is a massive douche pile. DO NOT let even a single one of the very few negative comments get to you! Your boy will cherish the memories of outings like this for the rest of his life and hopefully he'll make more with his son/daughter! GREAT vid!!
you are a cool dad! you have given something to your son that no one can ever take away. you have also showing your son the trust you have in him, that goes a very long way to building his character as he gets older. drive on.
@rideredification That kid has such a better father than I ever had. That wheelie makes me proud to be American and even garnered a small tear to my eye! Rock on little dude and mad props to pop!
I got my son into quads when he was 7 years old. But his natural fears would have never let him try a wheelie! Lol. The young man in this video is fearless, he might have a future in racing or in a wheel chair. I hope he sticks to racing! Great video!!
@CitadelRunner- i wish my dad was as cool as you first vehicle i drove was a 87 fullsize chevy blazer when i was 8. ive alwayz wanted to drive a sandrail they look like a blast. your son defenitly know what he is doing behind the wheel of that rig!! Awesome vid!!
nice!! and for the haters saying bad parenting how about you look at all the farmers son driving a 50 000 pound machine..skill and trust and good teaching pays off for your kids to have great memories growing up
I think every 15-16 year old kid should have this as part of their driver training! My boys learned to drive on a go cart, and as a result, know how to handle every driving condition.
good driving kid! its all about the teacher. and good job dad for teaching your kid how to drive it and have fun. i have a lot of respect towards you both. Anyone hating on him needs to get a life instead of sitting on the computer all day. -true offroader.
My mom used to take us kids to Glamis and Pismo beach, Sand Mountain. I learned to drive a stick in my mom's rail Dune buggy at age 11. Hmmm, I don't remember wearing a helmet either. I survived. =)
My dad had me an motorcycle solo when I was 10. One of the best parts of my childhood. This is a great dad. Although I call bs in the beginning lol it’s like an H right?? This kid had done this before. Lol
my son is only 3 years old and already riding an atv...i really hope he gets some experience cause im buying myself a buggy a bit ahead!!...good video dude!!
I watched this 17yrs. Ago when my kid was small. He’s graduating this year. Where you at now kid and what does your rail look like. Please update this video!!!
Guy: Just drive normally, and do what I taught you.
Kid: *wheelies it*
Taught him well
This should be on the don't tell mom commercials lol
dude your kid is a riot! pulls an amazing awesome well executed and SUSTAINED wheely and asks "is that good" damn what a kid!
Absolutely one of the best videos I've ever seen lol! Craig you're a great father and Ellery is a legend...fantastic!

He said was it good ? Hell yeah it was good props on the wheelie and props to your dad for being one of the coolest dads around👍👍👍
Good job kid! That was awesome!
You have a good dad, listen to him and be safe.
Kick ass!
I don't think the car would flip over anyway the frame hits the ground in the back
Great parenting right here. Literally. I'm in shock and awe at something I never got to do during my childhood.
I remember when this video was new, and 14 years later it still makes me giggle and smile.
"Was that good?" You're great kid.
Dang it’s crazy I remember watching this on the first generation iPads being around 6 years old and the video was still a couple years old... being 15 now and seeing it in my feed was awesome and gave me a throwback for sure👍🤙🇺🇸
Same here!! i saw this pop up and i was like holy shit i have seen this before when i was like 6 or 7
Bro after the first clip of him doing wheelies he came back to his dad and was all like "WAS THAT GOOD" 😂😂😂awesome kid and dad
handsome boy with beautifull buggy :) . nice to see happy family .
What a Right of Passage.....Worlds Greatest Dad!!
now this is podracing
Keep on rockin little man and props to the dad for encouraging him. you two are bad ass!!!
That’s the best dad in the entire world . I hope that boy is still driving them sand rails a monster
THUMBS UP!!!!!
And the dad of the year goes too! Bad ass what kind of motor you have in it
Craig Gordon that is the next step for my rail... hell ya, you got one sweet set up!!!!
Craig Gordon Stock block? btw your son is amazing,your a great dad.
F@#$ing sweet!!!! Nice job dad! That mud is amazing
I was 10 and knew a clutch because of my PARENTS. I knew how to drive a clutch before I could drive a automatic. This kid took it to a different level. More power to dad.
Thats was awesome.. Fuck the haters..
Parenting gone right!
Nice helmet
dude that's awesome. my lil girl is into fast cars , she looked at this video and instantly wanted one. guess I'll be building one this winter
Nice skills but he should have a helmet
yeah he should have
They don't need helmets and its legal to not have a melted and drive about 1 in 200 sandrail does the driver want you to wear one
+don flora Yea if you are in a rzr or rail with roll cage its not mandatory to have one by law in CA but on a quad or dirt bike it is mandatory
at least put a helmet on the kid
@CitadelRunner the boy has skills. props to you as a dad for instilling the love for thing like this, its gona keep him on the right path. my dad got me into cars, atvs, sports,etc when i was young and that kept me away from drugs n crime. whatever your doin keep doin it

This video was insane 15 years ago. Has definitely stood the test of time. I just showed my desert toy neighbors and they said "thats illegal now" lol
what a badass dad i give you props man
Wow,the boy really got "the feeling" for it. :-D
1:02 thats what I love about kids, just did a fat wheelie and still has to ask dad if he did a good job! LOL
Dad, do what I taught you, kid, hold my Capri Sun
I remember I was this kids age when I first saw this video. Legendary
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that was freaking awesome, wish I could do that for my kid. He is having some serious fun. Way to go and great driving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how dad is all concerned about safety at the beginning of the video, but cheering him on doing a huge ass wheelie at the end....
Your kid is what I call, one badass. I don't think I'd ever do that.
Dude this thing is 14 years old and this shit is still badass
Video was taken 20 years ago! Thanks for the nice comment!
That is awesome! Give your son a high 5 for me :) It's nice to see a father involving his son in something other than video games! He is going to be one hell of a driver as he gets older!
props goes out to that dad for being the first one on youtube who actually cares about the safety of there own kid
NICE ONE DAD :D
