[QUOTE="530ktm, post: 54626, member: 586"] As Dan mentions, it takes time for the young kids to get the confidence. You need to get it into his brain to lean way back on the bike when going down the hills. Depending on the incline and terrain, it is easier to go faster than slower but that only comes with experience. My kid does pretty good and I taught him to always use the front brake but just enough so you don't brake it loose as this is where you get most of the stopping power. I believe your boy has just begun riding and going down hills is the worst fear of all riders to my knowledge. Take him to a hill and ride it up and down many times and let him get the feel of it, working the brakes, etc. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
