ELY, Iowa (KCRG) - Eight-year-old Jamysen Lagerquist-Taylor started riding at Ely’s BMX track three years ago.
“It was really scary,” Jamysen said. “(But) I don’t even think it’s scare any more because I barely even crash.”
Jamysen’s mother Elyce Lagerquist said he started on a strider bike. After graduating to a standard pedal bike, he learned within a day of starting.
It was a similar case with sister Bindi.
“She saw brother racing so she wanted to take it on too,” said Elyce.
Bindi started at five, and she’s riding next to the big kids at six.
