I realize this was probablyjust for the class but during there riding time they all did fine while staying in control.
in some aspects i agree with lt80 some kids are not mature enough to handle a bigger machine. thats the reason I hope every parent gets there kids in the saftey class if offered he learned alot. he is always in control and knows what not to do to get himself hurt.

I agree with both of you on this issue in part but i would have to add that just because a 12 yr old takes a safety class and does well at handling a quad in the 350 class while under supervision of an adult safety instructor or parent doesn't ensure that he will use the same rider safety he or she leaned , kids will be kids when and if they're alone with other peers their own age they often tend to show just how much better they are than their friends ; this is when bad things can and do happen with the result leading up to serious injuries and even death's while showing off to their friends ie: giirl friends !
If they're always with a parent or responsible adult is one thing if they never ride alone with kids their own age , i know some riders that are 21 and older who shouldn't be allowed to ride anything more powerfull that a 90cc quad ; but they're concidered an adult by law and there's nothing we can do about this but morn for them when they get stupid and injuried or killed ! just my 2 cents on this one.
