Dallin installs Flexline Hydration System on Bike

Dallin has been riding his bike a lot lately. Though he's only 11 he's taking it pretty seriously. For right now I would rather he focus on staying in control of his bike and not having to worry about details like how to pull his water bottle from the rack, open, drink, and return it, all while shifting and dodging cars. I had the opportunity to test the Flexline Hydration system. I decided that a great test would be if Dallin could read and follow the directions and install it all by himself. I handed him the box, and within 5 minutes he had it installed and working.

Competition at All American Gymnastics May 2012

Winner indeed. KPICASA_GALLERY(AllAmericanGymnasticsCompetitionMay2012)

I don't have these issues with my Canon, Creative or JVC cameras, so I'm sure it's just some odd 24/60 Sony timecode thing. Anyway, sorry to get all technical on you. For non-family members, he's the trombone player. Here it is, enjoy: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbWV92O4_HI
