Motocross is putting kids on motorized machines at a very early age. While I'm not necessarily in favor of little kids playing tackle football (my grandson didn't play tackle until he was 10 or 11, which I still think is kind of young), at least they have protective equipment. Same goes for hockey, and neither one inovolves motorized machines. Apples and oranges, buddy.
