On the evening of September 17, at the "CIMA Rider" award ceremony of the 19th China International Motorcycle Expo (hereinafter referred to as the China Motorcycle Expo), a 4-year-old girl was selected together with Yin Zheng, Chen Zhen, Pi You and other "big coffee", and has been lovingly held by Yin Zheng. Xu Ziyang, known as "China's smallest motorcycle rider", has ridden like a decent bike, galloping like the wind on the track.
4-year-old girl riding a motorcycle, parents are not worried? In fact, it was the "fan" dad who took her to the road of motorcycles, and the mother, who could not ride a bicycle, went to study in order to follow the footsteps of the father and daughter, and was also taking a motorcycle driver's license!
The "Wind Girl" fell in love with the motorcycle at first sight
At the scene of the Motorcycle Expo, 4-year-old Xu Ziyang lingered in various cool motorcycles, holding his mother's hand, and jumping in various venues like a small butterfly.
The mother and daughter flew from Changchun City to participate in this motorcycle event.
Mom Maddow told the upstream news reporter that dad loves sports, and her daughter began to learn swimming, skateboarding, skiing by her father from a young age... Because the child's sense of balance is better, he began to ride a bicycle without auxiliary wheels at the age of 3.
In April, her dad, a motorcycle fan, took her to a professional kids' motorcycle club for an experience. After taking off his helmet after taking off his helmet for the first time, Xu Ziyang laughed excitedly: "It's so much fun!" I love the 'whoosh' feeling! I want to learn to ride a motorcycle! ”
"Whizzing" refers to the sound of the wind whistling in your ears while riding a motorcycle. The father was overjoyed and quickly signed up for his daughter, and this little girl who had just turned 4 years old began her career as a motorcyclist.
Since then, helmets and motorcycle suits have become Xu Ziyang's favorite outfits. She especially likes the feeling of chasing the wind on the motorcycle, and likes to be called "the wind chasing girl".
The little riders are still happy in the countdown: no fall is victory
Most of the motorcycle students in the club are boys, but Xu Ziyang is not weak at all. She practiced every week and quickly learned various flags and techniques. She first rode the electric motorcycle, then the oil motorcycle. Once, when she was riding on the track, due to the fast speed, she could not control it well, and the motorcycle hit the tires used for protection, and the person flew out in an instant.
Xu Ziyang cried out "Wow", fortunately, because he was wearing a protective gear, he was not injured. After Coaxing, Dad quickly stopped the tears and continued to ride again!
In July this year, she participated in the KXD Motorcycle Race xi'an. As the youngest player, although the results are the bottom few, Xu Ziyang is still very happy after the race: "Mom, you see I am strong, I did not fall off the car!"
Mom immediately gave her praise and appreciated her safety awareness. Maddow said that her daughter competed with players older than herself, not timid at all, not flustered, and always maintained her own rhythm, very stable. "She doesn't care about rankings, she doesn't chase speed, she pays the most attention to safety."
Parental attitude: like it, enjoy it
When the father and daughter walked into the community holding a helmet, everyone was surprised: "Such a small doll began to ride a motorcycle!" ”
Maddow, a former elementary school teacher, believes that learning to ride a motorcycle, like other hobbies, should respect and cultivate children's choices as long as they like them. What children usually learn should not be limited to cultural classes. She believes that riding a motorcycle on the track will cultivate her daughter's sensitive judgment, concentration, brain thinking and response ability, balance, physical coordination, and when riding, her daughter's mood is very calm.
When riding on the track, 4-year-old Xiao Ziyang has to face various unexpected situations: such as sleding, such as a child crashing in front of him, needing to slow down or avoid... All of this requires her own rapid judgment, independent thinking and self-control. While riding a bicycle, Ziyang also learned to help other children.
The parents' attitude towards Xu Ziyang riding a motorcycle is: like it, enjoy it.
The mother was influenced by her daughter to learn to ride a motorcycle
In order to have more common topics with her daughter, on the one hand, Mado was influenced by the father and daughter, and she could not even ride a bicycle, and recently began to learn to drive a motorcycle, and this month she also went to take a motorcycle license.
She happily planned that for the next holiday, the family of three would drive a car, put a trailer in the back, and carry two motorcycles to travel together. "I will do their security!"
Maddow was a former elementary school teacher and his lover worked in a public institution. In the eyes of many people, they are "conservative", so they are surprised when they learn that their daughter is riding a motorcycle. "The child is so young, how can you rest assured that she will ride a motorcycle?" You don't worry about your child's safety? ”
Maddow laughed and said that it was actually safe to ride a motorcycle. Before each time the daughter got into the car, she checked the safety measures over and over again, wearing a full set of protective gear and knee pads. She herself has a strong sense of safety: when driving on the track, the speed of the car will be actively controlled; if anyone overtakes, she will also take the initiative to avoid giving way to prevent collisions; when turning, although turning from the inner circle will be more time-saving, she prefers to go around a larger circle to ensure stability and not fall. "We are also very relieved to see the children riding cautiously and have a score in their hearts!"
Moreover, Xu Ziyang is very clear that he can only ride on the track: "I am young, I don't have a driver's license, I can't get on the road." She said seriously to her uncle and aunt.
In this "CIMA Knight" selection, she received the "Rainbow Knight" – an award dedicated to outstanding young drivers under the age of 20.
Zi Yang's father has a dream: to train his daughter to become a professional racing driver, and in the future, in such a top international motorcycle event as the World Motorcycle Championship, chinese female athletes can be seen.
It's hard, but who says it's not possible. It's like the moral of "Rainbow Rider": "Youth is infinite possibility". A brave 4-year-old girl who is as brave as the wind does contain infinite possibilities in her body.
"It's mainly about the child's interest, and if she continues to enjoy cycling, we will fully support it!" Maddow smiled and looked at his daughter, who was immersed in the world of motorcycles.
On the motorcycle track, a 4-year-old girl wearing a small helmet decorated with a pink bow is becoming a unique landscape.
