Mini Motocross riders deceive the eye.....

02nd February 2026

As the Guernsey Kart & Motor Club's 2026 Motocross championship started Round 2 on their muddy clifftop track I was particularly impressed how capable the youngest riders were in the challenging conditions.

It's rather surprising when you find out that the youngest rider is only four!

I'm always amused that my photos of them racing give very little idea how young, and small, the riders actually are as their bikes and kit are 'mini' versions of the adults creating a bit of an 'optical illusion'!

I've added a new gallery featuring my photos. If you want to see if you can identify the juniors click the link to take a look:
