LOL. We have dirtbikes and horses, and 4-wheelers. He's into skateboarding 
and right now that is his passion. He has made himself a skatepark with 
leftover OSB from the house and already has ramps and a rail. he's pretty 
good at it and you know, i fully understand his desire to do his thing even 
if it makes me cringe over the possible broken bones. And he loves to fish in 
the summertime, so that's good. He has potential to become a prime 
homesteader/farmer if he stays.

 Both of my kids had to adjust to life on the dirt.  TJ liked
 skateboarding and Kate was a rollerblader.  Even on the patchy piece of
 asphalt we call a road, neither was really possible here.  So, if you
 gotta play hardball and win over the kids, I'd say instead of hardball,
 play paintball!(or ride dirtbikes, mountain bikes, horses, ATV's etc.)
 The trick is getting the kids to see dirt as their friend...
