Mountain Biking - bike games to play with kids?

Anybody know of any games to play? I got my daughter a Specialized HotRock for Christmas and she's been riding it all the time. We race and play tag and see who can ride the smallest circle, but that's about as far as my limited creativity goes. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Well she is a little young but you could play horse. Setup obstacles and ride through them. Make them tight and difficult with switchbacks etc...As she grows older you can throw in more and more difficult obstacles...If someone touches the ground to balance or hits a pylon they get a letter.

Very similar to basketball horse and a good way to get good at technical riding while having fun.

Hey-

Kind of in line with the ride-the-smallest-circle game, but still good practice. While on the trail and someone was fixing something, me and my friends used to try to ride a certain distance the slowest. The last one to the predetermined point was the winner. Put a foot down and you were out.

I'm not sure how young she is but you could show her how you can trackstand - It might give her a goal to practice towards being able to do.

She's only 6, and I just taught her how to ride in August, so doing a trackstand is probably quite a ways off, but I'll probably set up an obstacle course next time we ride. She's got a bunch of those orange cones for practicing soccer, so those should work.

Well, there is bike tag and one we came up with called Logan's Run. You need 5 or more riders and 5 or more kids on foot. The object is for the riders to run over those on foot. Car hoods and trunks were safe zones. The runners are only allowed to stay in the safe zones for now more then 60 sec. Then they must run to another one. The game ends when all runers have been run over:D

It might not be for your daughter but we had fun as kids playing.
