Biking is something any kid can do without needing to book a court, have parents involved, and be a money pit.

How much is a good downhill mountain bike for racing?
I'm gonna say $2000? Honestly I don't know, but I reckon they ain't cheap.
I think that team sport vs individual sport is an unwinnable argument. Some personalities do well in team set ups, some in individual set ups where the out come is the sole result of their actions.
Activity, that is what is important. Get them active so they remain active throughout their lives.
I love that my 18 yr daughter comes and play shinny with my group (other than her trash talking me).
