Look at this kids tires
. I don't know much... but I don't think that this is the way those tires are supposed to be. Doesn't this cause the bike to roll more in the corners? OMG!

i dont think its meant to have uppers, I have seen some bikes that dont. But even if it isnt supposed to have them, something is messed up pretty bad.

I would say the shocks are to long forcing the lower arms down further, his dad was probably trying to upgrade the suspension with the wrong shocks

correct, they could brobably be adjusted down tho. usually you want to have a lillte bit of a negative camber...

its not it looks like the camber is way off or maybe he just did it to get great cornering handling.

I think its a set up that gives the little light weight more travel in his suspension, when he lands I am am sure its not so drastic looking.
That may be the poor mans suspension, if so as long as it works right,,lol?

Its the nature of the beast with single A arms the camber changes drastically through the suspension travel.

I don't think there's even enough travel on my 450r to fix that

definatley something is not right, if anything that angle should be reversed with negative camber for control

all single a arm minis are like that, the lack of upper a arms makes camber correction impossible. its just tie rods and thats it. The smaller guys dont need intricate suspension for the speed and the air that they are getting.
