That's simply awesome Jim - gives me hope that I'll still be ripping around in the dirt when I hit that mark (be 43 this summer). One of the buddies I ride with is 60 and he leaves me in the dust every time we hit a trail...kind of irritating actually...LOL.
And good on you for bringing your grand kids into it
An option you might want to think about for their bike - the Oset 12.5" (electric trials bike). We picked up one of these for our oldest (when he was 3 - he'll be 5 in June) and he's been doing great on it ever since. No worry about burns from exhaust, it's easy to pick up, and he can literally ride it anywhere - parks, etc. Here's a short clip of him riding around the area we camped a few weeks ago:
