Need help to get out. Lawwwwwwwdddd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson noted in a separate video that her and East\u2019s son rode a bike without training wheels when he was 1 year old and has had an electric bike that he was \u201cfluent\u201d at riding. She explained that Jett has since had a few birthday parties at various BMX tracks. (Johnson and East are also parents to daughter Drew and son Bear, whom they welcomed in 2019 and 2023, respectively.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, you guys are like, \u2018This is too much. It\u2019s too soon.\u2019 Guys, if athletics has taught us anything, it\u2019s how to gauge when your kid is ready \u2014 or when a kid is ready \u2014 for the next step.

And that\u2019s how you do it. Trial by fire, pretty much,\u201d she said, adding that Jett has \u201call the precautionary stuff\u201d and is \u201cvery good\u201d at riding. \u201cHe\u2019s just never been on a track before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson gushed that Jett did a \u201cphenomenal job\u201d racing, but noted that he gave \u201chis mom a heart attack.\u201d As Johnson\u2019s daughter entered the video, the Olympian asked whether she would be interested in racing like her brother. \u201cNo,\u201d Drew replied.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cLet me just say, something that Andrew and I both value as parents is they write a lot of rule books about when your kid is this age, then they can start doing X, Y and Z.

Some of them move slower, some of them move faster,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo with Jett, it\u2019s truly been, he\u2019s been setting the bar.
