haha that's awesome man and I'm not laughing at you, but with you and your 6yr old self.
My dad shoved down a large dirt hill without pads or a helmet when I was 4 or 5. I learned and got a little bit scraped up. My own kids took a while too, well the oldest two did. They both learned at like 8 or 9 when I forced them to stop whining out of fear and just ride. It was funny too as their 6yr old sister was insistent on beating them and she actually did technically learn before one of them by a few mins or so. Pretty funny day.
Don't be ashamed about it at all. I think it probably took far more courage to do it as an adult then as a kid. Now don't stop and start riding a lot.
