Kim Kardashian’s Adrenaline-Fueled Picture of Son Saint, 11, Sparks Backlash for How ‘Dangerous’ It Is

At just 11-years-old, Kim Kardashian’s son Saint West is already a fearless adrenaline-junkie. But his latest stunt is so “dangerous” that it’s sparked backlash online.

The SKIMS founder posted a photo on Instagram of her eldest son, who she shares with ex Kanye West, earlier this week, captioned simply, “BIKER BOY SAINT.” But she’s not talking about bicycles. In the snap, Saint pops a wheelie on an electric bike that looks more like a mini motorcycle.

In the snap, Saint holds onto the handlebars as he tilts the bike up practically vertically, with one wheel pointed up. The back of his seat is touching the pavement behind him as Saint holds on, helmet on his head for protection. It looks so cool, but as a mom — terrifying! That was the sentiment from many onlookers, at least.

“Dangerous!” one person commented. “That doesn’t look like it ended well,” added another.

“Omg lol that is dangerous lolll????” another commented. One person warned, “Don’t allow that for that boy it’s dangerous plz am telling you.” Someone else said, “BTW know that’s a felony on open roads.”

Of course, other people praised Saint’s talents, including his cousin-in-law Landon Barker, who wrote, “Hell yeah!” YouTube biker Sur Ronster commented, “OK saintttt we see you ????.”

Saint has been riding dirt bikes for a while, as has his younger son Psalm, 6. In Aug. 2025, Kardashian shared pictures of her “biker boys” riding identical dirt bikes around their front driveway, with a parked cyber truck in the background.

One thing about Kardashian is that she’s the most supportive mom. Since Saint is a huge sports lover (not just dirt bikes, but also basketball, football, and soccer), she travels all over the world to take him to games. He cheered on Lionel Messi at the Leagues Cup 2023 match in Florida, telling Apple TV at the time, “He’s obsessed with soccer.”

“And I will do everything for my babies,” she continued. “So I’ve traveled the world. We do soccer trips and it’s not stopping. All summer we’re going to different exhibition games.”

She also says she’s careful about making sure her kids stay safe — despite what online commentary might have you think. In a March 2025 episode of The Kardashians, the reality star called out Saint after he tried to do a wheelie on a Cyberquad, which is a ride-on ATV toy, with Psalm on the back.

“No doing wheelies together!” she called out to the boys in the episode. “Oh my goodness. Be careful. Oh my god, [Saint]’s going to do a wheelie with him on there.”

Later, she said, “No more! No! Sorry! K, move move move.” She continued, “No, no, no wheelies! Especially on the cement … You could fall and crack your head open. And then there goes your whole summer … K? I’m serious. I am serious.”

In a confessional afterward, she shared how her boys’ daredevil natures made her put her foot down. A producer asked if parenting was her hardest job after the incident, and Kardashian replied, “Oh my god. Hands down. Hands f——— down. Toes down, hands down. But I grew some f——— balls. Now I’m the firm one, and I’m proud of myself.”

So, even if you are worried about Saint’s safety from this photo, just know that Kardashian is handling it and wouldn’t let him do anything she wasn’t comfortable with.
