was just curious to see how many 'old-schoolers' still ride, esp as my wife thinks i've got a screw loose for even thinking about getting back on a BMX at my age

Gashead · « **Reply #1 on:** October 21, 2010, 09:48 PM »

Yep - I ride mine down the allotment

I only ride two of them. My white one and my blue one, the others are in the loft.

I do get paranoid when i ride them though, especially when i'm on my own. Not once have i had anyone come up to me and start talking old school BMX.

I ride all three of my os bikes, and my daughter rides her mini all the time, family jaunts means they all get go out to play, four old school, one mid school, and one new school, I have four kids by the way!!!

Why build show ponies, bikes were made for riding

Ride mine ( only got 1 but 2nd coming soon ) when the kids go out on theirs, get a few looks.

Dunno if it's cos it's White,Pink & Blue or it looks like im riding a kids bike

My daughters friends ask why im riding her bike

Took it onto camp ( RAF ) during summer to ride if i needed to go anywhere.. got afew looks especially off the chicks

Think they loved it tbh, i know the lads who i work with do, though they'll never understand old skool really

im 38 a mixture of grey and bald so theres no chance of me looking a bald tit on mine

nosepickben · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2010, 10:14 PM »

Yep, 3 of mine get ridden regularly.i visit outdoor parks, 2 good tracks within 20 mins drive and a bit of street a couple of times a year, plus commuting on sunny days. like betty sez, they are for riding... No matter who you are with or where you are, I return to the state of a gormless child when i'm riding. great.

You got to ride them, it's a waste building them otherwise I reckon!

And this Kuwahara Laserlite
