i've been riding 28 years and never quit, it'll be 29 years this xmas. the longest i haven't rode for was about 6 weeks with a broken leg, i've broken my bones 5 times while riding my bike and it wont stop me. i always try out my builds at the skatepark at least once and get some pics then it's back to a new school bike.
my first build. skyway ta

looptail pk ripper

1985 straight stay pk ripper

40, Still ride, still build trails, still build wooden ramps(to be riden at your own risk :P),,,,,,still trying to pull a GDF turn down, haha.  Don't care what the general public think about BMX, having too much fun + keeps me fit and in the outdoors- i've stoped on loads of other stuff I used to be into, but for now gonna keep riding.

here's a pic of my mate and his son riding my 85 pk ripper, he gave up for about 10 years got married and had kids. i said if he wanted to ride again i'll build him a bike. that was about 4 years ago and he can't get enough now. we meet up every sunday at the skatepark with his son. won't be long before his son is showing us up.

I ride 2 of mine regularly and 2 others in my collection are my daughter's riders.

I take my 2 riders out for a spin with my daughter and I also take my riders up to coppull track in the spring & summer months - not that I'm any good like !  :-[

Yep, ride em any chance I get. I've built a couple of show-ponies and had to sell them as I knew I'd crash them as soon as I rode them........ :crazy2:

Bikes are to be ridden. End of. Even if it is a Gen1 :uglystupid2:



Even getting my 2yr old into BMX - she's already got a Lil' Ripper waiting for her, but here's the coolest kiddy-seat you'll ever see - my 22" Faction mutuant :2funny:

Still limping......

Some of those pics are awesome, great shots!

Ive got 2 riders, my old Cali and my new school Dialled. I ride DH as well but I dont think anything compares to that 'BMX' feelingn so I'll always ride a BMX when I can! :daumenhoch:

Take mine 2 - 3 times a week to the local drinking establishment, manged to remodel myself and her the other day whilst attempting to bunnyhop a two foot wall after a daft amount  of lager,
o/s bikes are built for enjoyment, some peeps enjoy building and staring at there creations, others enjoy the occasional roll around with friends, then there are the few who use as a daily rider and batter the sh1t out of em.....its all good, its all bmx & i like it :daumenhoch:

yeah I ride, not as much as I should though.

Yes I often suffer from don't wanna ride cos there's loads of ace riders there, but I usually have a go. and yes I'm pretty sh1t but i enjoy it.

as for the whole being a bit old for it, someone my wife used to work with asked her if i was having a midlife crisis, Snowboarding, Bmxing & four aside football at my age, my wifes answer? "better than being downt he pub every night like your husband" lol..

oh, my doctor has on more than one occassion told me to lose weight or i'll die, and also told me in the same breathe that my choice of sports aren't suitable for a man of my age. lol. can't win.

think maybe I should have called this post "how many of you have had kids so you can 'blend in' when riding?"

joking aside great to see families enjoying this hobby together, got more chance of seeing the queen's tits than getting my mrs on a bmx
