 Blimey, that sounds like a terrible spill !! Its not funny when stuff like that can happen. Do you still race?? Good luck  :daumenhoch:

No  :LolLolLolLol:  Just build as a hobby now.  :smitten:
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Not any more, raced in Stafford as a kid over 25 years ago on a track made in Highfields by us local kids..just before the mountain bike age...
Massive gap until 3 years when I started on the Raleigh Burner restoration streak then 2 years ago bought a few new school biles, Federal Corey Martinez custom which I smashed about for 12 months getting braver and braver and which is the only NS bmx i have left,  I treated myself to a New WTP Envy 2012 and a New Stereo Flash 2012 to ride around on, anyway had the Flash delivered to work I built it and went riding around my Town, after barely 90 minutes fell during a wall jump and and smashed my left hand breaking the bone here which in turn knackered my knuckle as the bone twisted and turned .. it took 16 weeks to heal and still isnt right now , turning a tap on strangely gives me grief, since then have jammed on loadsa weight as a HGV driver so can safely say No more Gusto rides for me...
Sunner Summer cruises with a bag of beer tho, now yr talking...

3 of mine have the nuts on tight for riding, one for me, my wife and son - the rest would probably fall to bits if I took them out  :LolLolLolLol:

I only ride 1 of my bikes. Why ride only one? Because it rides 10x better then any of the others.  :LolLolLolLol:

And I also hate the feeling of swapping bikes to ride different things. It always feels like you on a borrowed bike and does my head in. One bike that Im comfortable on makes riding everything a lot more fun for me.  :daumenhoch:

Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

I ride all my 20" os bikes (albeit only on the London rides or a light seafront cruise) apart from my two Trickstars as I don't want to ruin the NOS white tyres or break the OG Aerospeeds and I also ride my Cruiser. I obviously don't ride any of m minis though.

Go to the local track with my lad when the weather's half decent. Mind you it's only 2 mins down the road.  
Built 4 bikes upto now, two for my lad (ones not fit to ride yet), one for the mrs (she's not bothered anyway) and one for me (nearly finished my second).
So nearly 5 bikes which will all be seeing their fair share of track and tarmac.   :daumenhoch:

I ride my TRM in the park early on a sunday .....which is why the bikes always dirty when you see it

( but drag my kids along to protect me from the bullies  they're 7&13)

I had someone in a VW bus matching my speed and obviously looking at my bike once, I refused to turn my head to acknowledge them, they eventually speeded up and drove off ...phew

Am fully aware that just because my bike maybe cool...It doesn't make me cool whilst riding it.

I commute to and from work and all my bikes except the Direct Links. The next one will be the Exhibitionist. I give myself an hour to get to work on sunny warm days even though, at speed, I can do it average 24 minutes  :LolLolLolLol:  Sometimes I pop into the bowls in Bushey Park on my way  ::)

I'm trying to get my 3 year old on a bike but she doesn't seem interested at all and my 2 year old does but she can't find the strength to push the pedals yet, bless her so, riding with them at the moment is out of the question.

I pop down the coast and take a couple of my bikes for my mates and my brother so we can hit the old haunts now again too. Apart from that, just link up with my mate Gaz and hit the bowls as not peeps around me like or ride old school BMX and think I should grow up FFS  :2gunsfiring_v1:  :uglystupid2: What do they know eh!  :LolLolLolLol:

But did meet Animal (Steve) and his 2 MRDs.... :4_17_5:
