Yep still riding at 42, will carry on as long as my body allows...
are you really only 45 andy
Nice one folks - that's certainly encouraging to hear. How many of you stopped in the eighties/nineties and have only started again recently? And how many of you are riding freestyle? I'm keen to see if there are any common issues arising from this type of sabbatical that I might encounter (other than a complete lack of ability). Are you the oldest guy at the skatepark?Gordy
Jason Finn, bloody hell....I've not long been riding trials (I have an old Mont 315), after getting fed up with having MX bikes nicked I had a good session a while ago with Steve Monk - he's a good lad Anyhow Gordy, I ride almost exclusively with people way younger than me (I'm 44), and the one thing I've learnt over the years is that the vast majority of these kids are completely cool as long as they see you trying hard and not looking down your nose at them.Get your bike fettled, get padded up and go riding anywhere you like. After a self concious first few minutes you'll be fine I might see you at Corby, but failing that, give me a shout and come down to Rom for a ride one Sunday morning or summat. I'll show you a few lines round the place that should get you grinning.
