I raced bitd but never did any cool tricks, Still race a little now so have some of those skills. I did perform a 180degree bunny hop for my niece the other day thinking she'll love it but she just said "old men trying to look cool is sooooo un cool".  :wtf: does she know she's 10 ffs.. :knuppel2:

I like to think that I am a legend on a BMX but in reality I am sh!te, I try and do the old tricks but my balls just don't seem a big as they used to  :LolLolLolLol: wheelies, frame stands, small bunny hops is about the limit, but one day I am gonna turn up at one of the rad lockin's and I am gonna go for it  :LolLolLolLol:

I'm crap but having loads of fun all the same

so far my raddest moves since the 80s have been a couple of framestands, some rather weak endoes since I got pads that work on tuffs and some equally feeble bunny hops. am slowly getting braver on the ramps but still find some of them to be pretty scary - thankfully no-one on our little lock-ins gives a toss if you're crap and even if you are there's still usually plenty to do. the boardroom's especially good for starters as it's not so 'extreme'

ash I was bricking it at the top of that 9ft roll-in, but once I'd got it done once wasn't so bad & the foam landing is hilarious
while boardroom is not so extreme some of the T1 ramps are pretty big - that jump box there gave me the fear  :shocked: if it wasn't for spen & ged I'm not sure if I would have got over it last weekend

ash you don't need a freestyle bike for the boardroom - just don't use dirt tyres and you'll be fine

Griff, hats off mate.  I looked at that roll in ramp for the foam pit and thought 'fook that'.  The jump box was a little bigger than that one at the BR too eh?

Used to be ok at flatland bitd and general 'jumping stuff'.  Once did a quarter mile framestand but not got round to trying that one again yet  :LolLolLolLol:

Also when you think back we were on our bikes every day trying to perfect new tricks, now at the ripe young age of 40, ride time is few and far between as all the adult things get in the way  :( if only we had the time and energy to ride and practice every day and had the facilities to perfect the radnes, things would be different.

i was good bitd, raced and loved the freestyle, loads of peeps say dan would still be good today,  so

my idea was to not ride again, still gets the pats on the back saying how good i was and pats on the back

saying if you rode today you'd still have it :)  makes sence in my mind, live off the past and live off what your

mates say that you'd still be good  :LolLolLolLol:  best of both worlds with out getting hurt and still looking the

b@llocks ;D    best advice from SBD
