Just been out on my bmx for the first time in 23 years.
It's safe to say I'm knackerd!
Pulling 17 stones around isn't easy lol

I enjoyed it but sweat my tits off lol

Did a few bunny hops and small rads :-)
Which resulted in the pedal pulling the thread out of the crank :-(
So that's first on the list to replace.

nicely done pal , puts a grin on yer face, gets better if you can find some like minded loons to roll around with, just remember we don't bounce like we used to when we fall off

Yeah it does put a grin on your face

I don't fancy falling off, I did enough of that as a kid lol
My son came with me earlier on his mtb and said I was to big for the bmx do I want to swap?
My reply was no, it might be small but I can still ride it fine

Gonna swap the crank over tomorrow and take a ride to my brothers to do some gym work lol

Keep it up mate!

Yeah as said if you slam big you will hurt for longer...

When i fall/crash I make sure I start riding straight away & sort out my wounds when I get home.

Thanks guys

I don't think I will be doing any big air jumps...

Hopefully I don't fall off to often lol

I guess attempting an endo will be my first fall! No time soon tho!

I've just finished swapping the crank, I put an ammaco crank on.
When I came to put the chain back on it was to long.
The new sprocket is smaller, so I put a new smaller chain on.

I've never used a smaller sprocket, hope there's no big difference lol
