old guys
« on: August 18, 2014, 07:13 PM »
Hi I am new to Radbmx, I am back on my bike after 30 years. I am 47 now and just got a mid school Specialised Vegas freestyle bike. I love all the old tricks, ground work as there is not so far to fall. Any other older guys out there going through the same mid life crisis. I am aiming Hugh to be better than I was 30 years ago. Its a great Keep fit regime. Fun all the same, even with the Cura and bruises.

Welcome.

Don't give your age another thought. Ride what you want, how you want and you'll fit right in :)


Whereabouts are you located?  UK?

If so, have a look in the members events & gatherings section, get yourself along to one of those doos - you'll have a blast.

How many front hops??????   Best I ever managed was 6......

Cool.

Are you hooked up with the T13 guys?

Say hello to Matt G if you are, he'll know me as Rob Steele the ramp builder.

Yes hooked up with the guys there in T13. Good bunch of guys, they have the BMX Belfast shop in there. One of the guys Peter is 50 and you should see him go. I thought I was the oldest. Dont know your friend as yet as I am only new to the place.
