.....what would you do differently BMX wise?

And I don't mean buy lots of PK Rippers and TA's and stash them away. Remember, you'd just be a kid and wouldn't be able to afford lots of expensive bikes.

I'd ask you to get me one of those fly headsets so I'd have some chance of getting it by the weekend

I would never have given up riding, started smoking. Oh and I would have kept the bmx stuff I had, an not sold it cheap

If i could go back to 1995 i'd have pushed way harder for treatment on my knee and followed my dream of moving to the USA on an already approved scholarship and raced BMX.

Hey Ho if i'd have done that i wouln't have my 2 fabulous little men

I would definitely have gotten into the race scene.

Tail whip, over dirt. I think without my adult fear it's something i could have learnt and it's my favorite trick

i played about with footplant tailwhips last year and neally had them in just a few goes but then i did my scrotum and it's history.

yep, i shouldn't have stopped racing and riding too. i also would never have sold my favourite bike, the 1982 redline proline 2. by 1983 i had it perfect. i'll show my 1983 race bike replica as soon as i get these wheels laced and finished.

hehe, tis a bit out of order i think.....

With regard to BMX, I wouldn't have done anything differently. I started racing in 1981 finished in 1985, just right I say. Then I spend the next 22 years drinking and taking copious amounts of class A's............... Sorted!!!!

Oh, I wouldn't have married the 1st wife.... what a bitch she was

25 years ago.....BMX wise,
i wish i had kept going for a few more years, and learnt how to race properly......, something for next year perhaps !

20 years ago......Elsewhere;
I wish I hadn't given up Tae-kwon-do - i'd be quite good now !

Money;
I wish i'd have bought those Microsoft Shares from Bill G !

i would have loved to of raced properly in the early 80,s
against scoffy,youngy, maloney n co

or might have been lucky like ratty and had a pic published in action bike

i do regret like most of us for selling me bike,but i dont regret giving all me gearaway
it went to a good cause
