I quit riding in 1994, i had a pretty bad crash a couple of years before then at the Goshen halfpipe, Bury. (slammed a 540 straight to my face!) after that i couldnt ride properly, couldnt air, lost all confidence.. MAJOR pop-out-itis!! I then made the decision to quit!Worst decision i've ever made! EVER!! hated not riding and i hadnt rode for 12 years!! but with the X-Games and Gravity games on tv, i was itching to ride again. So i finally got off my arse and got my new bike together (Hoffman condor), and met a couple of old mates i used to ride with, who, them selves are riding againI've been riding now for nearly two years, to ride again was the BEST decision i ever made!!!Rampworx... 2007.
'but realised BMX was actually just full of bitching kids in tight jeans, weird looking bikes made of string & wood & old men who hate anything that wasnt made before 1986'hahahahaha.. sounds like a subversion comment!!!

I just happen to share the same nickname as Steve had!! Really i should have used a different user name... but everyone i've ever known knows me as Macky!!Bit guttered now though, cos you probably are talkin about Steve McIntosh and that was a Great comment!! hahaha!! He was an Amazing rider though... so smooth and controlled!! Should i change my user name to avoid furher confusion??? ....yup, you are right........soryy....but still a cracking shot, no matter who you are!
