do you actually ride your bmx(s) ?
« on: October 21, 2010, 09:45 PM »
was just curious to see how many 'old-schoolers' still ride, esp as my wife thinks i've got a screw loose for even thinking about getting back on a BMX at my age

I only ride two of them. My white one and my blue one, the others are in the loft.

I do get paranoid when i ride them though, especially when i'm on my own. Not once have i had anyone come up to me and start talking old school BMX.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Ride mine ( only got 1 but 2nd coming soon ) when the kids go out on theirs, get a few looks.

Dunno if it's cos it's White,Pink & Blue or it looks like im riding a kids bike

My daughters friends ask why im riding her bike  ;D  :2gunsfiring_v1: :2gunsfiring_v1:

Took it onto camp ( RAF ) during summer to ride if i needed to go anywhere.. got afew looks especially off the chicks

Think they loved it tbh, i know the lads who i work with do, though they'll never understand old skool really  :smitten:

Yep, 3 of mine get ridden regularly.i visit outdoor parks, 2 good tracks within 20 mins drive and a bit of street a couple of times a year, plus commuting on sunny days. like betty sez, they are for riding... No matter who you are with or where you are, I return to the state of a gormless child when i'm riding. great.  :D

You got to ride them, it's a waste building them otherwise I reckon!

This season I have raced this Skyway TA XL



And this Kuwahara Laserlite
