What a great night

[curtispro]

Tonight was gate practice for the boys and as I am on holiday this week I was getting the Curtis pro ready for the london ride, fitted a crank and it was ready to ride, I started to load the car up with the boys 3 bikes, the missus said she was staying at home with the little one so I thought fook it, I will sling in the Curtis, grabbed my helmet and off we went, it was packed when we got there so I left it in the car, but after a while I couldn't help myself, what a response, loads of chats about the old days, people who had one BITD, anyhow, I stuck on the helmet and rolled around the track and I absolutely loved it, first time on a track in 26 years, it's now got a dusting of the peterborough track over it, the best bit was me riding around the track with my 3 sons......... Priceless   
This is what building an old school bike is all about, I felt 12 again and was in a world of my own

Sounds like a great night, i took one of my builds to the Le Mans 24hrs race to roll around on. It got so much interest from people. It's amazing how many people still have such great memories about BMX from when they were a kid. They were taking photos and telling me what they rode BITD.

My daughter wanted an old school ride so I am halfway through building her a Falcon Pro mini street styler, she can't wait and has given her imput on colours and parts etc. The bike is 18 years older than her!

It's cool when your kids share your passion and interests.

     x2    having the same interests as our kids is priceless and something they'll also remember for the rest of their lifes and that their dads were cool and rad ,,,,,,,,,,  i for one normally go out on an old school bike with my little lads every Sunday but will miss it like fook as i'm at Radchester this weekend  .

At the moment my daughter (4) will only ride on the grass and my son (2) is a demon on his scooter but can't reach the floor on the balance bike.

Looking forward to the day we have our first burn around the block together. I just know the smile on my face will be massive.
