I've never been interested in racing, not even a little bit.

I've always been into freestyle.

I haven't voted as there isn't a category for 'doesn't care either way'  ;)

I have always loved racing gave up in 88/89 ish but always had a bmx in the garage, in the 90's bought myself a street bike and a cruiser then went to peterborough winter series regional last year and the bug is back TBH initally it was more for my lads to get involved in something other than football but I am hooked again, and now so is the nipper ! gonna get my youngest one of these micro micro minis 18" to see how he gets on.

Enjoying the riding / jumping meeting old faces at every meet which is great ! and also the atmostphere and the vibe at a BMX meeting is just so cool ! 2 friends came to mk on sunday, 1 who had never been to a race the other who had not been to a race meet for 20 years  both were absolutely shocked at the amount of people there, the one that rode BITD is now coming to Bournemouth with his lad - he has promised to get him a bike now ! he is also keen to get an OS ride and perhaps have a go what this space Ratty I will put you in touch  :daumenhoch:!! he enjoyed riding around on my GT @ mk looking at the other OS bikes, he is defo going to MK in May, August and Dunstable as well and he is also hoping to get some more OS lads to the events !

But what has to be one of the best things is the people involved, everyone is friendly and will always help you out if they can, no attitude no messing just everyone out to have FUN both Adults and the Kids !! :daumenhoch:

Am i only allowed 1 vote ???????
Never raced BITD, more into ROM and jumps. First visit to a track was JAN 2006 at Dagenham. Eldest boy got into racing, 3 bikes and in excess of £600 spent on him and he retires. Dont want to race anymore but still likes going round the track. Likes going over the skate parks now,have you ever seen a grown man on a 16inched wheeled bike on a halfpipe, get some strange looks from the other kids and you can see them saying to there dads why cant you do that. I'm still racing and loving every minute of it, meet lots of great people. Racing old school and new school. Aiming to qualify for the British Championship this year and go, couldn't go last year :'(
 Wife is great and allows me out alot Hersden this week will be my 6th Sunday in a row, also does registration at BADBMX club mets. My youngest is now off his stabilisers and wants to go round the track on Sunday :4_17_5:. Will need to finish the Cyclecraft Mini re-build in case he gets addicted like me.
See you on the gate
