kinda… (i'll take the bait)
I used to love riding BMX, used to ride loads and got quite good, late growth spurt made things a bit tricky but carried on well into my late teens/ early twenties only thing was, me and my BMX friends used to long for something we could ride a bit further, more comfortably, with better brakes and better geometry for tall people. I guess kids nowadays would ride a dirt jump/ street bike. I'm old, I ride a full size mountain bike. I'm crap at setting up gears, and usually just use the middle ring at the front and about 3rd up at the back, I've had rides ruined by breaking rear mechs (passporte du soleil being one). Everyone likes their own thing, but me, I just like riding my bike. I'm actually faster on the SS as I have to try harder on the climbs and maintain speed on the downs. I like it cos it always works!
