how about a get together at corby skatepark sometime?
I'm allways up
i thought this was going to be a thread about riding bmx's on singletrack.
dissapointed.
I'm allways up for that... I was there on Saturday, the new resi on the half pipe is wicked...
im there every tuesday til 9pm but can do another day if needed
marionheck, we did that in the 70-80's 🙂
Indeed before MTB's I rode my bmx in the woods, and everywhere else!
toy19, come ride bmx again!
I'm in for it.
I could be tempted on a Friday or Sunday night, bit out the way unless I happen to be going up north for the weekend.

me too!
some kids up to that at the BBB the other week. one brake and slicks riding roots faster than most of the adults. cool.
I'm there this friday and next tuesday 🙂
Ha, I rode around Squamish on my BMX cruiser the other week. it totally sucked on rooty sections (no shit.....) but it was a laugh on swoopy stuff.

Been round the local park on my Torker pro xl this afternoon with my 5 year old on his Mongoose mini moto.
Stayed away from the ramps though , didn't want the local kids to show me up.
old school torker 280xl???
Pah , I wish . It's a more modern one with aheadset. In white with CW pro bars n White Skyways (for a retro look)
With it's spare OGK mags as I don't want to damage the Skyways.

You lot aren't helping my 'need' a BMX thang
Back in the 80's my original Puch Murray (snapped) morphed into a Rebel Freestyler (similar to Haro) from the shop nr Bull Green roundabout in Halifax with red Skyways and copy CW bars, why o why did i let it go for £30!!!
Wish Cobra on Burnett St was still open. They got Eddie Fiola and Bob M to come and do a demo. Wow! I even got a Kit Kat wrapper signed.....
Anyone got a spare banana yellow GT performer??
look on radbmx.co.uk 🙂
Most of us are too fat thighed these days to ride a torker lol.
Went out this morning on the BMX only 1.5 hour, back for 09:00. BMX is my first love, I may be shit and have lost all my bottle but I still love it.

Still do 😛 . Bought a lovely Intense cruiser for going back and fore to work recently but it did my head in coping with just a rear brake on the steeper rooty stuff when taking the scenic route home so I sold it 🙁 . Since found [url=
little pump track[/url] though in my local woods . . . today I shall mostly be building a trail 20"er 😛 - reckon dirt is more forgiving at my age than park and with a 20 it's not so far to fall if the roots get me on the commute 😉
Tell you what I could be up for that. excuse to ride my bmx for its yearly outing
mamadirt, you may find 24" or 26" more stable though, which means less falling off (hopefully) 🙂 Tried to get on with a 20" bmx but with a 75 degree head angle and tiny wheels it felt so weird and I fell off all the time.
Might be up for a skatepark session although I don't have a bmx any more so would just stick some slicker tyres on my Trailstar!
this is about the Only time i wished i was daaaarrn saaaarrrf 😆
not rode me BMX for yonks
BMX is a bad idea once you're over 25, especially if you weren't that good in the first place
it's just too hard and hurts too much 🙂
Let's do it!!
Why bad over 25?
Reckon those numbers are the wrong way around 😉
just had lots of fun on my bmx today 🙂
Why bad over 25?
that's when I bought a BMX thinking it would be fun, realised it was too hard and too harsh.
its way less harsh than mtb!
It's harsh until you learn how to take the landings etc... I crash more often on my mtb. Jedi, Are you going to Corby this Tuesday?
Can you lot stop talking about BMX's please coz now I want to build one.
I was always rubbish as I was too old to have one as a kid and found girls were better fun than a dodgy bike
yeah i'll be there. may go bar hill 1st
Just for all the people who are trying to resist buying a BMX..

Ken shields. I have a nice bmx frame for sale...
I found my bmx really harsh on the wrists. Dunno if it was the bar geometry but it was so painful to ride even without big landings.
_tom_ no offence but it is due to bad technique... I was the same, even little 1 foot drops were harsh at first, but I've slowly learnt to absorb the landings... It's amazing how much mtbers rely on suspension to absorb impacts...
so, who's up for a session at corby tomorrow then?
so, corby session tomorrow anyone?
I'd love to, but it looks like I'm working now... Are you going to bere in the evening?
yeah
Love to but can't this week. Have a good one!
