Yeah man, at 43 I like to keep my hands on the bars and my feet planted on the pedals, but these younger riders love to unleash it all...lol

At our local trail, their is always three generations of riders shredding together on the DJ's, hucking drops, and everything and anything in between. We had a big cookout and sesh this past Sunday, and it was awesome to see a diverse age group shredding together and training the drops & DJ's.

But yeah man, it is sweet to hear the younger generation giving props to us older generation, and even aging us one for a challenge or old schooling...lol lol lol

I ride with my 13 year old son, and he is getting better than most I ride with. He is hucking 15' plus drops and shredding whatever he can shred on dirt. Beer

I'm 33 and i ride everyday. i live in miami and unlike all other cities downtown miami is a ghost town after 6pm unless the heat play at home. every night i jump on my bike and charge around the city, with no insurance and a newborn at home i don't get too crazy but i have tons of fun jumping down stairs and bunnyhopping over bums laid out across the sidewalks.

Too funny bro!!!! I am like 175 miles north of ya in the Melbourne/Palm Bay area, but yeah man, the urban scene (riding that is) is still something I still do. I mean, just look at my avatar....LOL.

I like to shred in DTO (downtown Orlando), but the cops are pricks up that way, but there is soooo much to have fun on. We have one stair ride that is five story's high with gaps to huck every floor level. It's seeeeeeet, especially dodging the security....LOL.

Have you rode Markham Park yet? That place is just sick bro!

I was in Miami last year getting on a Cruise (LOL!); but I just kept thinking that the whole Port area is like a playground! And yeah, ChiliPepper, it WAS deserted! Lucky!

Funny you say that. Might be pulling the trigger on a 24" Contraband in the next day or two! Too fun. Bikes seem to be my mid life crisis.
I guess there are worse things....
