Just wanting to see if ther is any people out ther like myself who used to dirt jump when they were younger and have decided to get bk into it? I used to ride and build trails allday everyday when i was 12 to 16 then i decided it was a choice between biking or soccer and i chose the later but i have always been gutted i had to stop riding! Anyhow i have just bought myself a new bike and am getting bk into riding! Am i too old to go out and build trails???

So im not the only one then!ha! do you guys find it harder to do stuff you used to do? i keep thinking to myself "how did i used to do a double that size" when i look at them now!ha!

Yeah thats the best part for me now too being able to afford stuff, used to be a right nightmare!ha

well now that im older things seem a little easier.
like,i can visualize it better and what not.

but i still suck haha

its just soooooo damn cold right now that i cant really even ride.
plus my bike is in pieces at the moment and im waiting on some parts.


i use to ride bmx and bought myself a bmx last year but i just felt too damn big for it and thats why i decided to get in to 26s now

i like it much better

I am 28 and have been street riding on a bmx since 1995. Then I moved to a new location and couldnt ride. Job and all kinda got in the way. Now that I have more free time I got back into riding but now I ride a 26". To me it seems like a 26" is easier to ride.

Yeah definately is easier to ride 26", the odd time i used to jump my BMX i used to feel so unstable and i also rode a 24" for a bit and even that didnt feel anywhere near as good! i am sure that it depends on the rider and what your used to though!
