What I Miss

(1/4) > >>

Zippy:
I really miss meeting up with a bunch of mates in the woods and having some old school racing on homemade tracks that you've designed through the trees.

Proper jeans and T-shirts stuff. We used to do this all the time on the local common when I was a kid, racing through the stream and round some trees, jumping off the roots and such like. I really miss all that proper bmx stuff.

I can't jump for sh1t but I'd love to be able to ride trails. Those big jumps are really intimidating though.  :LolLolLolLol:

muttley:
We used to have good stuff like that too. We had an oval track that was cool and we just used to have races round that and try and drift round the bends speedway style  :coolsmiley:

Then when i moved to Surbiton we had what was a natrual made bmx track that was in the woods wich was cool even when it rained it was dry, had some good times there.

Now i have got Horsham trails wich i plan on hitting big time this year  :4_17_5:

My mum took out 2 littleuns to a track in the woods in Westkingsdown last week and mum said she couldnt work out if the kids were more fascinated by the track or the fact that myself and my brother used to ride around it as children  ;D

back at the end of the 90's we had a little dual slalom track in some woods. pretty good fun, no massive jumps, some small jumps, some doubles, but not big. it was a fast track, down a hill, and you had to watch those roots or you'd find yourself thrown into a tree.
this was mtb not bmx, but the fun is the same...except that a nice little Ds frame with 26" wheels & some 4" travel forks (which was pretty good back then) is much more forgiving than a BMX

had some good fun back in those days, but even then i was too old to be learning new tricks, so f*** knows what I'm doing trying bmx now.  :LolLolLolLol:

It still amazes me what i could still do at 30 and how little i can do now at 37 , sadly years of abuse to my body means bad arthritis now, but ill still keep on trying,   :daumenhoch: io mean thats what it all about, but your right zippy those trail jumps are abit scary  :shocked:
