Title: hello from kent
Post by: ju8tin on November 10, 2014, 05:22 PM: Hello everyone, ive been working in the cyclopark in gravesend fitting some drainage and it got me missing my youth so I went out and bought a bmx!-) im 31 and aint rode since I started driving about 12 years ago, last bike I rode was a fireblade I had earlier this year lol! Anyway I saw the pro bmx dirt track there and have wrangled a few mates up and the cyclopark guy we are dealing with has given us a free day there on saturday... gonna hurt ourselves I think!
Bought a gt race series 0.5 of ebay in good condition for 45 quid, was a steal right? Only weighs 11kg/24.6lb too...
Any other older bikers around on here?

tbh you're a bit young compared to most of us on here, but then we make up for that by refusing to grow up

Post by: ju8tin on November 10, 2014, 06:50 PM: Well thats good, get some funny looks from my fellow builders when I tell em ive brought a bmx, hopeing to get some good moves before my 1 year old gets going, like the idea of taking him to some skateparks in a few years without looking like a right tool! I saw a little united balance bike on source yesterday! -)

Also will the maxxis dirt tyres be ok for some light park fun or will they be too slippy?

Post by: ju8tin on November 10, 2014, 08:54 PM: Cool that's what I was looking for tbh, I know my bikes hardly retro at a 2001 but wanted to find some like minded blokes!-) the late 90's is to me what the late 80's was to 40+ dudes... spent alot of time bmxing skateboarding and blading, building ramps, street riding ect....
So im one of the youngest.... whoop.
