Title: If you could go back 20-25 years ago....
Post by: Trev on June 26, 2007, 11:26 PM
.....what would you do differently BMX wise?

And I don't mean buy lots of PK Rippers and TA's and stash them away.  Remember, you'd just be a kid and wouldn't be able to afford lots of expensive bikes.

If i could go back to 1995 i'd have pushed way harder for treatment on my knee and followed my dream of moving to the USA on an already approved scholarship and raced BMX. :'( :'(

Hey Ho if i'd have done that i wouln't have my 2 fabulous little men :daumenhoch:

Tail whip, over dirt. I think without my adult fear it's something i could have learnt and it's my favorite trick  :daumenhoch:

i played about with footplant tailwhips last year and neally had them in just a few goes but then i did my scrotum and it's history.

yep, i shouldn't have stopped racing and riding too. i also would never have sold my favourite bike, the 1982 redline proline 2. by 1983 i had it perfect. i'll show my 1983 race bike replica as soon as i get these wheels laced and finished.

With regard to BMX, I wouldn't have done anything differently.  I started racing in 1981 finished in 1985, just right I say.  Then I spend the next 22 years drinking and taking copious amounts of class A's...............   Sorted!!!!

Oh, I wouldn't have married the 1st wife.... what a bitch she was   :LolLolLolLol:

25 years ago.....BMX wise,
i wish i had kept going for a few more years, and learnt how to race properly......, something for next year perhaps !

20 years ago......Elsewhere;
I wish I hadn't given up Tae-kwon-do - i'd be quite good now !

Money;

Going back 25 years I would have still been a late developer amongst my racing field and would have still felt lucky getting through to the odd final, so racing wise I did the best I could.  :)

Freestyle wise, I would have the bollx to get on with some wicked tricks I didn't have the guts to do bitd. :(

Oh yeh, I wouldn't have stored my beloved DP Delta with Skyways and Renthal bars and seatpost in Dads garage years later, only to be 'nicked', from said garage.  But I'm not bitter >:(

If I could go back 25 years I would have bought a pair of Araya Aeros with my birthday money rather than a set of
fashionable Z rims


If I did that then I wouldn't have spent the most part of the 80s trying to get my brakes to work!
