Title: Thinking of getting back into BMX Racing aged 32, where do I start????
Post by: tommyshearing on July 09, 2007, 03:54 PM

I brought a 83 Quadangle from Alan’s a few years back  (I raced a Robinson back in the 80’s just locally)  and wouldn’t mind using it in vengeance.   

Roughly how many meets are yearly for those aged 30 plus, I’m figuring the emphasis is more on having a laugh and sinking a few beers, however I’m sure once start gate go up people take it serious enough.  I noticed people like Tim Marsh and Andy Preston, mentioned on Alan's Old School site, certainly remember them from reading BMX Bi-Weekly and watching the Kellogs!!!

Where about's in the UK are you. If your in the South East there's a great old school series running that the organisers are trying to take nationally next year.

Old School racing is a great laugh though and although some do take it seriously there is a great deal of fun to be had at the races.
