I wasn't really sure what to expect when I got invited to Corby many moons ago to try BMXing.
Now I've got my own bike and I'm out twice a week I'm loving it. Especially loving pushing boundaries and conquering fears. Just rad Spesh's post about facing fears and I realised it don't matter what level you are at or how quickly you are progressing there is always something that will push you. I'm a proper newbie having not riden a BMX BITD so all this is new but everyone should be made to try it!!!!
Just had to share! (Might be the 4 hours sleep and long drive today with a stinker of a hangover which is making me what to share this but I don't care!)

nice one fella im 40 and still learning,dont care what peeps think im at the age that if i dont do it now i never will
we never had spine ramps bitd so that was a major hurdle for me i kept saying to myself"youve got the bike and the gear youve overcome the embarressment of riding a "kids"bike(totally unwarranted of course)and this is what you came to do,now f#cking get on with it!" and im so glad i did it.
still gotta crack those aerials yet, thats my main goal is to get some air above the coping like my old school idols

Yeah - that's the thing - everytime I go I try and do something I've not done before - some small and others a real big step forward, but its a really good feeling when you do it.
I just need now to stop fannying around wasting time psyching myself up (or out of it) and just do it!

nice one B. glad you're enjoying the ride.
i for one, am desperate to learn to air. when i got back into riding, about two years ago, the only thing i wanted to do was to air. i didn't care about any of the flatland tricks i had spent half my life perfecting.
two years on, i am still trying to find me bo***cks to go for it properly. okay, i've managed to get out the top a few times, but not what i call properly. hopefully i'll achieve my goal before i hang up my knee pads for good.
