TwoBobRob:
Rode 82-84. Then like so many others saw High5 with Hoffman in '93..... August, actually. By Jan '94 I had my own indoor vert ramp ;D ;D And absolutely no idea how to ride it! Met Radders during that year and rode with him as much as possible and learned a lot. Lost that ramp a year later (busybody council >:() and have been in search of the perfect vert ramp ever since.
Packed in again in 2000, then met RomBloke and Pat (who I hadn't seen for 20+yrs) at Rom in late 2004. Have been riding regularly since then. Happy days. Now ride 3 times a week at 3 different venues and am probably riding the best I ever have, at 38 years old.
Who'd have thought it..........
bmxmatt1974:
had first bike christmas 81, rode till about 88 then started skating. got back into riding aout 94 and been riding ever since so only a 6 year gap for me.
Rombloke:
got rid of the grifter christmas '79 for the second bmx in my neighbourhood....chrome murray 340
stopped riding in '84 or '85....its still slightly unclear exactly as my hormones were playing up what with thoughts of young ladys on my mind 24/7
got Rhys a new haro last year and took him to rom.....got told about VBMX by one of the skaters at the park...went and joined, met up with stupps, rob, and pat at rom a few weeks later and tried to ride once a week since, (not including my mr potatao head period)
so i make that 19 years......far too long in my book and gutted i missed the best part of 20 years without even thinking about bmx
