Title: Help the newbie
Post by: Lee Shurey on February 11, 2008, 08:56 PM

Hi Chaps
So after 25yrs of being out of bmx and at the ripe old age of 41 i fancy racing again so help is needed
1. what do i need to race in the old school series
2. what frame can i use with a decent length top tube
3. what are the rules and regs (or is just turn up and race)

Thanks
Lee

Back then i could do this but NOW i would just be happy to get round without spewing up!!
