BMX progression as a 35 year old

Just getting back into it, I have a feeling this may be a long journey. So I thought I would document it.
Mainly doing it so when the kid gets a bit older I can ride with him wether he skates, boards, scooters or rides.

G'day mate. Good to see you not giving up. I'm 55 and having a go at some basic old school tricks and plan to do some low level dirt jumping with my grandson.

[@littledevilchris666]

Good on you man , enjoy yourself ! Make some class memories 👍👍

[@darrenrogers5735]

Will do man. Thanks for your reply and keep enjoying your riding!@@littledevilchris666

I'd rather be the old guy at a skate park than the old guy at a house party. Ride on, my fellow geezer!

Oh the absolute magic of finally nailing down the proper technique. You knew how it was supposed to be done all along and when it finally clicks, you wonder what possibly took you so long to figure it out. That's what is so satisfying about freestyle sports and all creative endeavors. I grew up skateboarding everyday. Eventually that lead to Snowboarding. Possibly my finest hour was the day I learned to beat match on Technic 12's. It alluded me for so long, no matter how hard I tried. Then one day it all clicked. Ten plus years out of that game, and I promise you I'd figure that out within a few minutes. That's just how it goes. Technics, its right in the name. Obviously you are having a blast so no need to tell you to keep at it. Im just glad to have come across this video. 50 years old last month, and I can still skateboard, snowboard and yes, play like a proper vinyl DJ. You are never too old to embrace that which you love. Cheers, Michael in Toronto.

[@littledevilchris666]

Thanks buddy , glad to hear it! I think we are only as old as we think we are. Hope I’m still doing it by the time in 50 too bro 👍👍👍

Just hopped back on the bike for the first time in 4 years at the age of 39. after 3 sessions I am feeling better but far far away from where i was. It's fun to look at it from a different set of eyes. This video was awesome.

Cool park driver......😉 Nice time from germany. (56years oldschool bmx driver)

[@gypsykatie5132]

Started back riding at 37 and broke my leg, 5 years ago to the day. Spent the day riding our new skatepark today and regret ever stopping, thanks for the inspiration 🤘

[@littledevilchris666]

Keep it up, just enjoy yourself, I have slowed down a bit and am trying to get a bit more techy(failing miserably as I have rubbish balance skills) but it’s smaller risk with the fun reward still

Imagine going to a&e as a 37 year old after breaking your leg on a bmx … embarrassing

youre killing it bro! Keep progressing!

I'm kinda wanting to BMX in my thirties because it looks easier on the body than skating has been. And I want bike skills, regardless of what bike I ride. If I can bunny hop I'll be hella happy

[@korodski]

Hell yeah man do it

I’m 30 years old and I want to get into bmx for weight loss

[@shawnmuench]

@@sylikacampbell1628 it’s a workout I’m cooling off on it because my wrists are so weak. I biffed it and my thumb is a little numb still. Being a piano player I have to curate my hobbies, so I guess I’ll stick with skating. The falls are less abrupt, I feel. Bike crashes happen faster I think. You don’t know they’re coming.

[@emanthegman9511]

Mate I'm on the same page, I'm 24 and only just getting back into bmx, I used to ride street and not at the skatepark so it'll actually also be my first time at the local skatepark and I'm hyped, I'm also thinking of upgrading to new bmx but not too sure on that, the one I have has got custom parts on, we'll see I guess, but its great to see others getting into bmx it motivates me to ride even more.

[@kba8661]

Me too! i just purchased a new bmx and ive been trying to get into it more and more. Im gonna be sad when the snow falls though...

[@emanthegman9511]

I went with the Fit Series One (LG) 2023 with the sunkist pearl colour - the only thing I would do different is get one with double wall rims.

making a point about age gets old. it’s like the minute u stop living is when you are finished sure at a younger age energy might a bit more potent & flexibility. Quality of life is a bike. Idk why I set a bike down, when I found myself on again, it’s been nearly every day since, first thing every morning out. & I still eat ass

[@ryansroad22]

Mate 34 and I’ve just got on a BMX this year, so this is beautiful to watch! currently building a skate ramp in my garden and plan on doing some BMX content for my own channel. Keep up the progress vids and I’ll drop a sub now after writing this 😎👍👍

[@jonlaird5082]

Good progression man 👍. I'm 39 and just started back riding bmx again as my wife wanted us to go for bike rides for 'exercise'. So I dug my 03' T1 barcode out of storage and tell her every bike ride that 'I might as well hit the skatepark being we're riding padt it anyway' lol. But man I know my back and knees are not amused and probably brung back memories by going big like when I was 20 by hucking my heavyweight bike around 😂

[@littledevilchris666]

Awsome to hear, buy some 9 inch plus rise handlebars for it , you will thank me later 👋 t1 barcode was such a awsome frame !

[@jonlaird5082]

@littledevilchris666 I thought about getting bigger bars, but my 5' 2" in frame didn't feel comfortable. But I did get 8" bars which helped as my old bars were 7.5" lol. Yeah I love my barcode,most comfortable frame I ever rode. Although the few kids st my local skatepark like it but complained it's to heavy. They could barely bunny hop it,lol
