I reaching the big 50, started riding again in my early 40's. At first it was hard all these muscles not being used in that way for a good while. but once the soreness subsided, all the tricks started to come back. Bikes have changed a lot now. Longer , taller, and shorter rear triangle, makes vast differences in the way the bike handles. I rediscovered Riding is my Zen moment, it lets me spool down from the day and clear my mind.
I am 43 years old started again in Sunday darkwave and it is very response.Then I am going step by step, because I don’t know this bike, but it is so good.
I started at 40s. I'm 42 now. I take It easy to avoid injuries. I Just want to have fun and learn some tricks.
37 and recently got into bmx for the first time..pure struggles!
same 😅
Im 37 & still riding BMX, it's a great sport to keep you in shape, its not mandatory to do big trick, it's just having fun.
*Age is just a number*
(Greetings from Dubai, UAE 🇦🇪)
Im in 40s ..as long as your having fun it's what matters
I’m still riding at 54 💪🏼👴🏻
Keep on shredding brother!!!!!!
I started about three years ago now i’m 49 but I plan riding into my 50’s. Skateparks are so fun!
I just got into riding earlier this year. I'm 41 and finding out that my issues are more mental than physical. Something that seems simple will scare the crap out of me.
That’s me for learning how to air above coping.
I've yet to master that one as well. I know I can do it, but my brain won't let me.
@@familybikeadventures been riding the local bowls and everytime i ride i just try to go a little faster and its getting easier. Im over coping but i havent learned to really boost it yet. everytime it gets a little bit more comfortable though
It's an issue for all of us 😂
You got this bro
I'm already in my fifties and I'm right along with Eddie fiola, I feel some of us oldies are coming back into it again,
#kids of the bmx 80s
I’m 42, started riding BMX about four years back. Absolutely love it, literally changed my life.
I'm 53, bought my first bike in 81. it was a Kuwahara. I bought it myself mowing lawns in the neighborhood. it was the first of many Haros Masters and several Tricks Stars. Buying a bike again just to flatland.
You rock my dude!! I'm 41 just deciding to get back in bmx. I haven't really rode in 15 to 20 plus years. You're videos are very motivating. I served 6 years in the Army and now I'm retired ptsd etc... I plan on using riding as therapy.
Grew up riding Bmx bikes back in the 80s. Was out of it for 30 years!! Decided I wanted a bike for my 46th birthday in December of 2020. The wife bought me a Sunday Soundwave complete. Fell in love with the bike and with Bmx again. Fast forward to this past December and the wife asked me again what I wanted for my now 47th birthday . I said "what else!? Another Bmx bike". This time I went with We The People Battleship complete. Amazing bike for sure and now I've found my fountain of youth.
15 Jahre lange bin ich nicht mehr als 2 mal im Jahr BMX gefahren. Jetzt bin ich 35 und habe wieder angefangen. Eine super Entscheidung. Mein altes Bike fahre ich nicht mehr. Die aktuellen Bikes sind wahnsinnig gut! Jeder der mit dem Gedanken spielt sollte sich keine Sorgen machen. Es lohnt sich.
I'm not getting back into BMX, I'm 41 and giving it my first shot ever
I’m 32 and my son is 8 got back in to bmx to ride with him. Loving it even if I’m sore 😂
I'm 50 now and definitely an 80s 90s rider here. I'm going to get back into flatland and some street along with some skatepark action. Thanks for this video Mike. I've heard your name for a long time. i used to work with Ian Haynes when he did the Evolved1980 clothing.
Just what I needed to see. I recently got back into it at 49 after being away for 25 years. The key I find is staying within your comfort zone and going slowly. I got my table tops back as well as other tricks I had back in the 90s and 80s when I started. Never too old to rip. NEVER.
100% agree. Plus always helpful to stay in shape! I'm a better rider now at almost 42 then I was in my mid 20's and in better shape than kids 1/2 my age 🤔
@@dieseldabz7104 YES! Staying in shape is also key. I work out couple times a week...if i dont my body falls apart. Ive had torn rotater cuffs, tennis elbow and bakers cyst on my knees in the past. When i dont stay active I HURT. When I do exercise on the regular no issues.
36 and was super nervous to get back into bmx, this solidifies it is time! Great video!
Being a little older and getting back into the sport now I am definitely looking forward to this series. A lot of good points were made in this video that I hadn’t considered before watching. Thanks Mike!
That's true friend. 20 years ago I was riding BMX when the GT Dyno was the best and two days ago I started riding on a sunday darkwave and in the second jump I put it on my hat. I am 43 years old now, and I am waiting to recover my wrist and ankle😂😂😂.Thank you for the video.
Good stuff. Never too late! always worth a try
I wish I was only in my 30's! That's actually pretty damn young. I'm 53. Just bought a bike back in late October. I used to ride back in the 80's and early 90''s. I bought a 2023 Kink Whip.
I just build and show off my old school Bmx bikes. I don’t ride them as much. I just enjoy adding and removing parts , pegs, bars , switching color tires , seats etc…I just love the old school era. I’m 47 now. Maybe I’ll try a trick later today. I just gotta finish installing this gyro on my Gt Pro Performer 😎Stay Rad 🤙
GT Dyno is a beautiful BMX
I'm in my 50s and can't ride anymore cause I need a hip replacement but meanwhile I love tearing down and building up bikes
I'm glad there is still guys like this in bmx i just got into riding since my work injury my body is all jack and i barely just reached my first quarter.
im 50 and i want to lean how to wheelie and do just basic straight jumps...LOL
Great video just got a new bmx after 20 years 35 now found it hard but getting there
appreciate this man, not quite 30 yet, but fast approaching, and recovering from injuries and just started riding this past year or so after nearly 10 years haha
I have just bought an old Intense Moto Expert XL ( not sure what year, but it has a steel frame) just for a bit of fun, I won't do anything competitive though as I have upper back problems. I am a 54 y.o. female. I used to race BMX 40 years ago.
Didn't want to spend a lot on a bike this time.
This was an awesome upload Chief!!!!!!
Great video man really good timing to pop up for me, I’m about to be 33 and havnt rode in over 6 years, Iv had 2 back surgery’s since I was 21 from over rotating flips back in the day and landing on my ass over and over, but now I just want to pump a track and build a 22 inch bike
My first good bike in the 80s was diamondback. But it was dirt.
Dude the Trek subspecies was my Jam! I remember the gyro from the subvert 3. Last but not least the game changing Trek y issue.
After some 15 years I decided to go back, I'm 40 now and injuries are a huge demotivator, you forgot to talk about protective gear, helmets, knee pads, chin pads, shoulder pads and even chest pads are almost a must when you're learning back all those skills. It doesn't matter if they make you look like a goof ball, you'll be the old guy in the park anyway. Safety first.
The legs are key man. Watch some older riders, like 40 or 50 yo pros. Their legs always go stiff. I'm finding pumping round the bowl is helping muscle up, but thinking I need to adjust diet for maximum energy
Eating right is a key factor to staying or getting in shape.
@@dieseldabz7104 yea man, it's interesting to learn about too
At 40 for me it's the old injuries that hurt most. I have to wear ankle braces but still love to get out and have fun. I stick to basic things 180s 360s feeble and Smith grinds.
I'm late, but this is the content i need 😂
I'm 38 and getting back into bmx. I'm thinking about getting a new school bike but I still ride my 03' T1 barcode. Alot of local kids can barely bunny hop it and they get amazed (also annoyed) as I can still bunny hop it,do table tops,fufanu's etc. 😄 I always get asked how I can do these tricks on such a heavy bike,lol
I just restarted again. Spend some time to get wrist strength back. I’m on a 6week vacation with a wrist injury now from bunny hopping higher than I should of
man i must have lived in fucked up areas because getting off your bike and turning your back is crazy to me!!!
I'm just starting to learn box jumps, I need to know some good beginner tricks to start with. I tried to do a one hander, sometimes when I let go my bike starts to fall away from me, do you have to pinch the seat with a one hander?
32 and got back into last year, used to hit sketchy jumps as a kid and have been doing street trials for last 4 or 5 years, any tips for not getting dizzy in a bowl? 4 or 5 hops to my good side and ive got to roll out and get my bearings
I just hit 30. I have sciatica from a broken femur and still ride. Won’t stop till I’m dead.
Dude I could make a short novel listing ALL my broken bones and injuries. Worst being my 3 breaks in 2 disks in my neck and I STILL ride(well did until bike stolen)
@@dieseldabz7104 I only broke my right femur and ankle, left heal and smashed a few teeth out (snapped jump bike frame) pretty much my entire right leg is metal tho
Im 28 and just got a Gap XL a few months back, I was looking at bigger bike like 24s or 26s and had found and wanted a dynacraft krusher fat tire just get to an from work during the good days of Oklahoma (sadly I made a mistake of ordering from Amazon). During this period of waiting forever an day for my fat tire bike to show up Nostalgia hit an was looking at 20" bikes an then was told my fat tire bike had been damaged during shipping 😢 i bummed out so I started to do some looking around for a 20" bike not knowing what i was looking for just something to ride as I missed the rush an freedoms an Therapeutic of hoping on a bike an riding i ended up with going to the only bike shop here in town an walked out with the most sexiest green bike i have ever seen an hadn't really ridden it til Tuesday and it was fun to finally get out and ride (plan was to go to the skatepark but that didn't happen) but man am i sore lol this Kink Gap XL is my first ever bmx bike that wasn't a Walmart bike and have put in alot of time an money to get parts (got some parts from Albes coming tomorrow 😁)
At 28 im a tad over weight vs what I actually weighed in HS an After (165-180) and out of shape now i feel older than my actual age i guess its from the abuse that happened from doing things that was doing but i wanted to get a bike an start riding again to get back into shape an go to work with(can't ride 7mils to work on a 21 hell no lol)as I work at an AFB an am allowed to use the gym there but i want to get there before my shift so now im looking to get a custom 26" Laird Frame an buy the needed parts an build it up
I'll say this it's been a fun time learning how to maintenance my current setup an putting on aftermarket parts on it
I found it to feel super weird at 40 jumping back on a bmx. Would you recommend a MTB pump track to regain bike control?
Yea Delaware!!
would love a video on grinds and stalls to do without pegs though :)
I'm 33 I got back In to riding. Fractured my elbow and now I'm back on the bike
I had some mini bars when I came back lol. The taller bars are way better. Ibuprofen is a life saver
Two people I think of right away Matt hoffman and Brian foster
I am this person. Been back on after a twelve year break got almost a year now. The only main issue I’m having is I get way too ahead of myself. Trying to do things that used to be simple. Never had stitches nothing as a kid. Already had stitches twice and a messed up leg since I’ve been back on. What are some good recommendations on shingaurds for smaller Cory Berglar type people lol
Neoprene tactical gear, compression pants on top, and then the jeans.
Thanks brother. Appreciate that. Realizing I’m not built like I once was is a grad pill to swallow but I think pads could really help
@@anthonydecker8925 Definitely🤙🏾 They'll have you back sliding down transitions in no time. Well skatelite and metal transitions at least😁
A Huffy and Gary fisher? Pics.
I like I like.
Also do some push ups!
I wish I had just one person with me to ride
So u think I should go with 70 psi mike?
Ride what feels right
I always ride more in the rear tire and front tire a little softer for some give on hard landing
All depends on the tires and weight as well as what you ride. I let pressure out on street and I pump up on park. Good medium for me is like 70 unless I’m going fast. For fast days it’s like 85-90 psi🤘🏽
I'm still running "city" gearing. Its something stupid tall like 36-9 lmao
Where has John been that used to be in your videos?
He quit riding
I feel called out by this title.... LoL
Edit: NO.... I refuse to change my parts out, I love my old parts but I would like to try a freecoaster.
Try a hybrid
@@dieseldabz7104 - I just watched the WTP hybrid coaster introduction video and I am really shocked by that price... $140 is insanely cheap for such an awesome hub thaf can be run both ways and w/ all of that adjustment in the freecoaster settings, now I hope I can find one. Thanks man...
53
Chain wallets lol
Booooo yah never been first
