Am I to old for this sort of thing.......?

i've got mates who are 50 & riding 5days a week, logging quality miles & still trying the big drops. after years of just doing "normal" rides I'm slowly working back the confidence I had when I was younger. jumps/skids & wheelies are all fun, never be ashamed of that :D
 
Well, I'm 28 and still do that sort of stuff. Try and stop me!

In fact a month or so back with the help of 2 flower pots and a broom I practised my bunny hops in the back garden!

There is also a nice flight of steps in the village that I regularly ride down; in fact I taught my 9 year old son to ride them as well!!

Mike and I always do steps and the like when we're out an about :lol:

Good work! My four year was watching some highlites of the Nissan Qashqai Challenge on Eurosport and asked me if he can have lessons to ride like that

But urban freeriding is great fun - just on a suitable steed :wink:
 
If you need an excuse to go out and play then take the kids with you... it's a good way of getting round leaving the missus at home without her giving you grief as well. Keeps them out of her hair and you get to teach them tricks (or just try and show off)!

I do exactly the same thing round our bland and faceless new-build estate whilst headed home after a ride... Hell, I still own a skateboard!

Have to admit it was my 6 year old Cameron that is to blame for all this too.

He started doing wheelies and endo's (intended not accidental) and that reawakened my childish side, we to take great pleasure in going down steps and even thou he loves skids I still feel guilty about them.

Prob. the scottish mentality of wasted rubber that holds me back. :roll:
 
Some kids along my road built a plywood ramp that they wheel out of a Summer's evening. I wish I wasn't commuting on my road bike every time I saw them ...
