I'm 22 racing bmx on my standard and have an 84 JMC I also race on occasion can do basic tricks and frame stand on older GT i use to have

I'm 36, 08?Floval Flyer, 08? Staats, 92 Dyno Comp,83 Mongoose Cali. and a 68 Scwhinn. My best trick is peddaling right now

Cool bikes you guys have. I've found that once you build up a basic balance and confidence things get easier. It also seems you learn how to fall or recover to keep from falling when you mess up.

Workin on a decade now. People in the trick section on the forums said it's not as hard as evryone makes it out to be. Just break it down in sections. No big falls on this one yet. Most of my damage came from the firehydrant. Probably cause it was my first trick and it got ugly when spinning around the front of the bike at first.

Time for the old guys to come out to play , I'm 43 my rider at the moment is a 07 Floval I don't do many tricks on it just the odd bunny hop just like to ride it hard and fast on the dirt tracks where I live whilst listening to Danzig full blast on my IPod ..

I'm 35 and ride my S&M Cam Wood V2 when I can go to the city.  Tricks are slowly coming back, but I have reverted to the bad form bunny hop after messing up my shoulder.  I love foot jams, but I approach them too fast, scary and fun except the ones where I went too fast and flip over.  Manuals are not my friend.  Either low and ugly or loof good to loop out.  I have a long way to go, but learing something new every week.  If not riding the Cam, I ride either mid school (S&M or T-1) or bikes from 1987.  I am trying to get all the bikes from my wishlist as a 10 year old.  Just a Haro shy and it will be complete.

im 40 and recovering from back surgery so i ride cruisers..
when i grab a 20.. i can do a small bunnyhop or a wheelie..
dont want to hurt myself anymore..
doin tricks and stuff is what ruined my back!

I'm 44, learned all my tricks BITD on my `85 Pro Performer `86 Sport `87 RL20 and `87 RL20 II.
Current ride is my 2010 Subrosa which is for hitting the Skatepark. Can still do fakie rollbacks and 180's on the ramps. once I add a front brake I hope to relearn most of my flatland routine aswell.
