43 and still at it!

teamrandr · 2012-05-03 8:19pm

I know exactly how you feel. Let's just say I did a fair share of partying from high school to age 25. When I started riding again I couldn't believe how out of shape I was. I have been trying to ride daily and it hasn't been easy but it is a challenge. Just keep at it, you will only get in better shape and if you keep practicing you will be amazed at what you can pick up.

I'm on the I pad, I think I need to go back to the lap top.

We shut up, then we ride. The more we do those two things, the easier it becomes. Welcome to the madness.

I live 10 minutes away from Ray's MTB and I see dudes in their late 40's and 50's clear the Expert Section like a boss.

52 here, and I do about 50 miles a week on my 26" Firemans Texas Cruzer, plus 20 commuting miles a week on my singlespeed road bike, plus a weekly night ride. You're as young as you feel -- dump your car and GET CRUZEN.

You know what bmx has no age limit, I'm 27 I feel like and still act like I'm 16-18
And bmx is to damn expensive when our really young. Well at least to have a half way nice bike

Bmx (for me) is way easier on my knees then any other hard core sport like skating and pushing wood
You my friend need practice you need to streching out them muscles before you ride, he'll I strech ever a.m I do exactly what I do before I go ride but right at my tool box.

Keep rideing and it will all come back. Hell I wnt from flatland when I was a kid, to rollerblading ( because the only local parks only let skaters and skateboarders in) back to bikes now I ride street/park!!! I love it man so fun!!!

wokii · 2012-05-04 5:45am

I just turned 45 and I just enjoy ridding because I hurt in the morning. I am only young at heart now.

35 and in the same bunny hopping rut after a year of being back on a bike.

I'm 36 and recently started riding/collecting again. The first time I went out for a serious ride, things felt great...until the next day. I was sore in places I didn't know I could get sore. Next time I rode I was fine the next day. I think there are muscles that I only use riding a bike that had been dormant for 20 years!

coffin2death · 2012-05-04 9:46am

it does get easier! like the last poster said, riding taxes muscles we haven't used for years.
