learning BMX tricks as an adult

[slideNotRide]

When I was a kid I was a huge nerd and my dad introduced me to road biking. I never learned to do any jumps or anything because I was a very cautious rider, and I just wanted to get to my destination. My partner grew up doing BMX racing and trails, and we now live close to a skatepark.
This gives me way more motivation to exercise than a regular gym. I may never be able to do things that someone who started at age 4 can do, but I hope than in the next few years I will be able to do some basic tricks.

…and depending on your age, your body may never repair as quickly either !

lol true, hence the username! I always wear a full face helmet, gloves, and shin/knee guards when attempting any tricks

My dad is also into motorcycles and he taught me "dress for the slide, not the ride". I don't think I would get a motorcycle, but I will certainly take the safety gear!

You’re never too old to learn new tricks. You CAN be too old to recover quickly though. Ask me how I know. lol.
