I've love to have had a BMX, but by the time they were available here I was already wayyy to big for one

cute.... that's what your stunt pegs are for

Utterly foolish and you won't use it after a couple of weeks. I love it!

I think you need a bit of lay back for some old school looks.

To be honest the kids in the street have spent more time on it than me. Have been showing them there is more than just going up and down the street. Now they know how to fall off.😆 but they love it. Ordered some cones of ebay, and i am making a seesaw ramp for them.👍

Nutter. Bet you are the coolest grandad of them all.

We regularly see a load of restored BMX's at the Rhyl air show - they cycle down from Prestatyn - about 6 miles. They always look half dead riding that far - PS all are middle aged men.

Since i got the first bmx three of the kids in the street have bought one. and one of the other kids is looking to get one. Looks like we will have to find a bit of land to play on.🤣

Must admit i keep thinking about one. Used to race BMX in the early 80's but much preferred Freestyle, reckon i could wreck some rims with my weight these days though.....
