44 years old. Damn, I'm 44. It sounds really old when you say it out load. Anyway. Started Flatland riding less than a month ago. My wife bought my bike for me for my 44th b-day because she didn't know what else to get me and was tired of listening to me say "Someday i'm gonna get one of those flatland bikes and learn some cool tricks." Well, today is the day!!!!It's nice to see other old farts out there beating their shins up instead of sitting on the couch yelling at the TV about how they could play better "Fill in Sport Here" than those A-holes. Keep in up guys and remember it's Olds Cool not Old School.Jake
Sup all, Im 30 years old, about to hit 31 in 3 months.Im American but live in Okinawa Japan where i ride with the Locals. Originally from Long Beach California, I had many bmx bikes as a kid and teen years.. my favorite was a GT Performer and a Diamond Back i had in 93. Im a snowboarder/Skater by nature... But during the summer while living in alaska in 2002 i needed a hobby .. decided to buy a REDLINE C-Note and start some street riding. I soon bought a motorcycle and focused on that in the summers... While in Japan i have been into cars.. (S14silvia for you car people). Well, i wanted a change.. took my bike back out and met up with a local flatlanding in my neighborhood. Went to the local biek shop "RideHot" a few weeks ago and he was talkin about how heavy my bike was and that if i bought the parts i wanted he would be ripping me off because i could buy a complete for a hundered or so more... 2 days later i bought a flatland bike and have been practicing every day since.. i love it.. and im getting some of the old moves back.. slowly but surely.
