Jake Umberger 37
riding flat since '86.
Never actually quit, but slowed down a ton from 2002 to 2004 (marriage) and 2005 to 2009 (divorce). Now riding full on and loving it.
Actually decided to pick it up more/again to quit smoking. Figured out that cigarettes replaced the rush I used to get from riding. Riding is cheaper and better for you.
Take that as a lesson kids! Don't smoke!

I'm not nearly the oldest, I turned 40 this past August. But I do ride, started in 1984-96, took time off from riding to start a family around 97-98. Got back into it early 2008 after checking out a few videos of Jesse Puente(former riding buddy) and Rad Dad. I purchased a used Mongoose from craigslist and slowly got back into riding. I now host an annual jam, and hope to grow it into a contest series at some point. I love riding, and hope to get my sons involved over the course of the next few years...Ride On!!!

Nice Ruedog! Welcome to Club 40!!
Next friday I will hit 43...We just keep getting older and learning more tricks. So age is defintaly not a factor in learning things that you don't know how to do.
Keep on Riding!

Hi there! My roots are in flatland, which I still practice a bit. I began in 1983, but "officially' in Dec. 85 with my first true freestyle bike (MT Racing Trickfox). Around 2003-04 i began getting much more involved with street and park riding, but still doing some old school flatland stuff here and there. Now, I'm 40, nursing a broken knee since March 2010, and looking forward to my comeback, which already has slowly begun with, ironically, flatland...
Mutt, Moncho and all other old schoolers rule!

I am 42. My Schwinn Scrambler was stolen in June, 1984. It was replaced with a Hutch Pro Raider. My parents did not believe in spending a lot of money on a childs bike. Turns out it had a front brake. The day I got it I took it for a ride and one of the local riders stopped me to look over my bike. I was embarrassed since all these guys rode P.K.s and GTs Red Lines and real Hutches I had a $200 knock of.
So he jumps on it and starts doing rock walks, front wheel hops back wheel hops and I was blown away. I mean it was only '84 so bikes really weren't designed for trick riding but I was hooked. By the following summer I had pegs and all I did was ride. I quit racing by '86

I started riding in 1979/80, then started competing in 1982 (racing) and have not stopped yet and do not intend to stop any time soon. I am only 44 now but 32 years of it have been on a bmx.
