bmx -> fixed -> bmx
I'm guessing a lot of us used to ride bmx. dirt or street, whatever. anyone stop riding bmx entirely or do you do both now? I stopped riding bmx for a few years then went to a local trail when I was 19 to try it again and broke 2 ribs on the first jump. I've pretty much been on a road or track bike for the last 7 years.
Then last week I found this TV channel that showed a ton of street riding and suddenly I really missed doing that stuff. The next day some kid did a 180 off a curb next to me. That night in a dream I was doing all kinds of flatland tricks on my track bike!
Tomorrow I'm pulling my 80s diamondback out of my grandparent's shed to take back to the city with me.
Do any of you fixed riders miss bmx? Still do it? How old are you? I feel like I'm cheating on my track bike.
