So I'm a 37 year old kid. I've always wanted to race BMX. I can literally remember cutting pictures out of BMX magazines and hanging them on my wall. Never could afford a good bike nor had transportation to a track. Last summer I decided to suck it up, buy a used Staats bike and get an ABA Memebership here. I went to a few practices and road the track. I met a few other older guys that were either riding because their kid rides or raced in the 80s and wanted to rekindle the fun. I bought a few BMX videos and talked to guys about how to pump and manual instead of flying over the jumps. Well the last practice day I saw an older guy flip over his bars and break his collarbone! The next day I sold my bike and quit.

Now the bug is biting me again. Any ideas? I'm scared of crashing and being hurt at my age.
