At the age of 24 I am still in prime condition to be shredding ramps which I do on a daily basis. I look around though and everyone there is either 16 or below I swear. No hair on nuts, no nuts period because there stupid girl pants but I think I need to get the fuck out of the Midwest and head to Texas.These fuckin kids and there hip shoes

Not to mention everyday I have some 15 year old asking for a ride somewhere. Asking to buy them smokes and what not. My favorite is when they talk about how far they have gone with a girl subject which comes up everyday. Then they ask me and I just give them this shitty grin. what am I suppose to tell these kids, I drink every night untill I offend someone or get laid, I am a womanizer, I manage a meat department and I am not interested in "Hooking a brother up" with some smokes

I'll be 25 soon, and I feel real old at the park. 12 year olds that couldn't do anything last year are out there riding way better than I can.My only saving grace is that I go way faster than those little shitstains.

Don't move out or the Midwest....it's sweet here. I'm 37 and starting to feel old everywhere but the skatepark. If we're at a skatepark at all then we're all young at heart and I think that's better than actually being young. We're adults with jobs, wives, and homes, but still able to shred on these little kids bikes...we have the best of both worlds. Jaimy

I'm probably the youngest posting in this forum so far, being 23 and nearly 24, but I'm still complaining. I feel old when I crash and it hurts to get up then and the next day. Instead of being psyched on the younger crowd I seem to find their faults and run with it. I'm happy I can buy beer, get trashed, ride my bike, be a nomad and smile.

I saw a Dak/Williams/Dehart/Cleveland clone today at the skatepark, complete with a comeup shirt, fit drop stem, and a reservoir tip hat. Pretty sure he was picked up by his mom. Watching him ride made me cringe. Knees together and squatting inches above his slammed seat at all times. Yuck.

Ever since we got a cement park last summer, the prefab park is always empty except for maybe a kid here and there. It's nice. If I'm in a good mood I'll head to the cement park and dodge kids for half an hour before getting pissed. That's when I'll pick up some Beast Ice and head to the pre fab.

Very well said. I think bmx is a sort of fountain of youth. Although it still can amke you age faster due to injuries.

Where I usually ride, I'm almost always the oldest guy at the park, but when I have time to ride it's usually pretty empty. There's an older skater guy that I exchange pleasantries with and can semi-relate to. I pretty much stick to myself and am happiest when no one else is around, but then again, that's pretty much true off the bike as it is on it, and is as much a function of my personality as it is of my age. Stupid kids. Scram.

So I just got back from my "training" session today and it was the same thing. Heres the kicker though I left my toolbox at home which I never do and sure enough I snap my peddle in half and put a hole in my shin the size of an elephant poop. So I'm asking all these fucks if they have a wrench to borrow and none of them carry tools with them. They all have backpacks that are filled with snacks and god knows what else. I swear out of 10-15 bikers not a single one had a wrench. HOW THE FUCK DO THEY FIX THERE BIKE WHEN THEY BREAK IT???Wait a minute thats right none of them do a god damn thing except bug me to buy them smokes. So my session gets cut short while I play with this hole in my shin

I am probably the bane of skatepark moms. I tell their kids "you've got it, just go faster/pull up harder." I did manage to get my 10 year old neighbor to do a no hander out of a 6 foot bowl last night. I am all about the kids.

I got it real bad. I'm shaving my head when I turn 25. Few more months. I might do it when it gets hot enough to get a tan in a day on my freshly shaven head, but we'll see. I used to make fun of my balding dad, but I caught up to him, and then passed him about a year ago. Karma.

I want to wear them so bad but I have shadow pads and I can't move my legs for shit.... I'm scared to waste money on other pads and end up with the same results.
