Anyone know if there are any older groups of riders riding BMX in Essex (By older I mean 30+). I knew I shouldn't have started watching xgames. |

Paul Batemen from Rayleigh rides and most of the Hadleigh guys seem to have one as well but not sure they'd be xgames material... |

If you go to most skate parks before mid day they are nearly always empty. Too early for teenagers! I used to go to the one ones in Colchester with my little boy so a) I didn't look like a tit, being a more more mature gentleman on a BMX (36) and b) so my 5 year old doesn't get wiped out by the brakeless teens. Once you have a few skills i.e... you can manual and fakie a couple of meters without falling off you'll be a good as 90% of the nippers anyway. That all said, I've sold my BMX. Too many bikes, not enough time to ride them all! |

Might well have to ask if i can add a bmx session to the ride calender It's weird when I rode BMX as a kid I don't remember seeing anyone over about 20 but that being said Andy Ruffle was only about 20 then lol so I guess there wasn't really an older generation of riders back then |
