I raced from about 5-10, then again from 12-14...in between I rode dirt jumps...and afterwards for a bit in HS...then I graduated to a dirtbike.

 

used to be into it from 3rd grade all the way through junior high, i really wanted to get good at it, mainly dirt jumping, but i just wasnt good enough.

to this day, i'd be happy if i'd learn how to manual more than a basketball court's length. i freagn have dreams about doing manuals its so bad.

the extent of my skills (other than stupid no handed cruising etc) probably came down to 1 foot bunnyhops (on a good day) and 180 bunnyhops, not moving. man come to think of it, i just wasnt a good rider.

someone teach me how to wheelie on my mtn bike so i can learn how to manual on that bish!

 

i used to build jumps all over the neighborhood when i was a kid.

i still have my redline proline in the garage.

 

ya used to ride like two years ago before got a car and lazy. i used to build jumps all around the house, i liked to a little of everything. but the only i was really any good at was racing. took third and first in the nationals, and was sponsored but ya it was fun when i was younger

 

me and my friends are all about 20 and we go to cities to ride and they are like skateparks, ive just now been trying to do rails, can get up to stem and bar hight but just havent tried to go down any stairs yet im just now getting back into it. moved to mississippi for a year and left my bike behind and when the hurricane it i came bac to where i am now and picked it up again.

 

nothing looks better than a pimped out acura with a bike rack on the back with about 2 or 3 bikes on it.

 

This guy up the street from me whas sponsored a few years ago. I think he still is. He was/is a downhill offroad racer. Beautiful Schwinn..Over $6500, when he wrecked that one from a crash, he got another one. He didn't need to pay a dime.

 

ya it was nice to be sponsored all the free shit

 

with all the carazy shit the pros are doin its kinda hard to get sponsored, you have to do some pretty crazy stuff. cant do simple handrails or barspins, you gotta do backflip tailwhips.
