I just turned 43. I stopped racing in '00 but continued to MTB until '03ish but work and family began to take all my free time. I started riding my cruiser again this past Fall and enjoyed it so much it inspired me to "restore" my 24" and 20" over the winter. Looking forward to Spring!

Mark,
We ride flatland at least 2x per week at the 1300 spot in Lancaster, PA. I'm 34, but one of the youngest of the crew: Kale, Tony MTF, Ivan, Digger, Hammer, Lincoln, Micah, Kev... Flatland keeps me healthy physically and mentally!

I still ride and don't plan on stopping, I'm 25 but I rode mostly 80s bikes all my life. I was riding a 1981 mongoose and a 1988 haro sport up until 2009 then bought a 09 haro freestyler to try out a newer bike with classic looks for flatland and ramps and recently bought a 2012 chromoly retro hoffman condor frame to use for dirt and street. I try to ride about 3 to 4 days a week.

I still ride every few days and it's great to pick a different bike for each ride. Retro Floval one day, Retro OM woodgrain the next! Lately now that the weather is getting better (upstate NY) I am out riding with my 3 boys weeknights. They all have the same love of BMX/Freestyle that I did at their ages. Good stuff.

40 here & still flatlanding. Family bought me a Diamond Back Joker for my 39th Bday. I have rode on & off over the last year. Was out there today for about a half hour. Pulled off basic moves like boomerankles, half-lashes, firehydrants & 2 footed squeakers. Its lots of fun & I decided to ride once a week to get some exercise in. Getting older & proud of the fact that I can still do SOMETHING after 19 years...so why the heck not? LOL

I try to ride once a week, maybe 1 hour at the most. I ride flatland and I get tired quicker now.. I just can't keep up with the pace and my back hurts afterwards. As for long distance riding, I do ride my BMX at the beach about once a month... maybe 15 mile ride back and forth at the most.
