Who races BMX?
weedbix:
Model-C isn't too 'freestyle' to race. You could run the back wheel right back in the drops but I wouldn't worry about it

I always thought I would enjoy racing, but never tried it out. I still enjoy riding fast, and love just hopping stuff while cruising around. At 32, with a serious grown up job(hands/body have to go on Monday's), and shit wrists this thread is making me think I should try it out at a novice level. What say you bikeguide? Any advice? Is it even worth it, or should I just continue bunny hopping on/off of street islands when the urge to go around fast and jumping strikes me?

Honestly, I say give it a go. Ride any bike you got that has brakes and have fun with it. The great thing about racing is you get what you put in. If you put in a lot of fun and good times you get that back. If you train relentlessly and spend money on go fast parts you get that back. So either way go catch some gates, laugh and enjoy the racing man.

Seems like a reasonable convincing response. Fully planned to just ride one of my peg less 20" w/ brakes, or my Model-C. Will look into Philly area race tracks now.
