Title: New guy introduction
Post by: AustinFitz on November 10, 2016, 04:37:39 AM: Hey guys I'm new to the forum. I've been around on the BMX Museum site for a little over a year now, and I've just started making accounts on a couple of other forums as well.
I used to ride a lot of dirt and street back in my teenage years, but I kind of got away from bmx after getting a car, girls, parties, etc... Anyway I'm just turning 26 now and have been back into bikes for around a year and a half. In that time I've collected TONS of bikes and parts, plus a lot of knowledge as well!
Unfortunately my skills haven't come back so quickly due to a knee injury from when I was around 19. It's slowly coming back though, and I actually have just as much fun building and collecting as I do riding! My latest thing has been collecting and building stuff specifically from "The Take" and "FBM" and I'm REALLY into that righ now lol.
Seems like a cool site you guys have here though! Anyway, I just wanted to make a formal introduction for myself lol

Post by: AustinFitz on November 11, 2016, 01:27:23 AM: Thanks guys! It definitely feels good to be back into a positive and productive hobby/lifestyle. I find between building, collecting, and riding I really don't have much time, or money to waste on getting myself in trouble anymore ;D

Post by: streetStreet on December 28, 2016, 02:15:37 AM: 33 and still ride, actually, I ride more than I did five years ago. I don't get to ride in the winter sonplay hockey instead. Usually have to deal with bunny hop arms every spring when the snow melts. Usually pretty busy working forest fires in the summer too. I appreciate the time i can ride, especially with two kids and a wifey.

I want to learn whips before I get too old!
