ok, my question is, How many still doing the big jumps? Or is this regarding more towards woods riding. I love MX but even though I'm 43, my sense of fear has grown alot. I had a real bad crash a few years back and broke both my hips and I was in very good shape, physically, due to still being in the Army.
Unfortunately, I had a 19 yr break without even touching a bike and lost alot of talent on the jumps. But I did race a HS last summer and after the first lap and felt like death warmed over, I got a second wind and could just flat out rip as it all started to come back to me.
There is a member on here, Bigair40, Rodney, who can flat out fly for his age. 47 or 48 this year and can still hang with Ryan & Pooh Sipes, lap for lap. Well, at least for 5 laps anyway. AND he Podiums every year at LL.
