I am 44 years old and love to ride park & dirt with my son. I have been riding for about 6 years now after not even owning a bicycle for 25 years. I feel like a kid again. I now ride a hardtail MTB with 24" Wheelset. I have found this a little easier to ride in my old age. Woodward San Marcos trails @ age 44 Me & My Son @ Da Compound
